It's also rather silly to use the card oh I'm part blank there for I can say over generalize not justifiable comments against that group as facts. If you are part Hispanic it doesn't give you credibility just make you a little xenocentric.

Do you know most Hispanic Construction workers in Texas? it's impossible to know your statement, but your comment is base on profiling. generalizing and assumption.
Have you lived in Texas? Do you know people who do construction contracting in Texas?
And the foreigners are frequently easy to identify just like Americans are easy to spot in Europe. You can "profile" Americans in Europe and be fairly accurate.

Illegal immigration is not an accident, it is modern day slavery. If your home is being built by illegals you are no different then a old plantation owner.

And a big thanks to Trump for finally laying down the law!

Will it make a difference in GA population? Certain areas, yes, but overall not so much.
Trump isn't doing anything new at all, but believe it all you want.

Obama was already regularly deporting the ones that needed to be.

Hint chicago - atlanta - dallas, I was born in Chicago but most of my life I raised between Texas and Georgia. Ironically the posters you respond to also have association between Texas and Georgia. A GA native who live McKinney. So you just respond to two posters who lived in Texas actually. but never mind that

There seems to be a dilemma here. If you deem being illegal as something negative, then just make assumption to who is illegal with no evidence. So basically you just deem something negative to swamps of people base on nothing.

foreigners and illegals are not the same thing.

A foreigner can be a immigrant, visitor, foreign exchange student, you can't deem some one who show foreigner cultural traits as "illegal" also illegal could assimilate to Americans culture especially if they live time in the US, There virtually no way to know if some is an illegal immigrant or not with out knowing their paper work and background.

People are innocent until proven guilty, Assuming something negative about people is the idea prejudice. "pre-judge". Being against illegal immigrants is one thing assuming people are illegal is overtly prejudice.

The irony is, the majority of the people here didnt come here "legally" but we like to put a date range on when that actually matters.

Trump is just getting warmed up. Deportations will accelerate in the next couple years. He's on a mission.

I'd be very surprised if Trump deports as many as Obama.

ICE just did a big raid, but all reports were that it wasn't anything out of the normal.

If they are incarcerating people in huge numbers though, you'll see serious economic implications on top of the stories coming out of families being broken apart.

NPR said some guy on Buford Highway got deported this week, and his family didn't even know. Those stories will create problems.

Her 'crime' was using a fake Social Security number many years ago to get a job at a water park. She was caught, punished and has been checking in with ICE regularly for years now - as ordered.

Now she checks in for her annual visit with ICE as she always has, and she's deported. This woman is a wife, mother and has been here since her parents brought her at 14 years of age.

For you to cheer ripping families apart in this manner in the name of deporting so called 'criminals' makes me want to puke.
