It's not just poor Latinos that have this administration seeing red, they apparently resent what they see as too many Asian CEOs in Silicon Valley.

That's right up my alley as a person of color( not Asian or Hispanic tho) that is in an executive management position in Silicon Valley.

Trump aide Steve Bannon really hates Asian CEOs | Fusion

How does the race of CEOs in SV hinder the growth of a 'civic society'?

On the one hand, we're moochers, on the other hand we're uppity? So which is it Trumpsters?

And are yall going to send soldiers to seize our cars, homes, possessions, money etc if you think we're 'too' successful?

Not go off the deep end.
Uh huh, so if I rob a bank, or other unlawful act, I may be pardoned if I found a job, had kids, bought a house living the "dream", I can tell the judge and jury that they need to be practical and allow me to stay? What kind of convoluted logic is that? You must be one of those do good evangelicals who brought in millions of uneducated, poor refugees to feed at our federal giveaway trough for 7 guaranteed years. Our vets, homeless and poor should be first in line. Shame on you. Go say your rosary.

No you should be punished for robbing a bank.

The punishment for illegally crossing the border is a fine of up to $250 and up to 6 months in jail( most likely not).

If they agreed to the punishment prescribed by federal law, you folks should be pleased, right?

Indeed.
Did I say random amounts for no reason? If you fail to file income tax every April, you'll be audited. If it's determined that you made enough to owe tax and you refuse, they will garnish your wages to get what's owed. If you don't have a paycheck to garnish, they'll jail you.

Are you even an American citizen? This stuff is pretty basic.

Hahaha go ahead and send them over-see how it turns out.

You demand that we pay taxes but then refuse to spend any tax money here? And you think that's okay?

You negate your responsibility by forcing us to deal with undocumented residents and then get mad because we do?

And now we're the bad guy?

Hahaha

Right, but these are individual instances.

Im talking about the state ordering all employers to redirect payroll taxes normally paid to the fed, to state taxes instead.

There's no precedent for that so your explantion doesnt apply.
