You mean Houston, Dallas, Austin, El Paso, and San Antonio, the extremely large relatively blue cities?
Oh, of course. That's a given. But the original comment implied that the feds are only fucking with blue states and immigrants are fine in places like Georgia.
I was assuring that commenter that immigrants in Texas are indeed not okay. And where are they supposed to go? Run into the red counties surrounding the cities?
Fuck. This state has the opportunity to be someone's first glimpse of America, and it chooses to portray a shitty, hateful, dangerous view of it. Makes me fucking sick. I feel so goddamned stuck. Fortunately though, the cities have been protesting as well. There was an anti-ICE protest in SATX this past weekend, and theres another one scheduled for Saturday.
The idea is to target blue areas so they can put on a show of "doing something" about immigration while their base continues to see around the same number of brown people who don't speak English very well and so continues to believe that the "invasion" is ongoing and stronger action needs to be taken.
I'll say this though - since Trump started doing heavy ICE enforcement I've noticed a lot fewer truck drivers who need a translation app to handle basic English. Makes me wonder if ICE has got them afraid of having to deal with DOT.
