Interesting data about location of undocumented - many more in RED states , but NO ice

[Bread and Circuses]

I wonder what the Republican voters think? Didn’t they want their PedoPrez to get rid of their Brown people too?
OR , maybe No. Because their economy would tank without hard-working, low-wage Brown people.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

6. Just send ICE to South Florida to round up Russians who've overstayed their visas.

They don't call it Little Moscow for nothing.

8. Really, I believe the war on Minnesota is about "How dare that being Walsh dare run against me in the last election"

10. He's going to balkanize the country. Maybe that's Putin's long term plan.

Donnie doesn't have long term plans other than maybe lunch. But seriously, we're not going to put up with this for much longer. Minnesota is another blue state that sends more $'s to DC than it gets back. They're killing the golden geese who keep Texas and Mississippi budgets afloat. Hey, if that's what they want to do, fine by me.

12. Texas pays more than it gets back.

Texas pays the third most of any state, after NY and CA.

13. CA had 2.25 M and seems to me,

though I’m too lazy to do the math, that FL might have a higher number per capita than we do.

Okay, FL and TX have more undocumented per capita than CA but we’re definitely next on ICE’s hit parade. Not by much but still …

FL … .0698
MN … .0257
TX … .0688
CA … .059

14. It is about Tim Walz because he had the audacity to speak against Trump during the race last year

It is Donnie dumpster’s personal retribution and we are paying for it with our hard earned tax dollars.

[Katcat]

18. Exactly

16. He's president only of his voters; the rest of us comprise the enemy

He’s punishing his enemies, blue states and blue cities. He loves to punish people and probably gets off on it.

17. In last two weeks just starting to see reports of ICE in Texas, very quiet and sneaky: El Paso,

Dallas, near Austin, Rio Grand Valley, Pasadena. An Instagram confirmed my suspicion they were cutting power to homes, making it look like just another grid outage, grabbing someone when they stepped outside to check or come to the door. That's illegal. Lots of strange nighttime outages and gun shots in our area which is unusual. Nighttime, no witnesses.
