I don't get your point. What proportion of residents does an event need to negatively impact for you to believe that it's hassling people? Surely it can't be 1

Surely it can't be 100%, right? No event in any major city, even horrific events, actually affect everyone.
- assimpleaspossi 9mo agoHow many illegal aliens were killed in Minnesota?
- estearum 9mo agoHuh? Did you respond to the wrong comment?
- bleepblap 9mo agoWhat's the ratio of citizens to non-citizens that's okay? One citizen per every hundred or are you thinking 10-1?
- pb7 9mo agoHave you considered they could maybe just stop interfering with federal law enforcement and let them do their jobs as they have been doing for decades under all sorts of administrations? You'll be hard pressed to find a tear shed for agitators protecting illegal immigrant criminals with deportation orders.
- estearum 9mo agoNeither you nor anyone else believes this is how immigration enforcement has been done "for decades under all sorts of administrations." You can make it appear as if you have a better grasp on reality by just acknowledging that this is a much different enforcement mechanism than we've seen in the past, but you think that's okay. Anyway there are now several known cases of people being detained or deported without deportation orders. This is another point that you could at least give the appearance of honesty and grasp on reality by acknowledging.
- account42 9mo agoYou're right that immigration enforcement in the past did not have to deal with mobs trying to interfere with that enforcement.
- estearum 9mo agoDHS's own data proves that current enforcement priorities have changed. So what's more probable in your mind? ( Hypothesis A ) -- Mobs trying to interfere with law enforcement has caused DHS to focus on arresting and deporting immigrants without criminal background ( Hypothesis B ) -- DHS's focus on arresting and deporting immigrants without criminal background has required significant scale-up of personnel with minimal training (validated by DHS's own data) and required tactics that a large number of Americans believe to strike an unacceptable cost-benefit balance ( Hypothesis C ) -- The two facts (enforcement approach and public response) are not causally related to each other at all
- bleepblap 9mo agoIt's telling you chose to not answer the question and instead chose to introduce a different (straw man) question in response. At least people in the past had the integrity to acknowledge their positions head-on. One of the lamentable things missing today
