How many Latinos in the US do you think believe that they won't be profiled by ICE because look more "white" and speak English?

I would imagine that most know that if they are here illegally they are subject tom deportation no matter what color they are.

Do you even understand what profiling is? Your answer tells me that you don't. This is way beyond being an "illegal." ICE is being driven by quotas. Detain first; ask questions later... or maybe never. They are detaining people who are following the appropriate procedures. It's obvious that this is NOT about removing violent criminals. 4 month old babies don't belong in detention centers. I'm amazed by all of the so-called MAGA Christians who love this. It's disgusting!

these people should, have stayed home. Americans voted to deport them all. All 20 million of them. President Trump had hired additional ICE agents and has funded the construction of new detention facilities,. July broke all records for deportations and August is on track to beat that,
There are bound to be a few errors.

"There are bound to be a few errors." Spoken like a person who has never been profiled or had his ass kicked in by cops based on what he looks like. Just as I thought. You don't know what profiling is. Enjoy your white privilege and protection. Spit on the "illegal" doing the work you despise, but is necessary... while you celebrate their detention. You know... the jobs that MAGAT rednecks don't want to do. You sound like the Nazis who cheered the undesirables headed to prison camps (aka detention centers). You're probably excited that they're now giving ICE agents "shock gloves" to control "illegals." Shit! They don't even give cops these barbaric devices. I guess tasers and guns are too many good for the "illegal scum," right? Praise Jesus and pass the ammunition!

The electric gloves are for the protection of the ICE agents. They are not allowed to use the 24" polycarbonate riot batons that I used to sell the cops back in the 80s and 90s.

[Asker]

It's getting more difficult to tell when you're joking or not. But, this time, I can tell that you're not being serious at all...

[exitseven]

I actually was cerified to teach the batons to police departments that needed to get certified for insurance reasons.

[Asker]

If you think that your experience is convincing me to think "shock gloves"... in addition to all the other almost deadly crap is ok, think again. ICE is out of control. They lack proper training and work based on a quota system... which is utter bullshit! It's interesting that you ignore the issue of profiling. Most white people think that it doesn't exist because they have never had a cop harass them or beat their ass based on what they look like or the language they speak. Whites are the vast majority of the ones calling ICE on neighbors who they don't like. They use it as a threat to terrify because no one would ever suspect them of being "illegal." This is the grand entrance to white privilege... which, of course, I'm sure you think doesn't exist. Keep enjoying it...

I never saw any white privilege. I was usually the one who was denied any benefits and went to the end of the line for jobs

[Asker]

Sure...

[Asker]

You and I both know that white people are not being profiled by ICE or the police in general based on what they look like. I CAN TELL BY YOUR ANSWER THAT YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN FOLLOWED AROUND BY COPS OR HARASSED BASED ON WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE. I'M REALLY TIRED OF WHITE PEOPLE LYING ABOUT THIS REALITY OR SHOWING COMPLETE IGNORANCE OF IT.

Most.

The law enforcement ice comes with lists for certain people. They gave driver license to illegals, so we know name and vehicle of immigrant. They don't do "profiling". They don't walk into a bar and say "line up and whites on other side." profiling does not happen.

None. The Spanish and Portuguese were of Carthaginian or Lusitanian (Celtic) ancestry not Roman.

[Asker]

Seeing that there are so many darker skinned Latinos in Central and South America, I find that difficult to believe.

[Opinion Owner]

Carthage is north Africa... You find it harder to believe that is their ancestry because their skin now is too dark?

You think they are too dark to be part north African and are in fact more central european in ancestry?

I have no idea how to respond to that inversion of expectation.

[Asker]

This is not complicated at all. Skin tone plus language and/or accent are the key ingredients of ICE profiling. You are living in a fantasy world if you think differently.

[Opinion Owner]

I don't disagree.
I just think the term "Latino" is wrongly assigned. If it were being used to describe Italian ancestry Americans it would make sense, but as it ia currently used it exposes the American population's lack of understanding of the English language they appropriated and European history.
