11. Hispanic people aren't any sort of a monolith

and I know a few who have voiced support in the past about rounding up ipeople who are here illegally. Now that they've seen how it's working out in practice, there's a hell of a lot less support for it.

A lot of the Border Patrol here are Hispanic but with 500 year old US roots since Europeans came into this part of the country via Mexico. Most of the ones I'v met have been decent enough. I have to wonder what Miller, Noem and Fatso have done to them to turn them into Fatso's occupying army.

ICE is broken and it can't be fixed. It needs to go. I hope DHS goes with them. Alex Pretti didn't have to die. ICE is so poorly trained and so totally out of control that any indictment for his murder should go all the way to the top.
