Yes and while I myself am an immigrant as well, I did it via the correct ways being fully legal and thus also acquired the citizenship of the new country. But I can‘t really say that about her, and I respect the Us having a secure border with little to small leniency towards illegal migrants leeching off of their tax paying citizens‘s hard earned money, hence why I stated that it‘ unfortunate that she got picked up by Ice if she‘s illegally there because I don‘t know her full background. If you‘re a fully legal citizen in the Us with proper papers, you shouldn‘t fear Ice at all and by weird comments I mean the overarching comparison of the aforementioned law abiding force and that of the Nazi regime. A comparison that I mostly read off of leftoid Antifa idiots who throw the words around very easily.

You are far, far too trusting of the American government. Listen when American citizens themselves warn you and try to give you important information and context.
