I have to actually laugh on a couple counts:

[PCIntern]

1. All these tough guys who brandish their flags, work at being storm troopers for the federal government, talk a big game about being like Rambo, show up in body armor, helmets, semi automatic weapons, en masse to take into custody some poor guy who works picking fruit or working for a roofing company or the like. Watching a roof being replaced the other day across the street from my home by an all-Hispanic crew, I thought to myself I’d like to see one of these ICE guys carry a 4 x 8 piece of plywood, 2 1/2 stories up a ladder, balanced on the top of his head. He’d need a frigging parachute and rescue lines before he’d try. Tough guys. Yeah.

2. You know this Mamdani fella running for mayor of NYC? His daddy was a counselor at a JEWISH SLEEPAWAY CAMP in the 1960’s. I have been made to understand that he was, objectively, for want of a better word, an asshole. The kids apparently made fun of him which may have assisted mightily in giving rise to this apparent family hatred of Israel. I’m not making this up: I was told this by someone whom I’ve known my entire adult life who was a camper in this guy’s bunk for eight weeks. True story.

Well, that’s all I can come up with at the moment.

1. I used to know a guy who was a manager of a roofing company.

He said their non-Hispanic workers tended to come in late or not at all because they were either hung over, drunk, in jail, or some combination; if they did show up they were sloppy and inclined to fall off the roofs they were working on. The Hispanic workers were consistently reliable, competent and hard-working. You hate to generalize like that, but that's what he was seeing. So if Stephen Miller has his way, good luck getting your roof replaced after it's been torn off by a tornado in an area that never used to get them.

2. My hairdressers in Tennessee were building a house

The first contractor they hired had an all-local crew made of "white" guys. When they went to inspect the work after a week, it was sloppy and poorly done, so they fired the contractor. They asked around and found another contractor who employed only Hispanics. One of them went to the site one day to watch them work. They were of the "measure twice, cut once" school, and when they inspected the work, it was tight and well done. a couple weeks later, one of my friends had occasion to ask the foreman (who spoke pretty good English) why he thought his guys did so much better work than the local guys. Rather than getting the answer he expected, which was that they did it to prove that they were better and to get the jobs. the man said that in the country he came from, tradesmen, and especially carpenters, who did good work were respected because after all, "Jesus was a carpenter, no?" Hard to argue with that.
