From Reddit: ICE arrests [View all]

-If you are using undocumented immigrants' tax records to find and kidnap them, then it was never about them paying taxes.

-If you are showing up at their place of employment, then it was never about them not working.

-If you are showing up at courthouses, then it was never about getting them to "do it the right way".

-If you are kidnapping innocent people and children, then it was never about criminals.

-If you're refusing to give them due process, then it was never about the Constitution.

-If you are building concentration camps in Florida to keep them here in cages, then it was never about the border.

-If you're spending billions to do this, then it was never about the economy.

-And if you're doing all this in the name of a 34 time convicted felon, then it was never about following the law.
