Yeeh depending country /region refugees can be problem . Handling it requires some basic humanity levels thought.....how ICE thugs seems to do is wrong way .
There was not such anti-human style under previous presidents ,regarding illegal deportations that i remember.
These are the things us foreigners may feel need to saying in public if start seeing too much violense by fed .
Nearly 20% of health care workers in the United States are foreign born. It`s not the illegal immigrants, but just shows that immigants in many countries get the job done in many sector.
How other countries handle their "immigrants" or "refugees" or "Asylum seekers" or "illegal aliens" is up to them. it's their country to handle, not mine... which is why I don't generally try to sneak into them any more. If I come, I'll come through the front door, thank you very much, rather than trying to enter through a broken window.
As far as ICE's "Style" goes, I can't blame them. As a private citizen, not even an ICE officer, if anyone tries to run me over then they are bought and paid for. I'll end 'em right then and there if I can before they can end me. Same goes for any dumbasses that bring a gun to an arrest party. Sure, you have a Second Amendment right to carry a gun here, but with all rights also come responsibility, and taking a gun to an event that is supposed to involve only arrests does kinda beg to get shot - folks have to assume that you've brought that gun to shoot THEM, otherwise why would you have it?
So, really, if one does not want to get shot, perhaps a better course of action would be to stay at home and watch a movie. Even watching a violent move won't usually actually get the watcher shot... but intentionally going into harm'
s way carrying a gun... yeah, that often gets folks shot.
Bottom line in the Pretti case - when you go armed into situations that are none of your goddamned business, and which are likely to turn violent, and especially when YOU are fomenting said violence, YOU have made the decision and taken the responsibility for holding your own life in the balance.
I'm a STRONG supporter of the Second Amendment, and of the right to be armed, and I am also a strong supporter of planning ahead and taking responsibility for your own decisions, armed or not. Just ask a soldier - when you go armed against other armed folks, someone is likely to get poked full of holes and all leaky. it's a foreseeable inevitability.
