No, they are suppose to go after the other illegals!

What's crazy to me is: how do you think ICE is going to be identifying illegal immigrants? By checking IDs right? How is ICE gonna know who to check? I think we all know the answer, but proponents of this initiative are being dishonest with themselves.

It’s like that time my client got pulled over for Driving While Brown. He showed the cop his international driver’s license, which oops, went missing along with his entire wallet when he was arrested for driving without a driver’s license. Good luck getting a copy of documentation proving you’re a US citizen from inside a detention center, before you get dumped over the Mexican border. Despite being born here, and your parents are Cuban. Dumber shit has already happened, and will happen again.

TIL that the government really did use a nasty slur to name their deportation initiative. I thought it was a colloquial name for the operation but nope, they called it that. Fun. Fun times here in the ol' U.S. of A.
