View submission: Ross Nusser’s public statement on ICE
I don’t support these raids either, but some people can’t afford to lose the services that federal funding provides. It may be a situation of “raise my taxes, add a local sales tax, whatever” for you, but you have to think of the big picture. We may win the fight against ICE by resisting, but we’ll lose a lot in other areas as well. Like I said, fuck the raids, but in this situation, there’s too much at risk. Let’s protest and raise awareness, but there are real life consequences for documented American citizens that we can’t just forget about.

can you hear yourself? seriously, please, read back what you wrote. you are saying we have to sacrifice our neighbors. we have to send peoples’ parents and grandparents away from them. we have to destroy lives of people we know and care for. we have to send people who trust us and live with us back into very dangerous and unfamiliar situations far from their homes.
we don’t. and we can’t. it’s the simplest of things.

We can't just give up our own people to the feds. But even if you are a completely heartless, cynical, self-interested person, losing our community's undocumented people will cost the local economy FAR more than $15 million.
