      The US is not a safe place for anyone especially POC.

      That’s the accurate statement. Yes ICE/Border Patrol are disproportionately targeting POC, but they’re not stopping there.

      Like I didn’t say this earlier because in context it was irrelevant and I hate having to write lengthy comments that discuss every part of a large complex issue, but here we are.

        Lol. I’m white passing. I can tell you with certainty that the danger is disproportionately aimed at one side of the Melanin scale. (It isn’t the side I inhabit, btw.)

          Okay cool you can say that as much as you want, but there are documented cases demonstrating that this effects everyone in the US or attempting to enter.

          I even acknowledged already that POC are disproportionately affected in my last comment. Why are you trying to manufacture an argument?
