    Notice the headline says 800 immigrants NOT illegal immigrants. Noting in the article suggested any of the 800+ people arrested were illegally in the country either.

      Yeah that is what is so fucked. The narrative rapidly went from criminal illegals only and not ‘regular’ illegals, to any undocumented person, and now to anyone who is just an immigrant.

      This is what is scaring the shit out of me. As a Canadian, I can visit the US and stay (but not work) for 6 months out of the year legally… but given the situation they might just arrest me st the border or just after crossing for no fucking reason. This is why I am not going in any time soon.

        I’m not saying that they’re not lying about their operation being illegal immigrants.

        However, when multiple sources are using slightly different language, it makes it vastly confusing.
