    DHS is doing exactly what it was intended to do. It exists to foment unrest, agitate political upheaval, then neutralize the heads of the activist networks. It’s the same method the military uses to take down insurgent networks in the countries we invaded.

    This has never been about immigrants, it’s just pretext.

      Exactly. The billionaires know you fan right wing flames of hate by blaming everything on immigrants so they vote for right wingers who do the bidding of billionaires against the poor’s own interests. Wash, rinse, repeat across the world. That is why now all the right wing governments in Europe are talking about immigrants committing crimes.
