‘They’re hurting our children, our babies’: US schools on high alert amid Trump immigration raids
Summary
Trump’s immigration raids have sparked fear in schools across the U.S., leading to mass student absences, panic among parents, and increased community activism.
In cities like Chicago, teachers and social workers are providing emotional support and legal resources to families afraid to leave their homes.
Schools are coordinating safety plans, while advocacy groups distribute "Know Your Rights" materials.
Some educators warn that fear is disrupting learning environments, while undocumented parents prepare contingency plans for their children in case of deportation.
Everything trump and is gestapo does is cruel on purpose that's the only way they feel something
I talked to a friend about the deportations and he said he "doesn't care" because they "broke the law." I showed how it will hurt us economically, how these people aren't committing crimes, how it will hurt real human beings. He said he didn't care. I don't know how to deal with that. This action will only create pain for everyone, hell even the elites may be minutely inconvenienced by it.... why are we doing it?
Some people are legitimately so simple that "no paperwork == deportation" even if it means death and suffering. Even when they know that the "right way" to come here takes a decade and is too costly. It's like humans have forgotten how to feel empathy. If I sat these people at the border and had them talk to the desperate mothers and fathers and children, would they be moved? How do you reason with someone that legitimately thinks "I don't care if people die over paperwork"
It feels like we're gleefully goose stepping toward "just following orders" and it's horrific.
You don't deal with them...you laugh when they are forced to pay $100 per egg, or to work the fields themselves. These people don't give a shit and have zero logical skills to see past literal and blatant lies.
A counterpoint is that allowing undocumented economic migrants in (which makes up the majority of illegal immigration) then there is reduced capacity for a country to take in and integrate refugees who are actually at risk of death or persecution.
It is disingenuous to talk about illegal immigration as if all of them are at risk of death in their country of origin, and those that are genuinely at risk are refugees and able to apply for asylum once they reach a country.
