Not fast enough. Remove Trump now.

When will we start doing the uncomfortable things like looking at (agricultural) labor laws and asking why we do things this way? How could we do them better? Instead we get “deport the cheap laborers stealing jobs!” then “no, wait…” And the cycle continues. The problem doesn’t start with the workers. They’re just the easiest to attack.
I mean it's almost like the united states is a machine that runs on Mexicans and other migrant workers toiling under reprehensible conditions so that we can have... Mcdonalds?
Seeing as how quite a few legal immigrants here supported those raids at first, and now they're being targetted - he is quite literally deporting his own base. Lmao
They'll still fall in line next election and vote Republican though. Ain't nobody hates an immigrant more than another immigrant.
Hopefully next time Democrats can give a better strategy than pretending that immigrants stand together.
Ex: Kamala is Indian and Black. Guess who is coming from a deeply segregated country where they believe certain castes to be racially superior to other castes?
You ain't gonna get kumbaya togetherness as a message and get the Indian vote. You'll be seen as naive.
Democrats are shit at understanding politics or how groups think. Republicans have outplayed you on this political point and it's why the racial politics are more 50/50 than you expect.
I look forward to it next free and fair election where you can... oh damn.
Were the LA protests not something? Was the Portland protest that breached a holding facility not something?
People are taking action against the Trump administration. Not enough people, and not enough action, but three weeks ago, immigration was his strongest polling policy issue, and now he's underwater in polling on it.
People who recognized the threat when the Trump Campaign handed out their 'Mass Deportations Now' signs at the RNC have forced the mushy middle to understand (in their bones, not just intellectually) what that meant all along.
