My understanding of the protests is they're primarily against the removal of illegal immigrants and as Trump has taken control of (?) some state elements that has become a contentious point, but wasn't to begin with.
Normally I'd read up more before discussing with people, but the news article seem pretty blurry on the primary intentions of the protesters and what specifically they are against.
Indiscriminate rounding up. We are seeing citizens detained. Families separated. Fear, which is clearly the point.
Genuine question here, do you think illegal immigrants in churches or working on farms should not be deported, but those without a job or day labouring should?
I find it strange to distingush an illegal immigrant based on perceived value. If someone breaks into my house but also does my washing and mows my lawn, that doesn't change the fact they broke into my house.
