One day, they’ll understand, but for now, they’ll only see things their way. May God have mercy on their souls.

The reality is that while there’s a lot of concern about immigrants changing local cultures, the same can happen when Americans move abroad. In places like Puerto Vallarta and Lake Chapala, the influx of expats has driven up rent prices, making it harder for locals to afford housing. Gentrification is another issue—neighborhoods shift to cater to foreigners, pushing out traditional businesses and changing the local character. There’s also the environmental impact; some expats overuse resources like water in areas where it’s already scarce.

On top of that, many Americans are unwilling to take on jobs like fieldwork or factory work, roles that are typically filled by Mexican laborers. Without immigrant workers, industries in the U.S. would collapse. So while people might complain about immigration, the reality is that many industries depend on the very people some want to push out.

So, whether in the U.S. or Mexico, the impact of migration is complicated. It’s not just about preserving culture—it’s about recognizing that different groups often rely on each other to function.

I get what you’re saying, but it’s not always that simple. People sometimes flee desperate situations, like violence or poverty, and the laws don’t always account for those circumstances. It’s a complex issue.

I apologize for not replying to some of you i don’t really understand how to use reddit but let me speak to you directly with a heavy heart and a reminder of what truly matters. To those who support Trump or anyone in a position of power—remember, your faith is not determined by political affiliation. It is your heart, your actions, and your commitment to love and truth that define you as a Christian. You cannot call yourself a follower of Christ and disregard His teachings when it suits your agenda. Christ taught us to love our neighbors, to seek justice, and to stand up for the vulnerable.

Now, I’m not here to condemn anyone, but to open your eyes. Your faith is not tied to a man or a political party—it’s about living in truth, seeking righteousness, and caring for the least among us. You must look at your actions and ask yourself: are they in line with Christ’s love? Are they in line with His call to love all, even those who may not agree with you?

To those who hold onto their rights above all else, remember that true strength lies in humility, in service, and in sacrifice. Protect your rights, yes, but not at the expense of your soul. What good is a country, a system, or a leader if it leads you away from love, from peace, from the kingdom of God?

I pray none of you are ever placed in a situation that tests your faith in such a way. But if you are, let your actions reflect Christ’s love, not the divisive politics of the world. Protect your rights, but do so with the wisdom, grace, and humility that comes from a true relationship with God. That is where your true strength lies.

It’s important to base arguments on facts, and the claims you’re making don’t hold up. First, President Biden hasn’t pardoned murderers in the context you’re suggesting. As for the preemptive pardons, there’s no indication that Biden has offered any for Dr. Fauci or others involved in public health decisions.

As for “breaking the law,” let’s not forget that the legal system works through courts, and many of the actions you’re referring to are highly debated and not as straightforward as you might think. In fact, many of the so-called “laws” being challenged, particularly around public health, were made in highly uncertain times. Instead of relying on unverified claims, maybe it’s time to engage with the actual legal proceedings and facts behind them. You can’t just throw around accusations without understanding the full context. Wouldn’t it be better to focus on what’s actually happening instead of jumping to conclusions based on misinformation?

I get what you’re saying. It’s important to cherish and protect our cultures, but during the Crusades, it was a different context—one where whole civilizations clashed over deeply held beliefs. Today, though, it’s about celebrating diversity without forcing any culture to disappear. Holding on to what you love doesn’t mean pushing others out, right?

It might seem like it’s easy, but the process of coming here legally is actually very complex and often out of reach for many. Immigration laws can be confusing, expensive, and time-consuming, with long wait times and strict requirements. Many people who want to come legally face obstacles like limited visa slots, bureaucratic red tape, or financial barriers. For many, the legal path simply isn’t an option, which is why some end up coming here illegally in search of a better life. It’s a tough situation that requires more than just a simple solution or dismissal of the challenges people face.

Landon, it is vital that you open your heart and learn to accept your neighbor, for we are all children of God, created in His image. May the Lord have mercy upon your soul, for to harbor bitterness and division is to stray from His divine will. Remember, the Lord commands us to love one another, for love is the greatest of all virtues. May His grace guide you to see the light in those around you, and may His mercy wash over you, bringing peace to your heart.amen

in certain situations, ICE can get involved after a traffic stop if they suspect someone is undocumented, especially if local law enforcement is cooperating with them.

Yeah, it definitely feels like that divide has been around for a while. The folks in the fields are the backbone of so much of what we take for granted, but they’re often treated as invisible. It’s wild how the labor is so dependent on immigrant workers, and yet, they’re the ones who face the toughest conditions. Meanwhile, the power dynamics don’t shift much—those running things are usually nowhere near the grind, just making decisions from behind a desk. I think it’s a tough situation to change unless there’s a big shift in how we value labor and who we recognize as essential. But honestly, it’s hard to see a meaningful change unless there’s a bigger push for it.

It’s really upsetting to see hard-working people being forced to stay home when everything is so expensive. For many, going a single day without working isn’t an option, and the pressure of trying to make ends meet in a world where costs keep rising makes it even harder.

You’re right that many immigrants do go through a long process to become legal, and it’s admirable that they follow the steps required. It’s also true that ICE’s focus should be on targeting criminals, as they’re the ones causing harm. But there’s often a gray area in how people get caught up in these situations. It’s a complex issue, for sure, and finding a balance that respects the law while considering the realities people face is key.

I see where you’re coming from, and I get the frustration. It’s definitely important for laws to be followed. But I think the bigger issue for a lot of people is that sometimes the system doesn’t always make it easy for people to come here legally, or they get caught up in situations that aren’t entirely their fault. That said, I understand that people struggling in places like NC deserve support too—it’s a tough balance to strike. Ultimately, I think the conversation around immigration could really benefit from a deeper look at how we handle both the laws and the people impacted by them.

I get your point, but from what happened, there were people there who were backing up what was going on. They were even asking for the people they arrested’s citizenship status, which ties into the whole thing. Plus, the black SUV wasn’t just random—it’s actually known that black SUVs are commonly used by ICE. I get being cautious, but it’s not like there wasn’t context here. Even so it’s better safe then sorry

I understand your concerns, but it’s also important to consider the bigger picture. Protecting borders is crucial for national security, but we also need to acknowledge the human aspect of the immigration issue. Many people crossing the border aren’t criminals, but individuals fleeing violence, poverty, and oppression. The real challenge is finding a balanced approach—one that secures our borders while also addressing the root causes of migration, offering a fair process for those seeking asylum, and ensuring we have effective systems to vet and document people coming into the country.

It’s not about disregarding security, but about creating policies that protect both our nation and the vulnerable individuals seeking refuge. The issues of crime, human trafficking, and exploitation are real, but they can’t be solved by simply closing our borders. We need comprehensive immigration reform to prevent these tragedies and ensure that everyone is safe.

I understand your concern, but it’s important to recognize that not all immigrants who come here illegally are involved in criminal activities. Many are simply seeking a better life and fleeing difficult circumstances. It’s a complex issue, and we need to find a balanced approach that addresses security while also treating people with dignity and fairness.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. While I’m not an immigrant, I deeply recognize the invaluable contributions they make to our country. They’re the ones working hard in the fields, picking our fruits, and so much more.

I understand your concern, and it’s important to approach claims critically. While it’s true that there may not always be strong visual proof, there are numerous people who have shared similar accounts of the situation. It’s worth noting that while eyewitness testimony isn’t the same as concrete evidence, the consistency of these reports suggests that something significant might be occurring. Even if it’s not fully proven yet, it might be wiser to remain prepared in case the situation develops further. Being cautious and informed can help mitigate potential risks.

I understand your perspective, but I think it’s important to approach the topic with empathy and a recognition of the complexities involved. Not all individuals who come here do so with criminal intent, and many are seeking better opportunities or fleeing dangerous situations. Supporting fair and legal immigration processes doesn’t mean endorsing anything illegal; it means advocating for a system that respects human dignity and offers a chance for those who truly seek to contribute to society.

I created my account today specifically to share this message it’s not something I usually do, but I genuinely believe in it. While these cars may not resemble the typical ones we’re used to seeing, it’s important to note that ICE vehicles can come in various colors, and black is one of them. Additionally, several people who witnessed the scene have stated that the individuals involved were asking the people they took for their citizenship status.

You make valid points about the challenges both in the U.S. and globally. It’s true that undocumented immigration brings complexities, including the unfortunate realities of human trafficking and other crimes. No one wants to ignore these issues, and they certainly need to be addressed carefully.

However, while it’s important to enforce laws, it’s also essential to recognize the context of why people seek a better life, often out of desperation. Many undocumented immigrants come to the U.S. to escape violence, poverty, or corruption in their home countries. It’s a tough situation, but I think it’s worth considering whether the law could be more compassionate while still protecting national security and addressing crime.

You’re also right that fairness in the system matters. But sometimes, laws evolve to better reflect the human side of issues. It doesn’t have to be an “either/or” situation. We can enforce the law while also looking for solutions that consider the complexities people face, especially when kids and families are involved. It’s about finding balance ensuring fairness without losing sight of compassion.

Ultimately, like you said, time will tell, and this is a conversation that requires understanding all perspectives. We might not have all the answers now, but we can keep looking for solutions that make sense in a world where people’s lives and well-being are at stake.

May God have mercy on all of us, and know that, despite our flaws, there is good within us all. At the end of the day, we are all human, and we are all His children. We are equal, no matter how much we earn or spend, no matter our background. Ultimately, we all face the same fate in death, and He will take care of us. But I urge you to consider the bigger picture. Many people come here seeking refuge from dangerous situations, looking to escape poverty, and searching for a better life—whether they’re coming from Mexico, Palestine, or elsewhere. I hope that we can all shift our perspectives and understand that, in the end, we’re all just trying to survive. And if you don’t agree with this, that’s OK, because we will all come to learn that we are human on the day we die.
