If I see a border patrol officer, I'm treating them like absolute shit.
I once was a bit dismissive/rude to a friend of a cousin when I learned he had just moved to SoCal to work as border patrol. Initially, I thought it would be cool to make a new friend. I legit couldn't help it. Come to find out a couple years later that he quit because he couldn't handle the cruelty/racism. I somewhat regret not being a bit more friendly to him, especially considering he was one of the good ones (the ones that leave). If it were today, I'd maybe just be more clear in my reason for being rude. Communication and whatnot
I’ve seen it while with my wife (from Mexico) crossing into the US (I’m white, from the US).
In fact, they were going to turn her away from entering the US at a pedestrian crossing because the railing forced us to walk in single file and she was in front of me. It wasn’t until I spoke up and said “she’s my wife and a legal resident” that they even took her seriously.
On a lighter note, their broken in Spanish is hilarious after spending any length of time in Mexico.
Kids don't even have papers to check. At most they have a school ID, which the school possibly gives to all students. Are they going to kidnap anyone who goes on a field trip without their birth certificate?
A story about reports about a thing that may be happening.
I doubt ICE wastes resources on this. It would be a clusterfuck for them as no child can prove his citizenship status. ICE has far easier targets. This is the sort of thing that happens way down the road when they're running out of low-hanging fruit.
I wanted to find a news story about it happening, so that I could prove you wrong. I proved myself wrong instead. Check this out: "Officials in Texas have reassured parents that school buses will not be targeted in immigration enforcement action"
I think it was a joke about the ambiguity of English in this instance. I find it amusing to willfully misinterpret things sometimes; it keeps the despair off.
