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.
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.
I leveled with him today and said that I was really disappointed about our conversation and I wanted to talk about it more. I approached them from a place of wanting to understand their position but also make sure they had all the information. I presented everything calmly w wide ranging sources from PBS to the Cato Institute. It’s just a straight up bad idea to deport these people. I showed him that the Heritage Foundation had no actual fact or statistics on their website to support their claims – just that illegals are illegal – he found that compelling.
He ended up saying he was not super informed and that there’s so much propaganda and information overload that it feels like we can’t even know what’s real. Everyone’s lying or has an agenda. I totally get it.
We both got a lot out of it. I think it’s worth it to try engaging with people who are actually willing.
