I’m Hispanic, and I support Law & Order. Our community has lived through a lot. Before rushing to judge, take a moment to understand where we’re coming from. If this resonates with you, feel free to share.
I’m honestly saddened by how quickly many of you are attacking and speaking so ugly toward people who support ICE, especially in light of what happened in Minnesota. People are frustrated. People are grieving. That’s understandable.
Let me be very clear, no one should celebrate death. What happened in Minnesota was tragic, and my prayers are with the families who lost loved ones. Supporting ICE does not mean I celebrate loss of life, excuse wrongdoing, or hate others. It means I support law enforcement doing its job lawfully, and I believe that if anyone acts wrongly, they should be held accountable. Law enforcement and civilians alike.
I also want to make this point honestly. It’s important to remember that interfering with armed law-enforcement operations creates dangerous situations for everyone involved, officers, civilians, and bystanders. That reality doesn’t erase grief, but it matters when we talk about safety and responsibility. Holding individuals accountable does not mean condemning an entire agency or rejecting the rule of law altogether. Civilians remember that while peacefully protesting.
Let’s talk about why ICE is doing what it’s doing. ICE isn’t showing up in cities randomly. They are operating all over the country right now because of the massive surge in illegal entries over the last few years during the Biden Administration! Millions crossed the border without authorization, largely including criminals, traffickers, and people with violent histories. That’s the situation that put ICE in this position in the first place.
Did y’all forget thats why this page exists??? It’s because of this problem! Our town and surrounding border communities lived it!
Property damage.
High-speed human smuggler chases.
People crossing our front and backyards at night.
Homes broken into.
Bailouts in School Zones.
Overflow facilities.
Busloads of illegal aliens.
And the very real concern of people being released into our neighborhoods.
And while all of this was happening, Americans were paying for it! Housing, food, medical care, transportation, emergency services, while our own community was stretched thin and ignored.
Now let me say this clearly.
I am Hispanic.
My mother and my grandmother came to this country and became American citizens.
Was it hard? Yes.
Was it costly? Yes.
They did it because they loved this country and wanted to add to it, not exploit it.
So with all due respect please don’t insult my heritage, or my intelligence by calling ME, my family and others “racist” because we believe in law and order or because we support ICE doing its job as Hispanics.
And here’s something many of you forget.
My wife, myself, and other local citizens took action. We pushed hard enough that Governor Greg Abbott signed a disaster declaration for our community because of how bad things really were. We personally got to hand it off to him.
Those of you who oppose law enforcement, or good border policies, where were you then?
We personally toured a local influx facility with a city official because we were concerned about the welfare of those being detained and what would happen if the situation spilled further into our community.
Those who attacked online, where were you to make it better?
We were one step away from having people released into our community, just like what happened in Uvalde and Del Rio. We spoke up. We stood our ground. It didn’t happen.
Where were you?
We went to the news to force President Biden to listen. Many of you criticized. But we partnered with others, took the heat, and worked to keep our community safe.
Where were you?
So respectfully, before you shame people for supporting enforcement, ask yourself a harder question.
When things were at their worst, where were you? Helping or dividing? What are you doing now? Helping or dividing? This isn’t about creating division; it’s about ensuring balanced and transparent information for everyone.
Yes of course compassion matters. Yes, accountability matters. But compassion without law is chaos, and chaos is what hurt our community and continues to hurt American citizens.
America voted for the problem to be addressed.
Upholding the law isn’t the problem. Ignoring it was. Supporting law and order doesn’t make us heartless. Forgetting what our community, and other American citizens endured, DOES.
Let’s be fair, informed, and respectful in how we talk about this, especially to people on this page who have stood up for community safety when it mattered.
