The Congressional Hispanic Caucus is grappling with an identity shakeup as internal tensions boil over regarding how to best use its voice on immigration and border security issues in a GOP-dominated Washington.
There’s growing frustration among the group’s House members over what several CHC sources complain is an overly passive approach by its Senate counterparts. Beyond that, there’s a divide between progressives and Frontline members on how Democrats should counter the Trump administration’s hardline border policies.
I know it may not be politically correct to point out, but there is significant racism also in immigrant communities. For example, many American citizens of Hispanic background simply want to fully integrate, and don’t look kindly on the wave of undocumented Latin American immigrants, many of whom have more Native American ancestry and hence much darker skin than they do.
Today, Americans have forgotten the long list of immigrants who once were "not considered proper, good White people". That includes Italians, Poles and other Eastern Europeans, the Irish, and of course Jews regardless of their country of origin.
Federal authorities such as ICE and the Border Patrol claim the power to conduct warrantless stops of people and vehicles within 100 miles of the US border. That includes within 100 miles of the West Coast, Eastern Seaboard or Gulf Coast.
What most people don’t know is that "two-thirds of the U.S. population lives within this 100-mile border enforcement zone".
Never knew that the Fourth Amendment did not apply within 100 miles of a border. They can set up roadblocks to conduct searches I imagine. But that doesn't give them the right to go around stopping and searching vehicles anywhere within 100 miles.

Unity is definitely the most important thing; IMO going back to the middle-ground Obama-era stances on immigration is a good place to start.

I encourage you to look at this map:

It doesn't apply if the fucking Supreme Court says it doesn't apply.
I'm assuming all their districts moved right. Maybe they need to get to the bottom of why that is.
