we don’t know how many Angelinos who’ve been arrested or wounded thus far are US citizens. Other Latinos with US citizenship might well shrug their shoulders and say “Oh, it’s just undocumented” or “Oh, it’s just those people out in California.”

It’s not until this ICE cr@p is more widespread and brown-skinned Americans whose forebears have been in the US longer than half of Donald John’s inderlings start feeling nervous that there’s going to be a sea-change.

Sorry, I’m from Texas, and I lost hope for things getting better here a decade ago. I don’t like it. I HATE it. But I have to acknowledge reality.
