We need ICE... We shouldn't... but we do! It would be ideal if those with criminal intent simply left, allowing the hardworking individuals who want to be here to stay and begin their path to citizenship—a process that respects the laws of the land.
However, the reality is that criminals rarely operate that way. They often put everyone at risk without regard for the consequences, prioritizing their own needs above the safety of the community they hide within. They count on the compassion of that very community to shield them, even while they may be committing serious offenses.
When we ignore these dangers, we inadvertently fail the victims of crimes like trafficking and robbery. The safety of our neighborhoods should be paramount. Voting is essentially "renting" leadership to protect and serve us, but we must remember that safety is an ongoing battle.
We need to be realistic about the dangers that can exist right next door. Criminals often blend in, appearing as the "quiet neighbor," while concealing dangerous connections or intentions. We cannot afford to turn a blind eye. We must prioritize the safety of our families and neighbors, understanding that while we want to be compassionate, we also need to let law enforcement do the necessary job of keeping our communities safe.
