What do people not get about this national guard proposal. Do they think that the NG will stop only illegal aliens? Do they think that US citizens will not be stopped or detained in the sweeps?

This is the idiocy that I see:

And when you’re stopped and your papers check to make sure? Or are you admitting that they’re going after only dark-skinned ppl? @jaxgal72

Right-o. People think that this is not going to affect them (as white people) so why worry about the illegality or constitutionality of these actions. Using the national guard for policing is an awful thing, and the military knows it (or should know it). There are specialized units that do law enforcement, but a general mobilization means you need a lot more troops - troops that aren’t trained in how to do policing or enforcement action.

Heck, we see ICE not following the law either (as Laurence Tribe is suing on behalf of one person who was coerced and whose “confession” was invented by ICE agents).

This entire thing is a shitstorm of epic proportions, and it’d be a horror show for angry white guys too.
