British Home Children and Barnardo's Boys - A personal Tale

Immigration is always in the news, it seems. Always. Once upon a time, immigration into the USA and Canada was mostly by white people. These people did not always come willingly, and were often not treated well once here. In the USA, check out the 'No Irish Need Apply' statements from the 1800's, for one example. For an example of harsh working conditions, how's about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory? These white immigrants often came from the same impoverished, abusive and horrible situations modern immigrants nowadays leave in their home countries to try for a better place here. And often, the places they found here weren't that much better than those they had left, at least at first.

Was the ICE protest death in Tacoma a DHS sting/false flag operation?

I want to start off by saying that I am not a journalist or investigator, and I don't have access to any information about what happened in Tacoma than any of you do. What I will try to do here is look at the MSM/MIC narrative that has been created around this incident, and put this in the context of surrounding events. So what follows is strictly speculation.

Nothing has changed.
First they came for the trade unionists. The private sector unions were decimated with regulations, neutered of rights to organize, and limited in its revenue gathering. Then the public sector unions came under attack and is some instances rendered powerless. So far, the only public unions NOT under attack are the police and fire unions. Which are the only people the ruling junta needs to complete and hold their conquest.
And no one spoke up.

I am not anti-immigrant, far from it considering my family hasn't been here for very long itself, but I do agree that we should have some controls and requirements to become a citizen, but that isn't what I want to focus on.

What I would like to address is what seems to me to be the most obvious approach to dealing with those entering or staying in the country illegally.
