(59,850 posts)20. I think about that, too when I'm in the States.
I'm not Hispanic, but I have business and personal contacts in Spain, where I once lived and went to school. I sometimes get phone calls from Spain when I am in the States, and I cannot count on ignorant ICE thugs to be able to distinguish between the Spanish of Latin America and the Spanish of Spain. When I'm in the States with my wife, we speak German together, as we always have since the day we met (almost 52 years ago now). No ICE goons would have legal grounds for grabbing us off the street, but from what I can see, that goes for over half the people they are grabbing off the street already (when they are not killing them outright).
