Minneapolis Somali Businesses Struggle While ICE Executes Federal Policy
While The Independent meticulously details the economic strain—lost wages, empty stores—it gently tiptoes around the historical precedent. This isn't just about 'Donald Trump's aggressive immigration policies.' The federal government, under various administrations, has a well-documented history of using enforcement to disrupt and control immigrant communities. From Chinese Exclusion to German
internment, the rationale shifts, but the impact on families and businesses remains chillingly consistent. (One might call it targeted economic warfare, but who's counting?) So, as businesses struggle, one might wonder: how many 'crackdowns' will it take before our media calls it what it is—a systemic tool for social engineering, rather than just an unfortunate side effect? The 'tough on
immigration' stance consistently translates to real people losing their livelihoods, but hey, at least the 'Homeland Security' budget is always healthy, right?
