It's the fact that we cannot guarantee the safety of any of these foreigners who might be coming to the US this summer. Many of them are brown and black, and many don't speak English. For the ones who do speak English, it's their 2nd language. Normally that would be fine, but these aren't normal times.

If these ICE assholes are still wandering around shooting people and tossing riot gas cannisters into crowds, it will be a recipe for disaster.
