In reply to the discussion: This guy is speaking the truth. It's a painful truth though. [View all]patphil
(8,991 posts)18. As of today, there is no plan to put a internment camp in Chester, NY. at the Pep Boys warehouse.

Similar demonstrations have stopped plans in many locations across the nation.
Have you noticed the push back by Democrats and even some republicans to ICE funding? It may or may not end in our favor, but without the protests it would have sailed through. We need to continue the protest movement and encourage it's growth. Without these protests we would already be buried in a fascist dictatorship.
We'll see how it works out in November. In the meantime, don't be so negative.
If you want change, then you have to stand and deliver.
Get out there on March 28th, and make your voice heard.
