Oh it definitely is about race once you look closer. Just like most racism you have to look past the surface to see its tendrils snaking its way around. What I described is just the mechanics of a removal but none of what leads up to the primary situation and what goes on under the surface.

The cry against the toll isnt a money thing just a congestion thing. That area is lousy with congestion and a toll would slow that down even further.

Not really. Just shows how deep white supremacy values are rooted.

Pretty much has to do with older standards for these jobs. BAck in the day you didnt really need a related degree just pass through some rigorous interviews and training. Several of the people int he agency for more than 10 years said they were just hiring off the street.

Definitely not. These ideas are deeply rooted.

It definitely does. There has been a lot of training to overcome that but there are a lot of values of the workers that conflict with that.

So this is how a typical removal goes:

There definitely is but the people petitioning these kids away arent those white people. ACS is predominantly women of color.

Not local government really. BART is run by people in the area while the MTA is run by Albany 150 miles away.

Not feasible for everyone. not everyone is healthy enough to ride a bike or can ride one multiple miles in ass swamp humid NY summer or blistering wind NY Winters.

Not in Manhattan traffic theyre not.

And thats being generous with Astoria. I have a coworker here in Midtown that lives in Jamaica. Thats over 10 miles just to get to the bridge.

WE dont want them to RUN healthcare we want them to pick up the bill for healthcare. Hospitals and Doctors run healthcare.

The issue is that as of late there have been pretty major issues every other day. Since the entire system is tightly woven that means that the effects of a delay on 1 line reach pretty far. We all expect minor delays every day but then every other day we get a moderate delay and then every week there is a major delay…

Wife and I tried watching this over the weekend. Got through maybe 15 minutes of it and got bored.

YOU Said the situations I listed of things being out of peoples hands was a lie and I proved it wasnt because I have seen it happen. 10 years in this country gone because a van full of brown people on a highway was suspicious looking.

Nope 100% truth.

so kids who have been here 16-17 years and have no memories or ties to the country they were born in should be deported?

If there are cases against the mother concerning the other children then this childs situation would have immediately gone in front of a judge. So a judge decided that this child should not go home with the parents.

Just a note here: This isnt just the caseworkers call but their supervisors and managers. When I worked a similar job it was 90% investigative and maybe 10% social work. Caseworkers just act on what their superiors tell them to do.
