I live in an area where people ask you where you’re from and if you actually live in the neighborhood. They may assume you don’t speak English, like they have with my wife.
ICE has already gone through the town nextdoor, and I’m waiting for our turn. I’m light-skinned, but my wife and kids are dark with Mayan features. I fear that all anyone has to do to terrorize my family is call a hotline. We have all our citizenship documentation, but that doesn’t matter anymore.
I keep waiting for the day when I’m going to have to defend my family, but I might not even be around when things take place. What if they come take my wife while she’s at work? What if she goes shopping and never comes back?
I have nothing without my family. I have nothing.
I think that’s the raw issue: you haven’t provided a proper solution for OP to protect his family.
We already agreed a frontal confrontation is probably not the best strategy. But I fail to see any other strategies that won’t result in the family still getting abducted, raped, and deathcamped, that history has already proven.
