I remember being at a protest against the immigration policies a couple years back. My dad and I cut across a parking lot to get a little further up in the line, and a Trump supporter stopped to talk to us. "Do you just want everyone to flow across the border? Terrorists and all?"
I answer, "Not particularly. There have to be limits somewhere."
"Then why do you want to Abolish ICE?" he asks, about the Immigration and Custom Enforcement service.
"We don't actually want to abolish it. Just reform it, or maybe merge it with another department." I face my sign which reads FREEZE ICE NOW towards him; the reverse says MELT ICE NOW.
"Well, why don't you say that then? That doesn't sound so crazy."
I shrug. "I don't get to pick the slogans."
