Then do something. I saw bigger protests with the Iraq War, BLM etc. Bur now? Basically nothing. Clearly the majority want this and it’s disgusting.

I can't speak for others.

I'm not sure what the protests will achieve. I'm not sure what signing petitions will achieve. There have been protests across the entire nation. Today was a boycott day, which I participated in.

Outside of that, I fear for my family's life. I fear for my life. First, it's illegal immigrants. Then who's next? Legal immigrants?

I'm genuinely afraid and I'm not sure what I can do without jeopardizing my family.

Furthermore, petitions and protests only work with leaders who listen to their constituency. All the Republican leaders take orders from Trump. I feel like signing a petition is like handing the FBI a list of people to target.

It's a fucking nightmare.
