Also when you ask people to design their ideal immigration policy, with the exception of a handful of psychotic zero immigration sorts, it inevitably ends up far to the left of anything since Reagan's amnesty. People have zero idea of how fucked up and restrictive American immigration policy is.

Cancelled and they did ask me if it was about ICE and I said yes. Not the hugest traveler but I used Hilton often. Every person who calls, no matter how small their hotels counts. They will be having panicked meetings this week if the trickle turns into a flood.
It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
