The way ICE and border patrol are acting isn't really new, it's just on a bigger scale now.

Way back in like 2003, they stopped me and my friends on our way through Texas. We were just kids on a road trip, but they questioned my Chinese American friend about his citizenship, interrogated us about being drug smugglers, got us all out of my car, and threw all of our stuff all over the pavement.

One of the agents joked about shooting my friend because he had a pocketknife clipped to his belt.

The arrogance and contempt they are showing for people now is how they've been for a long time.
