    You are clearly not wrong. However, the question I would return with: if not violence, what mechanism for change will actually move a lever?

    I’m certainly at my most pessimistic moment, but sincerely I don’t see how this changes for your countrymen at this point without violence…? What realistic compromise could we even draw up? The two sides are diametrically opposed. There isn’t common ground because there isn’t even a common reality. The legal system seems righed and there is no leadership. You have touched on some of these points yourself.

    I’ll take a try at what a compromise might look like:

    – Trump agrees to go door to door with Minnesota Police. This gurantees:

    1. The process is done slowly and unchaotically. This is what MN wants.
    2. Every single address is searched and the potential for immigrant removal is near 100%. This is what Trump wants.

    This solution would save lives, but also give up significant civil liberties. It’s the best I can think up. Hopefully you are more creative than I am.

    My last comment: I too have a family. And many extended family. And friends across Canada. It is on behalf of these people that I’m so passionate. And I can also appreciate your concerns also because of these same people. These are two sides of the same coin.
