I’m just surprised—shadowcat’s thread had 8 replies. Gammanu’s thread had zero replies. I didn’t even notice the posts while skimming the board.

Meanwhile, I remember several weeks (or a couple of months?) ago when there was speculation on whether or not ICE was going to raid a club, that thread back then was pretty lively. If I recall correctly, that was also where @RoxJax got mad at something somebody else posted and he decided he was over posting on this site. I wish I could remember the thread title so I could link back to it.
But now it seems like this is a subject that hardly anybody cares about. This is not a rhetorical statement about anything, I’m just genuinely scratching my head.
On an unrelated note, I thought the club review describing the raid that one guy posted was really well-written. In general, I am suspicious of clubs where all the dancers (as opposed to like maybe half) are Cuban. Mostly because of my experience of seeing managers start acting like pimps at this one club once it became Cuban. But that review was really humanizing, and it made the club seem like a real community there.
Of the 4 Cuban strippers I know well enough to talk of such things, 2 say their citizens. One says she has a green card. The other one is paroled waiting for her green card to come through, with a work permit. They all seem to have cars, and live in states that won't give you a DL unless you are in the US legally. The ICE-stapo is driven by quotas, so it probably works best to target tower wage people, who can't afford to fight deportation as hard in court.
The pimpiest club I've encountered is Miss Kitty's in Illinois near East St. Louis. But it's all US-born black dancers. Otherwise, the management at so-called gentlemen's clubs seems to aggravate dancers the most, but they put up with it to avoid doing extras and for the bigger-spending clients.
@mogul1985 I had the impression a lot of the Cuban dominated clubs are the ones less likely to scan IDs? I had the vibe that the ID scanning companies are outsourced third parties, so I guess it depends on how determined law enforcement is to go after a club. It would probably just be easier to do their raid and make an example of whoever they wanted to? I could be way off though.
Idk, if I was in a country illegally, then I’d have absolutely no interest in letting a customer know that. If I was there legally, I would definitely be vocal that I was there legally if it came up in conversation.

I'm going to get scourged vilely as much as possible while I still can.

Before six months or so ago, nobody felt like they needed to hide being in the US without a visa. Unless they were a criminal.
