if anybody breaks the law then they should be charged accordingly
that's what being treated equally means
I am taking about illegal immigrants who engage in drug or violent crime.Earlier you said that criminals should be deported. Every illegal immigrant is a criminal.
It is your opinion that I should be able to take up residence in any country on the planet illegally and be given a pathway to citizenship?
Families don't have to be ripped apart. They can all be deported together.
There is room for compromise.
Are you saying that from today forward, all new illegals should be deported?
Apart from Michigan do you have anything to say about all the other swing states Trump won?
I am taking about illegal immigrants who engage in drug or violent crime.
Simply being present without papers is not what am referring to.
Many of these families are US citizens.
The children are born here and their spouses could be US citizens.
So yes, you would rip apart families if you engage in mass deportations.
Improving border security and fixing the legal immigration system should help reduce illegal immigration.
It will never be zero. But you can reduce it.
If someone is a recent illegal immigrant or have overstayed the visa, then a removal order is not wrong as they wouldn't have had time to put down roots.
But the 11M+ who are already here, need to be treated with compassion.
What is done is done. Look forward and remove the criminal ones and let the others live their lives.
again, forest for the treesYou guys don't feel like it's dehumanizing?

By the way, I love her so much too.
That people dont have freedom at all in China is a Western myth designed to malign the nation as it is an economic rival.
I agree there are human rights abuses committed by the Chinese government.
But western nations do it too.
Perhaps a bit less than China, but abuse is abuse.
This is where the discussion should have come to a full stopWithout freedoms there can be no economic success.
WrongThe Soviet Union is a good example of this.
They left behind economic ruin.
China is not in this category.
Again, no it does notThe fact there is economic success means there is freedom.
WTF ???May be not the freedoms of expression we have, but their people are okay with it.
So for all intents and purposes, China is a resounding and emphatic success story.
just like to point out that
1. I am not angry at all
2. the only person that mentioned "hate" is you
3. the only person that mentioned "violence and segregation" is also you
but in order to offer an olive branch to you
I suggest that we all see ourselves first as human beings and take care of one another first
if any goverment can't solve basic issues of homelessness or hunger for all it's citizens
then they have no right to bring up more complex issues of different individual groups
absolutelyThis thread is 'IN YOUR FACE LEFTIES...."
You really declaring that right wingers are civil?
So generally illegal immigrants commit less crime than citizens.How about an illegal that has been in the USA for decades then commits robbery or murder. Should they be deported or do they get to stay because they've "planted roots"?
absolutely
payback is a bitch, isn't it
we are just finally saying ENOUGH !
sorry it offends you
It wont.You can physically secure a border all you want, but if policy exists that allow illegals to circumvent the law such as 'parole in place' then you only incentivize more illegal immigration.
Trump is the president againYou've been saying the same thing for years, how is this different?
So generally illegal immigrants commit less crime than citizens.
Native born Americans, followed by illegal immigrants, followed by legal immigrants - order of criminality.
However a substantial number of Americans think immigration and crime are related.
So the longer they stay, the less likely they are to commit crime.
If it does happen, then it should be considered along humanitarian grounds to see if they have roots, families etc.,
And if there were no people at all in the country then there would be 0 crime.Irrelevant. If there were no illegal immigrants, they'd commit ZERO crime.
If an illegal commits murder, they should be deported, regardless of time spent living illegally in the country.
Your argument is essentially... 'the longer you've been breaking the law, the better the chances of you staying.'
Do you see the incentive this creates?
But you are! Deporting people who pays taxes and made their life here withoutbeing criminal,
women are being bullied online with "your body, my choice" litteraly everywhere,
I do not hate trans or lgbtq,trans and lgbtq are scared to walk in the street so yes, absolutely can we leave the hate aside?!
And if there were no people at all in the country then there would be 0 crime.
That does not work for an argument.
People and crime go together regardless of their status. We have to accept this.
The longer they stay the less likely they are to commit crime.
The lack of a piece of paper authorizing their presence is not such a big deal that you should engage in human rights abuses via mass deportations.
You are advocating for this despite not being affected by illegal immigrants.
This is the problem with this policy.
It drums up hatred when there is no need for it and ends up actually materializing into human rights abuses.
if you enter the country illegally you are a criminal
illegal should be self explanatory
boarders need to be secure
beside you are not treating those that legally apply equally by permitting illegal entry
Equal is not just equal when it is convenient
Which is why you strengthen border security and fix the immigration system to reduce illegal immigration.This isn't a rebuttal. It makes no sense. There is no country if there are no people.
But we don't have to accept illegal immigrants. If they cannot stay, they cannot commit crime whether they're here for a day or decades.
Nobody has a right to citizenship in another country by illegally crossing its border.
This is not a human rights issue. It's an issue of national sovereignty, security, and the rights, freedoms, and protections of citizens.
The crime, the devaluing of wages, and the culture of illegal immigrants impact everyone.
The cow farmer doesn't think that cow manure is affecting anyone and he doesn't even smell it. But everyone else far enough from his farm can smell the cow shit on him when he comes to visit.
You're the farmer. You're impacted without knowing it.
They tried this and were called racists for it. That was the real issue. Then Biden opened everything up.Which is why you strengthen border security and fix the immigration system to reduce illegal immigration.
And deport anyone in the future.
But with the already present 11M, you deport the criminal ones and give a path to citizenship for the rest.
It is the most practical solution that benefits the state while avoiding a human rights crisis.
Illegal immigrants do jobs that Americans wont do or do not want to do.
So devaluing of wages is not an issue.
