Fear mongering is the tits.
You don't think the democrats will open the southern border again if given the chance?
if this administration had been more measured with their approach, it wouldn't even be a discussion point.
I'll ask again, do you think the democrats will keep the border closed if given political power again?
I'll say it again, if this administration had taken a measure approach to deportations, it would not be an option for the democrats to do so.
Besides the point, bands of Muslims aren't going to come in and take over America.
Out of literally millions of deportations you choose to focus on the handful gone wrong.
Are any of the other deportations acceptable to you?
We don't know who is flooding into the country with open borders. Are you saying there is no danger with that?
yes, I expect our Government, whether democracts or republicans are in power to not violate US Citizens constitutional rights, period. So the fact that there were a "handful that went wrong" should not have ever occurred. Just like the policy of the last administration shouldn't have occurred. So now, it's just going to be this revolving door of populists changes to immigration policy every 4-8 years.
You reap what you sow.
What about the rights of the U.S. citizens already here? What the the rights of the U.S. citizens killed or injured by illegals?
To pontificate as the voice of reason you sure seem to look at this but from one point of view.
There must be an alternative reason to your opinion. One you are not telling us about and I think I know what it is.
Everything has a cost, and the juice of mass deportations on the scale you want isn't worth the squeeze, given the cost and also the economic benefits conveyed by immigrants working in the US.
We could save tens of thousands of lives by lowering the speed limit, or reducing the legal BAL to drive, or by implementing traffic cameras nationwide and aggressively enforcing speeding laws already on the books, or requiring and enforcing helmet laws, but we don't because we want the convenience or freedom of the status quo.
A path to citizenship lets established immigrants keep working, paying taxes, and supporting businesses. It also keeps families together and recognizes the roots people have built here, including parents of American children.
Mass deportations are very inefficient, cost billions, and disrupt employers and communities.
Requiring background checks, tax compliance, and a structured application process is economically advantageous and a reasonable balance of compassion and accountability.
