Sorry, but the Democrat Party in virtually its entirety supports illegal immigration by hampering enforcement and demonizing proponents of enforcement. And yes, business owners who support illegal immigration need to be strung up as well.

Yet more people have been deported under Obama than ever were under Bush. The GOP is just keeping the issue alive because they know they have to compromise and its easier to say “secure the border first” over and over than address the problem. Because they know they can’t deport all 11 million illegal immigrants.

Please, tell me more about how serious the Democrats and Obama are about stopping illegal immigration when they won't even call it by its name: ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. What a fucking joke. Democrats have zero credibility on the issue (not that RINO's are much better).

I know, the name is really important. That is what we should be arguing about. No solving the problem. The main problem is that the GOP can't pander to their anti any form of immigration base and Hispanic citizens at the same time. They have to say they are going to deport everyone, even though they know it will never happen.

Maybe the point of friction is that ILLEGAL people are actually still human beings no matter what kind of label you assign to them? Don't you think it's a little ridiculous to go full Judge Dredd on someone just because you declare them to be non persons?

Freudian slip?


The problem is, your sovereign nation state destroys a lot of shit in other sovereign nation states, often times undermining their sovereignty. Incidentally, it is from these nation states that many of those paralegal immigrants come.

I am almost positive if push came to shove we could find 90% of the illegal immigrants and deport them over the course of several months but such an action would also without question cause a massive recession. So doing it before congresses actually comes up with a way to get the people we need into this country in a much faster manner then we are forced to rely on the status quo to fill those jobs which while horrible is the best option that does not involve waiting on congress which is like waiting on a snail to finish a marathon.

EDIT: Hell, Democrats aren't even honest enough to call illegal immigration what it is: ILLEGAL. They contort themselves so badly to pander to Hispanics that they refer to illegal aliens as undocumented workers. It's sheer madness.

Democrats don't collectively share in the same immigration platform and like plansix pointed out, enforcement under Democrats is by no means "hampered" generally speaking. That is unless you also meant "enforcement" to include the state tolerated gangs of vigilante immigrant hunters who roam large segments of the border looking to catch other people like animals. In that case, yes, Democrats attempt to hamper enforcement, that much is true

As for the terminology issue, I guess it's not exactly surprising that you'd single out the words being used instead of the substance of the thing being discussed. That liberals and conservatives use different words to describe the same thing ought surprise no one. The PC police are at work yet again, that my be true, but as the skin color of the average American grows ever darker, it'd probably be a good idea to learn how to talk to each other using words that don't immediately bring out the worst in everyone.

Of course we could deport them all. We've done it before (Operation Wetback).

Yes, please tell me more about how serious democrats are with enforcement of illegal immigration laws. It's a wonder that the border patrol supports Trump over them!

Like the sole summary sentence on the wikipedia page says, "The economic impact of illegal immigrants in the United States is challenging to measure and politically contentious.

Legalizing them would cost more than deportation & the wall combined.
The overwhelming majority of illegal immigrants have modest levels of education; therefore, the high use of welfare associated with less-educated legal immigrants indicates that legalization would likely increase welfare costs, particularly for cash and housing programs.

Restrictions on new legal immigrants’ access to welfare have not prevented them from accessing programs at high rates because restrictions often apply to only a modest share of immigrants at any one time, some programs are not restricted, there are numerous exceptions and exemptions, and some provisions are entirely unenforced. Equally important, immigrants, including those illegally in the country, can receive welfare on behalf of their U.S.-born children.

Sorry, but the Democrat Party in virtually its entirety supports illegal immigration by hampering enforcement and demonizing proponents of enforcement. And yes, business owners who support illegal immigration need to be strung up as well.

Yet more people have been deported under Obama than ever were under Bush. The GOP is just keeping the issue alive because they know they have to compromise and its easier to say “secure the border first” over and over than address the problem. Because they know they can’t deport all 11 million illegal immigrants.

Please, tell me more about how serious the Democrats and Obama are about stopping illegal immigration when they won't even call it by its name: ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. What a fucking joke. Democrats have zero credibility on the issue (not that RINO's are much better).


Maybe the point of friction is that ILLEGAL people are actually still human beings no matter what kind of label you assign to them? Don't you think it's a little ridiculous to go full Judge Dredd on someone just because you declare them to be non persons?

We aren't a sovereign nation state. Not a fucking charity.


I am almost positive if push came to shove we could find 90% of the illegal immigrants and deport them over the course of several months but such an action would also without question cause a massive recession. So doing it before congresses actually comes up with a way to get the people we need into this country in a much faster manner then we are forced to rely on the status quo to fill those jobs which while horrible is the best option that does not involve waiting on congress which is like waiting on a snail to finish a marathon.

re: clearing out illegals
it's certainly possible; but to do so while respecting civil liberties might not be. Just like it's not so easy to find and arrest all the more typical criminals. It's also an awful lot of people to move.

EDIT: Hell, Democrats aren't even honest enough to call illegal immigration what it is: ILLEGAL. They contort themselves so badly to pander to Hispanics that they refer to illegal aliens as undocumented workers. It's sheer madness.

Democrats don't collectively share in the same immigration platform and like plansix pointed out, enforcement under Democrats is by no means "hampered" generally speaking. That is unless you also meant "enforcement" to include the state tolerated gangs of vigilante immigrant hunters who roam large segments of the border looking to catch other people like animals. In that case, yes, Democrats attempt to hamper enforcement, that much is true

As for the terminology issue, I guess it's not exactly surprising that you'd single out the words being used instead of the substance of the thing being discussed. That liberals and conservatives use different words to describe the same thing ought surprise no one.

Yes, please tell me more about how serious democrats are with enforcement of illegal immigration laws. It's a wonder that the border patrol supports Trump over them!

Are you really pointing to the opinions of a group whose very livelihood depends on the vigorous implementation and enforcement of a particular legal scheme as evidence that vigorous enforcement of said legal scheme is a net positive?

Objection, bias, your honor.

Overruled. Patriots before law breakers.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

The original Patriots broke the law, so that rule does not apply.

Excellent, now get that printed on a t-shirt and go stump for Trump already. You'd fit right in
