I mean if they still had to undergo citizenship protocol and get ID, sure. I take issue with people coming in whenever they want when there are people who are waiting to become citizens the legal way. I also believe we have actual citizens of this country that are struggling, homeless, dealing with poverty, etc. and we should focus on helping them instead of just letting unlimited people come in and make things worse with things like public services (like housing) and economics.
Right, but reentering after being deported is a felony. Also, once again these “camps” were a thing with Obama and it didn’t really seem like a concern back then. Also just a side, splitting up families is I think your way of bringing up legal children to illegal parents. It is important to mention that the parents have the choice to leave their child in the country with a caretaker/family or just take them with them. Nobody is really forcing them to split up.
if you follow any kind of abrahamic faith, remember that you’re supposed to help the poor, the needy, and treat foreigners with hospitality. if you’re Christian, you’re supposed to love thy neighbor. at the end of the day, we will all answer to God, and we will all be answering as individuals
if you’re agnostic the point still kind of stands. at the end of your life, you’ll very likely have an NDE and life review. we know through research that at the end, people look at how they treated others throughout their life. other aspect like career or status doesn’t appear to matter. if you follow a path of hate, your last moments probably wont be very peaceful. hate quite literally is a disease
Well I’m sorry but being anti illegal immigration doesn’t define me as a hateful person. My life value doesn’t and won’t hinge on one stance. You don’t know what I’ve done or accomplished in life or the effort I’ve put into being a good person. And the simple fact is that no person on this earth is free from some type of badness whatever it may be, physical, philosophical, or otherwise.
With the amount of people trying to immigrate here being the highest in the US compared to all other countries, yes, things are going to be different. IMO there’s nothing wrong with wanting to be aware of and documenting/vetting who these people are when they enter. Deportation also isn’t just an American thing, it’s a practice across the world. Oh and also I never said they committed more crime than legal citizens so idk where you’re pulling that from but ok.
yeah i dont know anything about you, that’s why my original comment about God and my follow up are written to address this concept generally, and aimed to be informative to anyone reading. i will say that our society is already heading down a bad path. before america started heading down the road of fascism, we were already an individualistic and selfish society compared to others around the globe. now we’re losing our empathy too. personally, i wouldn’t wanna be apart of that trend
deporting people to random countries is wrong. sending people to for-profit, prison company owned detention camps is wrong. guantanamo and alcatraz was wrong. deporting people to death camps is wrong. sending civilian-clothes law enforcement to stores, schools, and churches to round up innocent people is wrong. building an economy that relies on immigration, to then punish the immigrants boosting your economy is wrong
Oh I never said that I agree with everything that these past presidents have done that treat illegal immigrants as less than. I certainly don’t agree with inhumane tactics but I can also at the same time still not want just anybody given access to this country especially when there are people waiting in line & we already have so many citizens struggling. There are politicians who think it’s ok to just ditch deportation efforts all together & just let people do whatever. That is what I’m against.
By your words and logic you’re saying that someone would just show up and come into the country without needing any background check or proof of identity and just come in without resistance… wouldn’t that be the same as coming illegally. What “law” is being upheld then? I don’t really see what you’re getting at.
