So, you assume they're all criminals.
Yes, according to our laws, they are criminals.
That is why our law enforcement deports them.
Gangs, Kidnapping, Drug distribution, bank robbery, fraud, assault, international warrants, ISIS members, sex offenses ....
I'm curious how you can think that this statement is loving and not hateful, Lovenothate. The definition of hate is "feel intense or passionate dislike for (someone)," which you obviously do for people coming from Mexico who can't afford to take the time or pay the money to do it the way that our government demands. The vast majority of them are actually trying to escape the things that you name in your list, not bring them here.
Why would you defend people who harm others, harm communities, bring drugs into our communities, break our laws, disrespect our country?
"Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it
arrested about 159,000 foreigners during the 2018 fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, an increase of 11 percent from the previous year".
"About 90 percent of the people arrested had criminal convictions, were facing pending criminal charges or had been previously issued a final deportation order by an immigration judge"
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/14/us/p ... -rise.htmlAgain with the blanket statements. 90% of 159,000 is 143,000. That's out of the estimated 10.7 MILLION undocumented immigrants that are here (
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/27/us/i ... study.html). That's a tiny fraction of the population. The vast majority of them are here to work, not to commit crimes. Get a dose of reality. Live up to your username, or don't use it at all.
As I said in my original post, Trump deports a couple hundred thousand criminal illegal aliens in his first two years.
Everyone agrees that's a positive. Trump famously said he's targeting the "bad hombres" (people who pose a danger to others).
That's why arrests are only 159,000 and not millions.
That's also why "About
90 percent of the people arrested had criminal convictions, were facing pending criminal charges or had been previously issued a final deportation order by an immigration judge"
These are the "bad hombres".
Your comments like "get dose on reality" and "live up to your username" are both personal attacks.
They reflect poorly on you.
Those are not personal attacks, they are commonsense suggestions if you want people to take you seriously.
. Using that username to advocate for policies that attack a huge group of people based on things that only a tiny percentage of them have done makes me sad, and even sadder that you choose not to recognize it when called out on it.
