Glaring missing piece… also holding the right accountable to not wanting to fix immigration courts so they can use the talking points that are literally in your quote. Hold. Both. Parties. Accountable.

Agree. We need an absolute overhaul of the system. But I can’t think of a better use of tax dollars than to secure our borders and deport illegal immigrants.

Reasonable and don’t disagree, but that’s using a solo cup to remove water from a canoe with holes.

You need to fix the processing of legal entry to “efficient” while enforcing border/legal status

Has anyone discussed what gave the agent any legal right at all to run across the street to shove the woman blowing the whistle?

Was she annoying? Yea, but exactly what the hell was she doing illegal? It seems we skipped the part where the first actual illegal action maybe assault by the ICE agent

the Left is never ever going to agree to any type of immigration reform. They’ll just wait until a Democrat is in office and they’ll flood the borders again. But sure, we can keep arguing, “it’s both sides” in the mean time.

---

I didn’t think we were arguing but imo it isn’t really immigration reform. It’s actually backing our immigration courts and system with more resources to operate and enforce our laws

It’s a velocity issue to handle cases, not “let’s be strict or less strict in our system”

you’re not wrong, but what immigration court system in the world can handle 20 million illegal immigrants flooding a country in a 10 year period? We could overhaul the system and pump billions into it, all it takes is another Democrat in office. And we’re back to square one.

The 13,099 immigrants convicted of homicide living in the U.S. may have never had contact with ICE, the two law enforcement officials said. Some may have crossed the border and then been released because Border Patrol lacks information on their criminal history.

---

From your first link. If ICE never has had contact with them how are they on ICE’s docket and how do they know they are in the US? How does ICE have their criminal history but not CBP? They are both under DHS and both use the same background check system from the FBI.

Not saying it’s impossible but that still doesn’t pass the smell test.

I mean, we are likely the only country facing this scale of entry.

Doubt folks are sneaking into China or Russia to make their lives better.

But hell if we can create the greatest military in the world (our 2nd being our allies), I like our chances of creating a more efficient, accurately scaled immigration system

and deporting the millions of illegal immigrants already here? Sounds great, let’s do it. Sounds like everyone should be on board? America, frick yeah. Right?

Count me in

This video popped up on my feed earlier. Very, very different missions obviously, but you can feel the respect for the people around them.

Looking at BP now, the masks/no nametapes, running their mouths, acting like unprofessional thugs... it gets you nowhere in the publics eye. Its exactly why community policing is so big now.

I fully support the deportations, but I dont support the acting out and lack of respect for people they encounter. You have to be above that BS. Especially if you are a fed. They are held to an even higher standard than local boys. If they couldn't hide behind being anonymous, I am sure they would have acted very different from the start.
