re: A quote by Kiana Danial that I tend to agree with regarding the state of affairs today

Have you noticed how popular Mamdani and AOC are on the left? They highly praise Democrats socialist of America. If you get time go to Democrat socialists of America's website and read their constitution.

That could be true but no one here advocates for communism.

Not quite an answer. You equate borders and immigration processes and laws and procedural rules with "because I said so"?

Power, this is what she’s doing.

Now ask yourself if your post to her was rational.

I can see your posts ya know

150 kids were absent from my kids school. We can reasonably conclude their parents aren’t all violent criminals.

---

But we can assume they were all absent because their parents were deported?

Any criminal illegal should be deported. Violent or not. The rest should self deport and get in line with actual law abiding people

You just went on to say you want some option for those here illegally to stay because they're good/nice/etc.

So regardless, the same applies. "Just let it go this time and next time we'll enforce the rules, promise."

Make the case for why conservatives should hop on board with that Lucy football scenario?

Of course not. There weren’t that many arrests. I assume they were absent because their parents were afraid the kids would get picked up or the parents would get picked up bringing them to school.

FYI

No one discussing this topic in good faith uses that dishonest propaganda term.

When it's so left wing insane that the AP doesn't allow it to be used on their wire, you should know you need to abandon it.

Interestingly, we make them serve their sentences in the US before deportation (or at least we used to, that could have changed).

It was pitched as deporting violent criminals

---

I believe the overall pitch was them first. Although I recognize that there was definitely some bad faith messaging out there, possibly even from the admin itself, that painted it as mostly criminals. I think there was enough out there to fully realize it was all of them, though. I certainly took it as all of them.

The day after ICE got to New Orleans, 150 kids were absent from my kids school. We can reasonably conclude their parents aren’t all violent criminals.

Of course. Odds would say a sample of 150 students don’t have many violent criminal parents.

Securing the borders has been accomplished

For how long?

And how do you think a Democrat opening it back up should be handled? If the left does that to us again, what would you be ok with the right doing in response?

quote:

I would like to see an option other than deportation for undocumented people who are here and are abiding by laws and are contributing to society.

Let’s talk

In this hypothetical, I would like for the ones we let stay to be pretty damn close to self sufficient. Is that something you could get behind? This invariably means that a family fully on the take and illegal would be deported.
