The founding fathers fought a war against a superpower for that dream. Feel free to start another one if you’d like because that’s what it would take.

Son, I have a lifetime of experience. I don’t need your college books to tell me that your libertarian fantasy is no different than the communist fantasy. Y’all want a utopia of rainbow farts and unicorns but don’t want to face reality of facts.

You're right nobody should read when they're alive. Good point

Do you do you own research occasionally? Not that I mind. But it's strange you would ask instead of looking it up yourself.



I did Google and couldn't find this info easily. I did not dig very deep, so I will accept the roast.

Bottomline, millions remain here atop the number who were here before their arrival. Hence the need for extra ICE agents.



Fair enough.

ust look at New York City, they were putting the illegals up in hotels at several hundred dollars a night. At $200 a night, that is 6000 for ONE MONTH.


And the federal government paid for this? Maybe some federal dollars were used, but the majority of this funding came from NY taxpayers.

I'm not emotional about this at all. People aggressively responding using hostile language, such as yourself, are clearly very emotional about this.

American tax dollars paid for it, regardless of who collected those taxes. Had those illegals not been here money could have been used elsewhere.

Sorry no one wants to read your college academic books, that have no basis in reality. Like I said, you are no different than the communist professors pushing Marx: fantasyland academic theories that are void of reality.

When you grow up and get a real job, maybe you’ll get it. Some of us grew out of our libertarian phase once we had to live in reality and not a college dorm

Look at the number of illegals that are already confirmed to be here. You'll be surprised to learn that it's over 30,000,000 or almost 10% of the US population.

That's why. You need a big arse force and budget to deport them.

To remove some of the criminals that your idols let in.

Why do you want innocent citizens to become victims?

First thing that popped into my head when I read the OP was the picture of AOC pretending to cry in front of the cages Obama put people in.

This funding would prevent more of these theatrics around the process, which is a solid move.

Of course, the obvious answer is also the fact that Democrats purposely allowed 10-15M people in (that we know of), especially during a time when our country was supposedly shut down from a deadly virus. We allowed unmasked, unvetted, people to just roll in, and garner more freedoms and free money than US citizens were allowed at that time.

An OP like this one isn't really needed, but it is fun to watch the dishonesty play out over several pages.

Not a "roast" in the least. I appreciate that you searched.

There are lazy, self-entitled, and/or stupid folks here expecting others to do research which they can then refute. You don't come across to me as lazy, self-entitled, and/or stupid, so it was a straightforward question.

You think we don't need ICE if nobody was crossing the border, when there are tens of millions of illegal aliens in the country??? Your logic is illogical.

That money is being spent by this administration to fix the shite (once again) that the Biden administration screwed up.

Are you really this extremely ignorant or incredibly uninformed? MAYBE, to REMOVE the 10's of millions Biden allowed to invade this country in the last 4 years alone?

Because it costs a shite ton and requires a shite ton of resources and people to round up and deport the tens of millions of illegals the last administration you voted for allowed to invade our country. F uck you.
