It's not as easy as you think to have that sort of migration. They'd need to get new jobs and risk all the things along the way, and then have to register/sign up for new stuff and, again, increase the risk of being caught.


I doubt you have been around many illegals throughout the years. I have because I am in construction and everything you described is of no concern. They will load up a truck and switch states in a heartbeat.

The real question is why is New Mexico so low on that chart?

This is why the feds should be focusing on these areas instead of areas of resistance like MN.

If you want to maximize the number of ICE detentions/deportations, this is the intelligent strategy.

Focusing on places like MN indicates a strategy other than maximizing the detentions and deportations.
While that may marginally increase the numbers of detentions/deportations, at this point it would also embolden these nutjobs to ramp up this type activity in other locations.

This is not a grassroots opposition, but rather a paid opposition. If it is seen as effective, more money and resources will be dedicated to replicating it in other locations.

Not even Mexicans want to live in NM

No work there. They come here chasing work. It's why Lake Charles has a large Honduran population

That would entail leaving ICE agents, who are permanently based in MSP, alone with an angry populace.

Would you say they would remain safe? Would you say they cease activities they have been performing for 3 decades now and move them elsewhere?

Sorry, I didn't think the illegals were abusing our generous social safety net.

Years ago, when a new law in Alabama went into effect, the whole population of illegals left the state. SFP acting like illegals won't drop everything and move is naive.

No it's my suggestion for a more rational and efficient policy strategy.


I have asked multiple times: what is your more rational strategy? When are you going to comment on walz and Frey telling the feds to pound sand and that immigration law won’t be enforced in Minnesota?

Aren’t you some hyper-principled “no one is above the law” type? Why do you only want to enforce the law in TX and FL now?

And?

The point is removing resources from inefficient locations (MN) and putting them in areas where they are operating currently with more efficiency.

Again, my argument implies they are operating all over, with data on the locations where the feds are getting the best results. That was baked into my comment.

You just don't read good

The comment is the more rational version of Trump's policy

If you mean changing the policy, focusing on criminals and employers and focusing on areas where local LEO will cooperate is a much smarter strategy with a vastly decreased chance of conflict.

That isn't the argument. That's a straw man.

It's a different climate right now with federal enforcement.
