    There you go, you compared a legal system to a legal system and not the ten commandments. Good job correcting.

    If someone believes that, i am all for banning them from the US. Name one country that has this as the law of the land.

    You'd be banning most of the evangelical base of the American conservative voting bloc.

    Do a poll question of "should America be governed by God's laws" and see how many of them answer "yes".

    But hey since these evangelicals don't use a Arabic term for it it must not be true I guess:confused:

    Ya dude. You kinda get to being born and raised in Gulf Coast Texas, then spending 5 years in coastal North Carolina in a Marine Corps base.

    But also you can hear the rhetoric of evangelical leaders and politicians who constantly express how America is falling because we aren't implementing God's laws.

    Speaking of stoning and flogging. That reminds me of back when in the military stationed down by Corpus Christi when the local news station took a poll on this whether people would favor this type punishment for crimes. The results were unanimously in favor of it.

    I keep proposing we fine the hell out of people/companies who hire undocumented immigrants. I mean serious fines. If you are a repeat offender you are fined out of business. People would not come here if they can't get jobs. However, no Republican will back my idea.

    Its because the goal for Republicans isn't deportation. Their goal is to creates a class of laborers that aren't beholden to Americans labor regulations where the class of laborers are too scared to speak up out of fear of deportation.

    That's why so many are hypocrites. Hiring an illegal is illegal, right? If you put the illegals in detention camps or deport them, shouldn't the minimum sentence for hiring them be prison? Shouldn't there be far more outrage that some American is paying illegals as employees to make more profit? Or, is it a double standard. Big penalty for the illegal, but not so much for the guy illegally hiring them. Sure, there are laws against it, but make no mistake, the fines don't hurt them like getting thrown in prison for a minimum of 2 years, forcing them to pay to send the illegals back to their home country, and possibly closing down their business if they can't pay the costs to detain and deport the illegals.

    Nope, the big hooplah and excitement over shipping off illegals and criminals seems very one-sided to me. You can't tell me Republican Americans don't hire illegals in any of their businesses, especially those in Texas, Florida, California, and Arkansas. Make no mistake, I believe anyone doing something illegal should be charged, and nobody, including those employers hiring illegals, or committing any illegal acts, should be given preferential treatment because of their ethnicity, status, power, wealth, or political affiliation. I also believe we should give far more immigrants legal avenues to fill the jobs desperately in need of help, when they can't get Americans to fill those jobs. I also believe those who work here legally for two years without commiting any crimes should be afforded a fast track to citizenship.

    There's so much truth in that it's sickening. There was a similar tactic used back during the Dust Bowl, when rich farmers and businesses hired the destitute coming from Texas, Oklahoma, and other states for work. They paid them barely enough to survive, worked them practically to death, and did it because they could. It was inhumane and cruel. Those people were hard working Americans too, taken advantage of during the worst of times. They had only one choice. Survive at the hands of some horrible boss or have their family die of starvation.

    What's the point of sharing that? Nobody even knows what time of the day that was, or if the store was even open, or who that person was posting that. Interesting how she said that after the raids it was the cleanest Walmart she'd ever seen. LOL, did illegals make the store dirty?

    This store could have been in East Texas. In that case would the point be that Trump successfully deported all the white trailer trash??

    I don’t get the wal mart connection. Yes it’s busy and that’s where suburban low income Americans tend to shop. So what… depending on the location it could very well be majority Trump supporters that shop there since Trumps hardcore base is uneducated low income white people. Those folks ain’t shopping at Whole Foods.

    imagine being a illiterate moron that you're cheering on having to pay for his tariffs aka higher prices for goods. "Wow Trump is so cool let me go pay double the cost of my coffee so i can show everyone how much I support him!"
