    Tell me if Laken/Joycelyn/Kate's etc... families lives were disrupted. Get all of the illegals out and yes, there will be mistakes made and then let people who we actually need in this country in this country.

    If this is the best you can do then you know you're losing the debate.

    I'm not a fan of diddlers.... are you? Par the course for your kind, sticking up for each other.

    You haven't replied to my previous comment dismantling your poor argument so I assumed you already lost.... You were arguing how less consumers and less demand was actually a good thing.

    It just seems less like deporting American citizens and more like young minor children staying with their mothers who are being deported, absent evidence to the contrary.

    LMAO, there's no proof at this time. As much as you wish there was. I find it hilarious that you change topics more often than you probably change your underwear.

    I was just commenting on your post to another poster, not arguing with you. Surely you can tell the difference? I guess not.

    And yet still haven't replied to my post directed at your comments in regards to illegal immigration.

    You want less people, less consumers, and less demand.

    Exclusive: Guatemalan document undercuts U.S. claims on child deportations

    The same folks that want to post the 10 commandments in every classroom sure do bear false witness quite a bit....

    I don't know why you quoted my post when linking this article. I was discussing citizen children whose mother was being deported (also younger in most cases). That article is about children that were sent alone to the US and illegally immigrating being deported because they were illegal immigrants (and the admin putting spin on it that they were reuniting them with their families). Of course the families wanted these minors to stay in America, they sent them to sneak into America by themselves in the first place. These are also older minors, 10-17 versus 2-10. Sending a 17-year-old to go sneak into America (and presumably get the family over later), though I wouldn't recommend it, is a much more reasonable plan than leaving your 2-year-old behind when you are deported.

    I've already said that the services we provide don't offset what the 20 million illegals are paying into the system.

    Absolutely, murder victims have it worse than the 4-year-old with cancer. That is something their individual murderers did, and we have a whole justice system to find and punish those individuals. What you're proposing by bringing up those murders is a sort of collective punishment where we blame the illegal immigrant population for the crimes of particular people. I'd say the crimes are irrelevant to the question of illegal immigration. The argument that they couldn't murder if they weren't here is a bit ridiculous because (a) even with great enforcement, some illegals will manage to remain, and (b) murders by citizens will still happen. It is a different proposition for the 4 year old citizen. He isn't harmed by one individual committing an illegal act that will be punished. He is harmed by the US government, with impunity, which by the way makes us as citizens and voters complicit in his harm.

    Could be. If there was a court proceeding, maybe we would have that information.

    Nutlick agrees with you:

    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/howa...2hL4I59yl5ovvynEX2J1ofdajQl5iPJlp3ECSLUch-fUd

    "The army of millions and millions of human beings screwing in little screws to make iPhones — that kind of thing is going to come to America," Lutnick said.

    But Trump disagrees with you:

    https://www.aol.com/trump-hispanic-farm-workers-don-161615495.html

    Donald Trump has raised eyebrows with comments he made about farm laborers during a phone interview with CNBC.

    The President spoke on Tuesday, 5 August 2025, explaining his belief that deported immigrant farm employees are not easy to replace with native-born workers.

    Farmers have been left short of staff due to the Trump administration’s ICE round-ups of undocumented migrants.

    Trump suggested people who live “in the inner city” are “not doing that [farm] work” but Hispanic migrants do it “naturally”.
    He then launched into a story about a conversation he had once had with a farmer.

    Trump says he asked, "What happens if they get a bad back?" to which the farmer allegedly responded, "They don't get a bad back, sir, because if they get a bad back, they die".



    Regardless, we've tried this before. Americans won't work these jobs.

    These people in a little skiff who are trying to get from Country A to Country B, for a better life? In international waters, let's not interdict them like the US Navy has always done....let's unleash a Hellfire Missile from a drone and kill them all....just in case they *might* be carrying drugs?

    https://www.reuters.com/world/ameri...ed-drug-boat-venezuela-trump-says-2025-09-03/

    "We just, over the last few minutes, literally shot out a boat, a drug-carrying boat, a lot of drugs in that boat," Trump told reporters at the White House.

    "And there's more where that came from. We have a lot of drugs pouring into our country, coming in for a long time ... These came out of Venezuela."

    "The strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action. No U.S. Forces were harmed in this strike," Trump said.

    According to the right wing boomers @Corrosion @Commodore @ROXRAN mass deportations would open lots of new jobs cuz poor mexicans were stealing everyone's jobs?

    Weird how we've had the worst job numbers in over a decade while deporting more people than ever before....?

    Its almost as if the right wing boomers were brainwashed by RW media ?

    Hundreds of workers at a factory being built in Georgia to make car batteries for Hyundai and Kia electric vehicles were detained in a massive raid by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) on Thursday that stopped construction.

    The facility is part of what would be the biggest industrial investment in the state’s history and had been hailed as a huge boost for the economy by Georgia’s Republican governor, Brian Kemp.

    A clear indicator of a dysfunctional system (and a racist agenda).

    Given Korea's massive recent US investments, I don't think Trump would have greenlit this raid. More egg on face in international arena.
