    It isn't putting Due Process over the safety of legal citizens though. You can provide Due Process and protect US citizens. Also, the overwhelming majority of illegal aliens are not violent criminals, indeed most of them are women and children. The crime rate for illegal aliens in the USA is lower than the crime rate for legal citizens. Also - ICE was active arresting violent criminals illegally in the US in large numbers for a long time.

    The periods of the highest crime rate in the USA doesn't even correspond with the periods of the highest violent crime.

    There are Constitutional - legal methods to deport illegal aliens in the USA.

    There is no way to know exactly how many total illegal aliens that there are in the USA. However, most estimates have there being approximately the same number in the USA as almost twenty years ago. Globalist agendas? I don't know what you mean by that, but illegal aliens have been allowed in the USA in high numbers for many decades - in part because they provide an ample work force for lower level jobs, because they are considered net positives with economic growth as well.

    The world changes with time - we are never in the foreseeable future going back to a strongly restricted economy, and if we do - based on history, we will see our economy shrink.

    Are you saying that allowing an estimated 10 million illegals this year hasn't inflated these numbers and this isn't me talking this is Ortiz saying this.

    We need to bring jobs home, stop giving money that we dont have to foreign countries and start making things in this country again. The fact that most drugs are made in China should be an issue for everyone. All of what I listed can be done.

    All true, but 1 death at the hands of a person who shouldn't be here is too many. Get them all the F out. If your life has been touched by this I'm sure you would feel differently.

    No one is in danger?

    Ask Laken Riley's family/Kate Steinle's/Jocelyn N/That poor lady in Illinois if this post is true and yes tackling the debt is the 2nd thing that needs to be done after cleaning out all of the illegals. Report me if you wish.

    Yeah letting ILLEGALS in the country and having them kill people is really showing where your soul is at.

    All things that have been parroted for years and the reason we're having the issues we're having now. Really simple Follow the laws and deport them. It's what 77 million people voted for and we as a country will deal with the issues you've brought up. BTW, I'm all for legal immigration.

    Voicing real concerns isn't "parroting something" especially when you didn't address any part of that "something".

    Removing millions of low wage laborers from the work pool will have consequences. Waving that away with "we'll solve it later" isn't a solution. We don't have enough people to replace every illegal immigrant's job at a 1:1 ratio and that work doesn't pay enough to attract American talent. The impact would be incredibly inflationary and necessitate large-scale lifestyle changes for millions of Americans.

    Part of the price we have to pay.

    Yes people have been saying the things you've been saying since the late 70's/early 80's. Time to do something different, even if it costs money.

    These people just talk a big game on the internet @raining threes . I guarantee you that if you confronted these people in real life you'd laugh at how they come across. They'd never act tough in real life

    Its sincerely hilarious how these people talk about "globalist agenda" when in reality Trump has hired undocumented workers for decades now. All the GOP billionaires including our own Tilman Fertitta has hired undocumented workers.

    MAGATs think its some crazy conspiracy when in reality capitalism requires low wage workers like illegals to keep the system going.

    Good grief, every 30 minutes someone is murdered in this country and my guess is that most of those murders are by Americans. It's strange though how whenever the murderer is an illegal the victim's face is put on shirts by the GOP, they cry out in outrage, and then people like you assume it's the illegals killing everyone.

    Its always the same low iq garbage from cultists @raining threes . Biden admin did not pay for anyone to fly into country. The CBP one app that allowed individuals to fly into the country had to have a financial sponsor who was a US citizen and the individuals had to pay for their own flights

    @HP3 these people are sincerely garbage. They have nothing but lies and disinformation. I wish it was different but its the reality

    I literally included that context in the post you quoted when I said: "because he didn't want there to be a shortage of PPE for health care workers." You couldn't be bothered to read a two sentence post, but accused me of not watching a video I posted.
