@OakenshieldVGX@GeorgeTakei It's vastly more complicated than that. What happens when someone's paperwork is unclear? What happens when the massive task force required starts abusing immigrants, and harassing legal immigrants for information on undocumented immigrants?
@ColdAsIceWeiss @RBReich Are you being intentionally dumb? Immigrants disproportionately make up construction workers, deporting them decreases the labor available for housing, driving up the cost of new construction.
@Paulie927@ExistentialEnso @revhowardarson I'd bet if he was a registered democrat they wouldn't shut up about it. It was an unstable kid with access to guns, difficult to pin the blame when a central thesis of your party is easy access to guns.
@BrianTree14@krt79picks@geerts94147@umairh Make avenues for legal immigration! I'm screaming into a brick wall at this point. The "process" is insane and has far too low a limit. It should be _easy_ to immigrate to America
@BrianTree14@krt79picks@geerts94147@umairh So vet them? You people seem open to legal immigration on the surface so your argument against undocumented immigration doesn't seem racist, but then you shut down every avenue of legal immigration.
@jtlefevers@krt79picks@geerts94147@umairh Yes, I'm the one, sure. Not you, the smart anti immigrant person. Geeze, how did you get so smart? Was it advanced schooling or something that taught you racism?
@krt79picks@geerts94147@umairh It actually is fucking rocket science, mixed with lottery. Do you think it's actually easy to become a citizen? Like you just apply and take a test? It takes far above average grit and intelligence, asking with a lot of luck
@BrianTree14@krt79picks@geerts94147@umairh No, look up the numbers. Undocumented immigrants have lower rates of crime than even natural born citizens. It makes sense if you spend two minutes thinking about it instead of being xenophobic.
