@BK_McCallum@allenanalysis If there is no fear or intimidation, it is not bank robbery. The law says that.
Border crossing is usually treated as a civil issue, not a criminal one.
Law enforcement includes discretion.
“Deport them before they have kids” is about making harm easier, not enforcing rules.
@BK_McCallum@allenanalysis The law already rejects your analogy.
Bank robbery is a felony because it uses threat and fear.
Time in a country is not a prize. It creates families and obligations whether you approve or not.
“Deport before they have kids” is punishment for existence, not law enforcement.
@BK_McCallum@allenanalysis Robbing a bank is a violent felony with victims. Crossing a border is usually a civil violation, often driven by survival. There is no magical line many people can wait in.
Punishing children for circumstances they did not choose is not law and order. It is moral laziness.
@truthtomeCh@ladywaranon@ICEgov You seriously think every single person being taken by ICE is a killer/rapist etc? If that was the case no one would have a problem... the issue is that they're detaining people with no criminal history and normal working people!
@Hippie_0407@allenanalysis You can't just "apply" for citizenship. You have to be a lawful permanent resident. Coming here illegally of course doesn't fall under that category. Even if they file they'll most likely get denied, and of course opens the door to deportation hence the fear of y they don't apply

@BK_McCallum@allenanalysis How about giving your kids a better life? Would you rather them live in poverty? Or give them a better chance to succeed in a country full of opportunities? While I agree Mexico has an infrastructure problem, it's just common sense. Better opportunity for their kids
