@GeminiLowes @Scorebo18348944 @funder @UNITEDWEDREAM If the people spoke English (or American English, if that's how you want to play it) then it would avoid that confusion. What option would you prefer to help with the language barrier?

[Steve James @sanfran5x]

@GeminiLowes @Scorebo18348944 @funder @UNITEDWEDREAM It is absolutely wrong. The ICE agents, and those giving orders, should be punished/held responsible.

[Steve James @sanfran5x]

@GeminiLowes @Scorebo18348944 @funder @UNITEDWEDREAM Ok...solution. Enforce the laws. Don't break the laws. Use money for the "wall" to open immigration centers, hire more agents/immigration lawyers. Make the legal process quicker/simpler. Punish those who are currently breaking the law.

[Steve James @sanfran5x]

@GeminiLowes @Scorebo18348944 @funder @UNITEDWEDREAM I was just trying to figure out a way to avoid that language barrier you brought up...the one that put's non-English speaking people in danger.

[Steve James @sanfran5x]

@GeminiLowes @Scorebo18348944 @funder @UNITEDWEDREAM Ahhh...yes...there's the "debate" tactics you were pushing for. Got it!

[Steve James @sanfran5x]

@GeminiLowes @Scorebo18348944 @funder @UNITEDWEDREAM Please educate me on what it means to "debate properly". What have I done differently than you?

[Steve James @sanfran5x]

@GeminiLowes @Scorebo18348944 @funder @UNITEDWEDREAM Ok?

[Steve James @sanfran5x]

@GeminiLowes @Scorebo18348944 @funder @UNITEDWEDREAM Ohhh...gotcha...so you support making English mandatory, then? So that everyone can understand direction from government officials? Seems like it would be a good idea, if only for the safety and protection of everyone.

[Steve James @sanfran5x]

@CoryBooker I'm trying to find, in the constitution, where it protects my right to drive a motor vehicle.

[Steve James @sanfran5x]

@GeminiLowes @Scorebo18348944 @funder @UNITEDWEDREAM I'm just arguing pro-law...and would argue the same even if we were discussing (insert here)...you can't reward people for doing the wrong thing.

[Steve James @sanfran5x]

@Scorebo18348944 @GeminiLowes @funder @UNITEDWEDREAM So immediately many arguments, throughout the country, are dismissed immediately. By doing that, unfortunately, many good ideas are lost, and a compromise will never happen.

[Steve James @sanfran5x]

@Scorebo18348944 @GeminiLowes @funder @UNITEDWEDREAM My pleasure. Here's the main problem. Because of some of my comments, many people will assume I'm a racist conservative because, in our current society, you have to be all or nothing. You can't have some conservative views and some liberal views. It's not acceptable.

[Steve James @sanfran5x]

@Scorebo18348944 @GeminiLowes @funder @UNITEDWEDREAM The "lazy" comment was a joke...a reference to earlier. I agree with you completely. From what I can see is the only thing we disagree on is the enforcement of the current laws.

[Steve James @sanfran5x]

@GeminiLowes @Scorebo18348944 @funder @UNITEDWEDREAM "Sitting on the Internet all day". Aren't you typing just as much as I am?

[Steve James @sanfran5x]

@Scorebo18348944 @GeminiLowes @funder @UNITEDWEDREAM Then, you have to find a way to ensure they renew their papers before expiration, or there has to be consequences.

[Steve James @sanfran5x]

@Scorebo18348944 @GeminiLowes @funder @UNITEDWEDREAM Along with deportations and jail time we could make the legal path much simpler. Take money for "The Wall" and open up more crossing points, open more immigration centers, set up camps or build facilities to hold people/families (with refugee status) until they can be processed

[Steve James @sanfran5x]

@GeminiLowes @Scorebo18348944 @funder @UNITEDWEDREAM Yeah, and Obama wanted to close down Gitmo, and Bush Sr wanted "no new taxes". What politicians want to do and what they ACTUALLY are able to do are two different things. Simply more assumptions.

[Steve James @sanfran5x]

@Scorebo18348944 @GeminiLowes @funder @UNITEDWEDREAM An easier time? Are you calling them lazy? Listen, I'm not saying that I don't support immigration, changes to our current laws, and that I don't feel for everyone who comes from dire situations. I'm saying that it doesn't mean we can support breaking the law.

[Steve James @sanfran5x]

@GeminiLowes @Scorebo18348944 @funder @UNITEDWEDREAM Also, after doing my 20 years in the military, and ACTUALLY protecting the rights of people, our healthcare is about as good as it gets.
