    ICE raids across L.A. spark backlash; Trump officials vow to continue operations

    Here’s the problem with going down the slippery slope of choosing which laws to follow and which ones can be ignored: who decides which ones can be ignored? Me? I promise I’ll be fair. I don’t like paying taxes, for example. Can I choose not to pay my real estate taxes? I don’t like certain...

    Change the laws You have no right to bitch about the felon ignoring laws if you’re going to ignore our immigration laws

    Fix the laws. And until then apply as evenly as possible the ones on the books

    And you haven’t a clue that crossing the border is illegal unless you’re seeking asylum or under other legal options available to you. You cannot choose which laws to follow and which ones to ignore. That’s the way it is in this country. If you don’t like a law get it changed or leave

    I get all that. And I have nothing but respect for the workers busting their asses here. But illegal is illegal. You can’t pick and choose which laws to enforce and which ones to ignore.

    I don’t disagree. The obvious problem is that Congress never ever addresses important issues like immigration. They are too concerned with holding on to power. The good news is that if the MAGATS are successful in significantly reducing the immigrant workforce massive shortages in the labor...

    Legal work visas exist. The program needs to be expanded and improved. And until it is those here illegally, if caught, should be prepared to face the music

    Yup That’s disgusting Those legal immigrants are doing the right thing It’s not surprising that the felon is hassling them, is it.

    No, I mean every country has laws that must be followed. Now I admit that the law isn’t always evenly applied. But as much as possible it should be. Just because the felon is an a-hole who thinks he’s above the law doesn’t mean it’s right. You commit a crime you should be prepared to suffer the...

    You don’t get to choose. Maybe he’s a gang member (which, btw, isn’t illegal in and of itself). Maybe he isn’t. He’ll get his day in court. I’ll accept their decision.

    I’ll vote for whoever I please. I’m a moderate independent. I believe that if you don’t like the laws your option is to work to get them changed. You don’t get to decide which laws you want to obey and which ones you want to ignore. If you want to be in a situation where there are no laws that...

    The word is accurate. When you sneak across the border you’re a criminal unless you’re looking for asylum in which case you entered legally. I’m referring to the criminals who sneak in looking for work. While I sympathize with their plight they are here illegally and should face the penalty for...

    Well of course! Our immigration laws have to be changed. And I agree that these people are an important part of our labor force-an integral part. I can’t get past the word “illegal”. You don’t get to cut in line ahead of those who went through the process correctly. If you do you should be...

    Garcia has been convicted of nothing besides being in the country illegally. He’ll get his day in court. Criminals-the few that there are (turns out the percentage of immigrants here who are criminals is far lower than those here legally) should take priority-but if you’re here illegally you...
