Our immigration laws are the result of an unholy alliance of Peckerwoods and union bosses. Without these two groups we would reinstate the Bracero program, where Mexicans came to the US for seasonal employment, left their families home, and rejoined them at the end of the employment, bringing home much needed extra income. This worked out to the benefit of everyone but the UFW.
 
Trump IS Following US Constitutional Immigration Laws !
Americans want Trump to protect America as he is . So I'm not sure what you're getting at.
 

Conservatives: should we remove the Statue of Liberty poem?​

As a modern Fiscal Conservative but Social Democrat I say NO!

Because MAGATS et al will not always be trying to ruin everything America once stood for as that "shining city on a hill".

A Salvadoran national deported under President Trump is now on his way back to the United States as an accused criminal, according to court documents obtained by Fox News.

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, 29, is charged in a sealed federal indictment out of Tennessee with conspiracy to unlawfully transport illegal aliens for financial gain and unlawful transportation of illegal aliens.

Abrego Garcia allegedly moved illegal immigrants from Texas to interior states, in what courts say was an organized operation stretching back years.
 
Good post!!!!!

A sizable portion of this country believe we are headed for a wonderful new age but
the majority understands that this country has
gone down a dangerous path for almost 60 years & in the process lost it's collective minds.

Those who believed we were headed for a wonderful new age until Trump came along
are foaming at the mouth haters. Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Jay & the crew
that helped form this country thought this countries sameness made it possible to
endure & succeed, not diversity.

Humans are highly ethnocentric with a bias towards familiarity. That is why you have borders
to keeps un-familiar people out -and protect & insure a workiable society.
Isn't this what the left is all about. the upheaval of a harmonious society that's been gaining traction fortoomany decades.

If you came here illegally then became DACA then you are still an illegal. Any so called citizens being deported are by choice or family choice. They don't have to go but their illegal relatives do. If they all want to stay together then fine, they can all leave together.

Sure, those little LEGAL UNITED STATES CITIZENS should just opt to remain behind, pull up their boot straps and get on with their lives.

Deportation of LEGAL UNITED STATES CITIZENS via OVERSHADOWING GOVERNMENT DURESS, true, is not a ""technical"" legal deportation but it is by all means and ways in practical reality a deportation of LEGAL UNITED STATES CITIZENS.

We should take the entire statue down at this point.

Hi BirdInHand,

Sorry, NO.

This was a special gift from a good friend. When good times return you would regret not having Lady Liberty. Besides that, it also means a lot to the rest of the world. It is an iconic symbol that stands for 'Liberty'! Tearing that down means giving in.

You can't mean that. I am sure you recognize the symbolism of hope in it all.

The statue should remain as is and our immigration policy should return to being a controlled operation where people are thoroughly vetted instead of one encouraging the uncontrolled mass importation of criminals that one political party hopes will destroy America from within.

You have to be a real refugee, not just claim status and so on.

Hi man,

Try to grasp the concept of being a refugee. A refugee is a person who leaves his country behind out of fear. He than moves to an other country and when he arrives their he claims refugee status. At this point the person will likely be detained and held until the claimed refugee status is approved or declined. If he approved he will officially be a refugee. Where is the real part in this? The people who were declined refugee status will be send back. You can argue that they were not real refugees. That should be the reason for refugee denial I think.

However, in normal conversations, a refugee is a person who has left his home country out of fear. A status you're entitle to when you crossed the border of your home country on your way to a new home.

Are there criminals among them. Sure. Are the none-refugees among them. Sure. That is why all applications need to be vetted and approved. I fail to see the problem.

Leave it there to remind us what we might become.
 

In a normal conversation they apply for this at an embassy or port of entry. They don't hope the border.

Please though, keep pretending your an expert at immigration law.

HAAR! lol. You are quite probably a descendant of those waves of immigrants who served to build the country!

Railroads, highway, water services, sewage pipes, electrical conduits, mineral mining, anything you can think of that requires underground work was predominantly done by immigrants right up until today's era. Then we can talk about those skyscrapers and other edifices mostly built using immigrant labour.

Some of you just cannot resist the King's dog whistle can you? Some of you were obviously born to be indoctrinated by the most simpleton of ideas by the most simpleton of aspiring royalty.

Hi man,

A border is a point of entry.
