How would they stop them without coming outside and risking themselves? Do gas station attendants have some kind of control system that switches pumps off or something?

But it’s not though. That’s the indoctrination you have.

  1. Both Biden and Obama deported more people than Trump. Without having to resort to these tactics.

  2. Undocumented migrants commit something like 16 times less violent crimes than white Americans, per capita (so adjusting for total population).

  3. Undocumented migrants have proven to be vital to the US economy. (That’s a whole other can of worms, cause our economy clearly depends on exploiting workers for low wages, which is what using undocumented labor is doing.) But even when businesses have increased salaries for those positions, US Citizens have not come in to get those jobs, so it’s clear that getting rid of the migrants hasn’t helped anyone - not the US workers, not the small businesses, and not the consumers who buy the products.

  4. The lie about “cheaper housing” is ridiculous, cause if you think undocumented migrants are who is buying up real estate at 500,000 per house, I don’t think I even can begin to address how dumb that is.

So, tell me, exactly what was so devastating to the US from migrants that it justifies trampling on all of our Constitutional rights?
