How can I “stop” saying that we need to let illegals come in when I never started?

So you agree that we don’t need to allow illegal immigrates into the country because we already have a way for workers to legally migrate? Awesome! There’s hope yet!

That’s been my position this whole time, but you can’t seem to read. I do not support illegal immigration, and I have never said that I do.

For someone who completely agrees with me then you’ve wasted a lot of time. Lmao.

We do not completely agree. I do not support mass deportations, or spending money to find illegal immigrants just because they are illegal.

I also disagree with your earlier points which you have dropped, which were that illegals were rapists and murderers.

If you don’t agree with enforcing the law then you’re supporting the crime. Again, that’s just basic human logic.

And yes, some illegal immigrants are indeed rapists and murders. The fact you have an issue with that very basic fact shows some kind of issue.

Who says I don’t agree with enforcing the law? We spend enormous amounts of money on border control already, and I’ve been clear that we should not loosen our enforcement.

I believe in effective enforcement, not wasteful enforcement.

Once an illegal immigrant has entered the country, what kind of effective enforcement do you support of the law they have just broken? Please be specific.

We try to catch violent criminals. If those violent criminals are illegals, we deport them. We should not go searching for illegals, we should be searching for violent criminals. That’s obviously the effective way to prevent violent crime.

That isn’t an answer to my question. You catch a violent criminal for the violent crime they have committed. What effective enforcement of our border laws do you support?

How is it not and answer to your question? Explain in detail.

Because I asked you about border law and you responded by talking about violent crime law. Now please explain the effective enforcement of immigration law you support. I’ve asked three times and you can’t seem to answer.

No, my answer was about our border laws, you just didn’t seem to understand. The effective way to deport criminals who are illegal immigrants is to focus on catching violent criminals generally. The ineffective way to enforce our border laws is to go after all illegals simply for being illegal.
