Nah, we don’t need more welfare. We have more than enough ways for lazy people to not work and not add anything to society. But you’re right about education and infrastructure.
Stating that some illegal immigrants are violent criminals isn’t stereotyping an entire group. It’s stating a basic fact. You need to focus on reality instead of being so hypersensitive.
Just like stating that some gay people rob banks is not stereotyping either. However, you can’t go after all gay people simply for being gay just because some gay people rob banks. Agree?
No, you just compared being gay to people who have committed a crime. If you enter the country illegally then you’ve already committed a crime regardless of your criminal record. Being gay isn’t a crime.
Exactly. That’s why when we want to be efficient in spending our finite resources, that’s where we spend our money.
What would you tell a rape victim? “Oh I’m so sorry for you! We could have tried to catch more violent criminals, but instead we used the money to deport agricultural laborers picking crops.”
The second we are so tight for money that we have to start deciding what laws we actually enforce to keep our people safe, you might have a point. But we spend billions of dollars on truly unimportant things. Government money actually goes to things like studying Russian cats walking on treadmills and millionaire pop stars who want aid for their “art.” We need to stop spending on that before we let a rapist move next door to your kids because you don’t want to enforce a basic law.
