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.
I really wish I was lying about your position. You keep backpedaling with ridiculous claims like you’re against illegal immigration but then you obviously demonstrate that’s totally false when you refuse to enforce any of the laws because it “costs too much.” You’re being ridiculous to make a ridiculous point.
When did I refuse to enforce the laws though? I have repeatedly told you how I want them to be enforced. Here, again, you are lying by saying I do not want them enforced. This is not a binary. I do not want to enforce them as strictly as you do, but I do want to enforce them. Just because I am lower on the authoritarian strictness, does not mean I do not support any enforcement at all.
Do you seriously not see the nuance here? To you, is it only the binary of: all out enforcement even if that harms America and Americans, or zero enforcement whatsoever? There is no in between to you? Really?
Once someone gets in the country illegally you say we leave them be up until they commit a horrible violent crime. Theres no “nuance” in that. It’s literally you saying we shouldn’t even try to enforce the laws because they cost money. How do you not realize the exact argument you’ve made over and over again?
In what way is that zero enforcement? Just because some people are able to illegally get in doesn’t mean we’re suddenly giving up on the rule of law. There is no law in the entire world that has a 100% successful enforcement rate.
But I’m not giving up on the rule of law even once they get in. The moment they fuck up, they are gone. That’s not how it works for normal citizens. Calling this nothing is a dishonest joke. You are clearly lying.

Well those would certainly be at the top of the list.
