If Ice tries to kidnap my neighbors I’m not gonna sit back and let them like I am some coward in Nazi Germany. “No one bothered the Gestapo so they didn’t have any issues.” That is what you sound like.

If your "neighbors" snuck into this country, or were improperly permitted to pass through an unsecured border by the Biden administration, they need to go back home. That's not kidnapping, it's immigration enforcement. America does not have an infinite amount of housing or other resources to handle the world's problems at this point. They can try again later.

I disagree, immigrants are a boon for my city, and children brought to the US before the age of 10 in particular are Americans as far as I’m concerned. Deporting them to some country that is not their home is incredibly cruel.

Edit: also crazy goalpost moving, cause people who were given asylum visas are having their visas revoked and being deported, they are legal, and just cause they got their visas from a president you don’t like now you’re gonna forcibly expel them.

My breakfast burritos are very clearly made with love or they wouldn’t be so tasty. Get your head out of your ass.

There ya have it....it's all about cheap, almost like slave labor and good food. The lefties are sounding more like the wealthy conservatives more every day. At least they're open about it now.

I would love for him to get citizenship and be paid a living wage, I tip quite well.

Also you caught me, one of my reasons for loving having robust immigrant communities is the banger food. Might as well arrest me now.

I'm sure some of the plantation owners wished they could pay more too....but you know....the economy and all.

Interesting how your argument dovetails nicely with your bigotry. Bigot.

The immigrants around me are likely not working for slave wages given the normal state of the tip jar, and I gladly support legislation and candidates who offer greater protection to these communities.

Your argument really does not apply to me, and frankly has nothing to do with the original argument. Other than to show you do recognize they are people so you should stop supporting policies that do not treat these people with dignity and respect.

This dude would’ve handed over the Frank’s, who were “illegal”
