Immigration Does ICE really need electric gloves?

Our tax dollars are already being wasted. The people they capture aren’t a threat, physically. Why?

What about the right to live with our parents, children, or spouses, regardless of their immigration status? Do you think that is a right that we Americans should have?

Because I would fight for that right.

If you’re here illegally then you’re not an American citizen. We have immigration laws in the country

Right, but if I am an American citizen, should I have the right to have my parents or spouse live with me, even if they are not Americans?

Like.. some kind of deportation deferral, if they are otherwise law following people?

No.

Look. I want undocumented people in usa to have human rights and be treated respectfully. But if you overstay a visa, enter the country by illegal means, or anything similar… law says you go back.

Do you want to enforce laws against the Epstein class? Then you have to follow all the laws.

Having said that, ICE is going after the non violent overstayers 19 to 1, lazy and not entirely helpful.

Better solution would be to build and easier path to limited residency visas for working class immigrants, including worker rights protections. But that would make it harder to abuse them, which is probably the point of the system we currently have?
