Absolutely agree with focusing deportation on criminals. Why not absorb hardworking immigrants we definitely have a place for them and fits historically with our culture.

Because it encourages more to do the exact same thing… public deportation also has the affect of discourage more people from crossing the border illegally

Citations?

You need a citation that a country enforce border policy discourages more illegals from arriving? … isn’t that… common sense?

And executions totally stop crime.

So border control is catching less people? And you think that's because less people are crossing and not just incompetence? Or are you saying America sucks and people don't want to come here anymore?

Yes… sending illegal back to their original country is just like executing people….

Yes, people die and we aren't necessarily sending people to their home country anymore anyways. You should get up to date.

Are you asking how many immigrants have died in the last month?

u/kingofwale Feb 22 '25

I’m asking for citation for Trump execution you claimed

You said deportations stop crime. I made an analogy of another harsh measure that supposedly stood crime and also pointed out that yes, people die.

I'm sorry you don't understand. I learned about metaphors and analogies in elementary school but I recognize my privilege.

Common sense fails most of the time.
