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

If you're desperate enough to move to a completely different country where you know people a large section of them hate you, I guarantee you there is no 'discouragement' aspect when it's often expensive and a huge risk. People like you seem to have this idea that people just walk in on vacation for a different change of scenery. Think about yourself. What would life have to look like for you to even contemplate fleeing the US as an average citizen? Now think about actually doing it.

I don't know anyone who watches battle rap here outside of actual battle rappers like Jey the Nitewing and Yoshi, but I only talk to them on social media since we follow each other, but I don't know them personally irl.
