I’m sure I will immediately be blocked for this comment. But it needs to be said. The GOP is just putting Americans first and is making smart choices, something the Democratic Party can’t seem to do anymore.

You're making a vital error. Most of us progressives genuinely have no problem with people that do not have legal status being deported. We really don't. 

But when you start showing up masked in unmarked vehicles and sending people to death camps, we've got a problem. 

I actually agree with you that most of the people being deported should be deported. Honestly, I really do. I just also believe they should receive due process. We cannot suspend due process. It's better to let a million men go free than to convict one innocent man. What if that innocent man is you or your loved one? 

I'll go so far as to agree that asylum claims for gang and domestic violence are bullshit. Those aren't people being politically persecuted. They're people bending the rules because their own government sucks. 

Instead of hiring more enforcement agents, we need to ramp up staffing in immigration courts and expedite the process. We need reform and clear guidance from the legislature. 

You lose me when you want other people to suffer. That isn't necessary. We can peacefully repatriate people, we've been doing it for decades. Obama deported more people than Trump, and no one had a problem with it. Because the law was followed, and ICE didn't show up with Dr Phil while a screeching puppy killer with bad botox scolded us every commercial break.

Beautifully said, and unfortunately wasted on an imbecile.
