    Cool. We all should support the legal process to deal with people who have broken laws.

    Now ask if they support picking people up off the street and throwing them into foreign jails without ever having to provide any evidence that they’re here illegally. Or even when we know for a fact that people are here legally, if they support arresting them and kicking them out too.

    I’m exhausted with this fucking bullshit. No one supports people breaking the laws.

    Ask people if they support the constitution and if they believe the government is free to ignore it.

    Also. Fuck Newsweek. Here’s the link to the poll https://www.cygn.al/poll-karens-freak-out-over-ice-raids-as-hispanic-support-for-deportations-surges/

      No one supports people breaking the laws.

      What about these laws? Or these laws? Don’t you support people breaking unjust laws?

      I think what you’re really saying is that you think US immigration laws are generally just.

      The crime angle on immigration was always made up. Crime rates where lower than average among this group. So if you deport that group crime rates would go up.
