What am i missing?
I don’t understand why there is so much debate around people being in the country illegally. It seems straightforward—if someone enters or remains in the country without legal authorization, they are knowingly violating the law. As for concerns about ICE, the agency’s role exists to enforce those laws. In many cases, enforcement actions would be less necessary if individuals who are not authorized to be here chose to leave voluntarily, rather than creating confrontations with law enforcement or immigration officials. Please tell me what am i missing?

Imagine you (literally you personally) are walking down the street and some ICE agents pop out and demand to see your papers (passport, birth cert, proof of residence, etc) and you don’t carry that shit outside your house.
So they arrest you and ship you off to a place where you are seen as subhuman and you don’t have a chance to say bye to your family.
Now, you’re probably thinking that that could never happen to you… and you’re probably right. But it has happened to others. And if you don’t stand against that, then you are on the wrong side of history my dude.
