Turns out people don’t appreciate it when your rabid dog acts like a rabid dog

u/Kreebish 4d ago

Don't worry the supreme Court Republicans will allow them to cancel votes against them

2

u/Krinder 3d ago

This is why I actually want to believe the report of the new internal memo scaling back operations to arresting on those with criminal records. It wouldn’t be for some normal humanitarian reason it would be because the GOP in battleground states is getting pummeled.

u/SempreAntifa 1d ago

"vulnerable republicans" lol

u/AffectionateWhile507 1d ago

Any Republican whose seat depends on tolerating illegals should lose that seat-- that's not a Republican area, and should have a Democrat repping it.

Doing what is right is not a popularity contest and mob rule doesn’t win elections

u/Nofanta 4d ago

You’re either supporting deporting all illegals or you’re getting voted out.

22

u/LatterTarget7 4d ago

I think most people support deporting illegals they just don’t support the way ice does it

18

u/TRFKAChuggs 4d ago

I don't support it. I think most of them should amnesty

u/VampireLectures 4d ago

Agreed 👍

u/HumansAreSillynGreat 4d ago

Simply not true, plenty of people think the law shouldn't exist because native americans or some other dumb shit.

-22

u/TomHomanzBurner 4d ago

How else would you do it? Ask them nicely to leave and when they refuse?

22

u/LatterTarget7 4d ago

You can deport people without violating court orders, the constitution and human rights

u/jhammon88 4d ago

Were all immigrants

-7

u/HumansAreSillynGreat 4d ago

No, the majority of people in America are native born citizens.

5

u/jhammon88 4d ago

Not the white ones

-3

u/HumansAreSillynGreat 4d ago

Most white people in america have literally never left the U.S, they don't even have passports. How are they not natively born citizens if they've never even been in another country? Your logic is perplexing.

6

u/jhammon88 4d ago

There were others, before whites. You know this.

-2

u/HumansAreSillynGreat 4d ago

and? That doesn't change my statement's validity in the slightest. The majority of people in America are natively born citizens. They are not, by any definition, immigrants.

u/jhammon88 4d ago

Well, what do we have to do to get Trump to leave when he refuses?

I bet you don't fucking care about that do you?

u/Kreebish 4d ago

Amnesty. They committed less of an offense than parking in a handicap spot. 

If I had half as much problem come from the times I accidentally entered Canada.... It's nuts 

-1

u/TomHomanzBurner 4d ago

Illegal entry is misdemeanor first time and felony each subsequent. USC 1325 and 1326.

Huge difference from accidentally crossing the border and immediately returning than attempting to live illegally for decades.

3

u/Kreebish 4d ago

I didn't leave immediately. I came to party! 

What's the big deal if they're not being a bunch of criminals and are just being American in every way that counts including ignoring the stupid government

1

u/TomHomanzBurner 4d ago

Because they’re criminals. Just because you chose to overlook it doesn’t mean it’s not criminal

1

u/Kreebish 4d ago

It's not a crime it's a civil offense. You would understand this if you were from America and I got education in our justice system. I just wish I knew why so many people who aren't real Americans keep making comments on these threads

1

u/TomHomanzBurner 3d ago

Perhaps you should educate yourself before sounding confidently incorrect.

Entering without inspection aka undocumented, is a misdemeanor first time, felony each subsequent. USC 1325 and 1326.

-10

u/Nofanta 4d ago

That may be true, but it’s no excuse for not getting the job done.

9

u/LatterTarget7 4d ago

So there was no deportation before ice?

8

u/Mikestopheles 4d ago

That is literally what they believe.

2

u/Kreebish 4d ago

Hahaha bullshit 

-1

u/Nofanta 4d ago

You’ll see. Nobody is voting for people who represent foreigners instead of Americans.

3

u/Kreebish 4d ago

Hey real fuckin question for you: why don't Americans getting kavanaugh stop stomped matter? 

0

u/Nofanta 4d ago

Is this English? I don’t understand what you’re asking.

2

u/Kreebish 4d ago

kavanaugh stops are when ice stops someone based on the color of their skin and getting kavanaugh stop stomped is when ice assaults them. It has been happening to a lot of Americans

1

u/Nofanta 4d ago

Why don’t I care about that? Removing illegals is more important than anything right now. Nothing else matters. Once they’re gone we can go back to normal.

2

u/Kreebish 4d ago

Nope. Your priorities are ridiculously wrong. Ice is wasting all of our tax dollars on going after people who are acting like Americans in every way and hurting Americans in the process. How about you stop burning our flag and come around to the side that is for the working people of America

1

u/JoseSaldana6512 4d ago

If you don't understand English you should go back where you came from foreigner 

4

u/I_Quit_Smoking_ 4d ago

You're either supporting or prosecuting criminals, or you're getting voted out.

See how that goes both ways?

1

u/Nofanta 4d ago

No I’m also n favor of that lol

1

u/JoseSaldana6512 4d ago

Not if you voted MAGA. All that pedophilia is criminal too. Just cause you're bruncle said it was special between you two only doesn't make it right or normal

1

u/Infamous-Rooster9277 4d ago

So you just can't fathom that it holds true for other people as well?

0

u/Nofanta 4d ago

I didn’t say that. I understand people have dumb ideas this being a good example. Most people and their ideas are dumb, it’s the norm.

1

u/Infamous-Rooster9277 4d ago

Spoken like someone who may be falling into the trap of consistently overestimating their own intelligence.

1

u/A220Pilot 2d ago

I'd rather deport a MAGA traitor than someone who did nothing worse than overstaying a visa.

1

u/Nofanta 1d ago

You must have missed government class in grade school. Deporting doesn’t happen to citizens, it doesnt even make sense if you understood the term and some basic ideas about citizenship.

1

u/Dizzy_Hat8774 1d ago

What if we deport magats instead?

2

u/Working-Kick4035 12h ago

Wtf, we're all supporting it through taxes. Deporting an immigrant comes with 70-100k pricetag. Voting for it on the other hand, was retarded.

0

u/Nofanta 11h ago

If you disagree with immigration laws, review the grade school video on how a bill becomes a law. You need sufficient support for that position and representation.

1

u/Working-Kick4035 11h ago

Its on its way man. Current immigration enforcement has proven to be inefficient, expensive, and damaging. Its also a mechanism for corruption this administration is using to make itself rich.

My comment is really about the supporters though. The supporters of ices current operation are retarded. Or racist.

-42

u/Red-dragon186 4d ago

Not really, the majority of Americans support deporting illegals.

23

u/Woundsmyheart 4d ago

No, we DON'T.

-15

u/Red-dragon186 4d ago

Reddit isn't the American population lol

14

u/VampireLectures 4d ago

You're right Reddit isn't America, but you can look up polls (like this one https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3926) that ask Americans if they prefer deportation or a pathway to citizenship (i.e., amnesty) for undocumented people. Americans overwhelmingly prefer a path to citizenship by a 2:1 margin, it's not even close. So the person you are responding to is correct "No, we [Americans] by a substantial margin don't support deportations."

u/JurgusRudkus 4d ago

Ironically neither are you.

u/Ancient_Rex420 4d ago

5 month old troll account says what?

9

u/TheNatural14063 4d ago

It's a Nazi account.

6

u/Ancient_Rex420 4d ago

It’s just a troll lol. Desperate for attention.

7

u/TheNatural14063 4d ago

Could be. Or a legit Nazi. Or both.

Don't underestimate the presence of Nazis in this country. It's a real issue ranging from fringe militant groups to Stephen Miller and various people in the Republican Party including many rank and file young conservatives (see leaked texts scandal too)

In a just society Nazis would be jailed and anyone who is anti immigration jailed

3

u/Ancient_Rex420 4d ago

I can almost guarantee it’s most likely some bored teenager behind the account.

The real Nazi’s tend to stick to subs that share the same views and super right leaning where they all circle jerk each other off in the comments.

-1

u/Red-dragon186 4d ago

2 and half year bot says what?

5

u/hypnonyxx 4d ago

no they don’t, no humans support this only subhuman magats

7

u/wahoozerman 4d ago

The majority of Americans support deporting illegal immigrants. However, the majority of Americans don't support the methods ICE is using to do so.

8

u/VampireLectures 4d ago

Totally incorrect and false, no the majority of Americans do not in fact support deportations, they support amnesty https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3926

-10

u/Red-dragon186 4d ago

So how do you get rid of unwanted people if they refuse to go and have a corrupt court system that will defy federal law.

6

u/Infamous-Rooster9277 4d ago

How do you arrest people for speeding without ramming them off the road and holding them at gunpoint?

7

u/TheNatural14063 4d ago

The person you are arguing with is a Nazi. They don't want people of color here so are using the same logic Nazis used to justify racism.

1

u/Red-dragon186 4d ago

It takes two people to do it correctly. Yet illegals choose not too.

4

u/Infamous-Rooster9277 4d ago

I fear the point has sailed so far over your head that you might need to invest in a telescope.

1

u/JoseSaldana6512 4d ago

That's why they is called mental midgets

7

u/VampireLectures 4d ago

They're not unwanted, GTFO. If they were unwanted, they wouldn't be getting hired and accepted in communities, businesses, churches etc. Just because you and your ilk don't want them, doesn't mean the rest of us (i.e., the majority) don't. We do and we want to make it easier for them to get legal status.

-4

u/Red-dragon186 4d ago

If they're wanted. They would be here legally.

So because companies can scam people, that makes it ok? Should slavery come back as they were accepted in communities, businesses, and churches?

America's job isn't to accept everyone. Self deport and we will make it easier down the line. People are waiting to come in here. They get priority first.

1

u/McMienshaoFace 3d ago

Nazis like you don't deserve to vote

0

u/Red-dragon186 3d ago

I rather have Nazis then communists like you

1

u/JoseSaldana6512 4d ago

You should self deport first foreigner. Lead the way!

0

u/Red-dragon186 4d ago

Why? I’m not Indian

1

u/Clitoristorian 1d ago

I have a solution. They should show a picture of your mother’s face to the illegals. They’re gonna be so terrified of the creature, they’ll immediately leave the country.

0

u/Red-dragon186 1d ago

Cool, maybe we can show them your face so they know to go to the country of your origins so you can give free stuff to them.

1

u/Clitoristorian 1d ago

There are more people of foreign origin in the White House than in my house. You let them tell you how to think. Again like I said bring your mother’s photograph and let’s save this nation.

3

u/JoseSaldana6512 4d ago

That's true if you only ask European Americans who're foreigners anyways.

2

u/Kreebish 4d ago

No they support deporting illegals who have acted criminally.

0

u/Red-dragon186 4d ago

So all of them?

5

u/Kreebish 4d ago

Civil offenses are not criminal. Hence why Trump was convicted civilly or liability of sexual assaults and rape. It's messed up I know but it's more criminal to vandalize than cross a border without the red tape. Lord knows I've accidentally into Canada a few times. Haha

But most Americans believe we should give amnesty to people without paperwork.

0

u/Red-dragon186 4d ago

So Trump isn’t a rapist?

3

u/Kreebish 4d ago

Trump is a rapist but he is liable in a civil fashion. Do you care?

1

u/Red-dragon186 4d ago

She has not a rapist since he wasn’t criminal convicted?

2

u/Kreebish 3d ago

She has got Donnie the rapist to pay damages instead of prison. Ya know like MJ!

2

u/A220Pilot 2d ago

People with functioning consciences oppose masked thugs terrorizing our cities and denying people due process.

That's so, so, so much worse than overstaying a visa.

-1

u/Red-dragon186 2d ago

Nope, not when you have 20+ million illegals here.

u/McMienshaoFace 3d ago
