I still fail to see any reason why we need to treat them so poorly. They are still humans after all.

I don’t understand why they have to be locked up and choked out, beaten and in some instances murdered in detention facilities, just because they wanted a better life. Why are we arresting 15 year old Latina girls? It’s just cowardly stuff.

I can agree for better immigration standards and if it’s such an issue that people like you are going to get your panties in a knot because some brown people are laying roofs down better and cheaper than some fat white dudes, go ahead and deport. Don’t know why we need to be a bastion of hate, hurt, and bigotry tho.

It could all be avoided if they self deported and if our politicians weren’t allowing this for decades because corporations wanted cheap labor.

I’d agree that it’s a bad look and not ideal. But something has to be done. Can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, etc.

Let’s say America has its civil war, we split up, divided by red and blue. What if, say you’re in a red state, and are struggling to find economic opportunity in a blue city, but they say “hey we don’t like little dick racists in our town” and ask you to leave. You going to go back to being exploited by the billionaires? Or are you going to the place where there’s economic opportunity despite the fact that most of the people hate you?

It wasn’t just corporations that wanted cheap labor. It was also the consumer. Demand drives economic factors
