Do people think they are clever and can have defacto open borders? Maybe stop the goon squads and enforce at the employer level though it would probably work too well…

Most of these people have SSNs and work permits. We let them in and let them work legally and now have suddenly changed our collective mind and are violently letting them know. It's absurd.

Actually there are at least ten million with no legal standing in the country at all. Did you actually just claim everyone in the country is here legally?

[dashundchen]

The poster did not say everyone in the country is here, you're putting words in their mouth. Presumably in bad faith.

Even non-citizens are entitled to due process and the 4th amendment. ICE is violating that left and right, citizens and legal residents included. Fuck ICE.

Except they form an important part of the economy, and they’re here because the government has implicitly allowed and supported that for decades.

That’s not an accident, either. It’s provided a source of cheap labor, who are not enfranchised, so have no political representation.

In many respects it’s a substitute for slavery. The perpetrators here aren’t the immigrants.
