John, I’m confused, which crimes are okay? So 34 felony convictions you can be president. Rioters that did $30 million in damage to the capitol building, beat and tried to kill police, several did die as a result, others have long lasting injuries, tried to kill the vice president, etc, those crimes are okay? Right? But coming to the USA to do jobs that Americans won’t do, such as picking our food, (if you ate an apple today, an immigrant picked it) working in meat packing, dish washers, keeping the farms going, those are bad crimes, right? Even your convicted felon is confused, TACOing again, first immigrants are murderers, rapists, eating our dogs and cats, then his donors call him, they need immigrants to work their farms, meat packing, hotels, now he says they are wonderful people, much loved, so they don’t have all the papers, we won’t touch them, then TACO again, go after all of them. Maybe you can contact the felon in the White House and explain to him which are the good crimes and which are the bad crimes, it’s obvious he’s as confused as I am.
“Live free or die” should apply to everyone, not just those lucky enough to be born on the right side of a border. Seeking safety, work, or opportunity is not criminal, it is human.
Crossing a border without papers is a civil violation, not a felony. People come here to escape violence, poverty, or persecution, often caused by U.S. foreign policy or economic pressure. They clean our homes, harvest our food, build our cities, and care for our children. That is contributing.
Green cards are earned, not privileges handed out like party favors. And “anchor babies” is a cruel and dehumanizing term for American children born under the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.
This country was built by immigrants, many of whom were poor, unskilled, non-English-speaking, and desperate. If they deserved a shot, so do today’s migrants.
Keep America strong? Then live up to the ideals etched on the Statue of Liberty, not the paranoia stoked by talk radio.
If you think borders don't matter, then I suppose you would support someone coming into your house, uninvited, to live there. And then they can invite 20 of their friends to join them. Why is it okay for you to maintain your home's security when you want to erase our country's security?
Border enforcement used to be bipartisan, but somehow the Left has lost their collective minds and now being a human being is enough to throw out centuries of laws and precedents.
Most of the illegal border crossers are indigent, unlike the waves of former legal immigrants who came with sponsors willing to vouch for them. So this is not a victimless crime. Speaking about crime, it is false to assert that illegal acts by criminals are okay because these are just crimes that would have been committed by Americans.
When there are jobs that Americans are loath to fill, capitalism has a solution to that. Employers have to raise wages in order to get people to do those jobs. But instead, you want to allow millions of illegal immigrants to come here and work these jobs for less. This is not a labor force that is "willing" to do these dirty jobs, this is exploitation. It is essentially forcing these people to take these difficult jobs because they don't speak our language and their options are usually quite limited. So essentially, the Left is arguing that we should exploit illegal immigrants. It is quite remarkable.
Green cards are not rights, they are privileges granted by the US. They can be rescinded if someone does not obey our laws. Entering the country illegally therefore makes them not eligible for a green card.
The country voted for Donald Trump to stop illegal immigration and to deport those who came unlawfully. Trump has successfully closed our border and let's hope he has lots of success returning these people back to their home countries.

What dont you people get ?
Only illegal aliens are being removed !
Illegal aliens are criminals, even if they only crossed the border illegally.
Being in America, and getting a green card is a priveledge. It can be revoked anytime.
Come to America the correct way, bring something to offer even if only manual labor, contribute and assimilate, don't be a burden, or a troublemaker.
Anchor babies are not the way to get to stay in America.
Keep America strong !
Live Free or Die !!

Your position is illogical and untenable.
If you think borders don't matter, then I suppose you would support someone coming into your house, uninvited, to live there. And then they can invite 20 of their friends to join them. Why is it okay for you to maintain your home's security when you want to erase our country's security?
