Is law abiding the correct term here if they're here unlawfully?
Whether or not the US should consider them illegal is a different story; but if they don't have valid residency, they're already breaking the law
You're either trolling or genuinely out of the loop. They don't care if they're in the US legally or not, they've been deporting people with valid visas, green card holders and even US citizens. The Supreme Court decided it was ok for ICE to target people based on their appearance. Plus jumping the border isn't a criminal offense, just a civil one, which is like saying we should deport people for speeding
I'm not out of the loop, and I'm not disagreeing with anything you said. I'm addressing what the meme content has, and calling out that it's false. It's much better to focus on the facts, like how people are dying in ICE detention centers, rather than lying to make a point
You're nitpicking to cause discourse, to give an excuse to Gestapo scum.
Do the words "due process" mean anything to you?
Why is any kind of immigration illegal? Why is it so hard to move to this country?
Because racists got themselves put in charge, and they made it illegal.
No one is illegal on stolen land.
Because that's how laws work? Virtually no country takes in immigrants unchecked
No, that's how fascists work. Nobody said anything about unchecked immigration.
They hate minorities, so they make it near impossible for certain groups to immigrate legally. However they do absolutely nothing to punish employers who put those same groups to work at low pay, which undercuts the labor market, because what they really want is a slave class.
Ok but the question is why any type of immigration is illegal. The answer is because countries have rules about who can come in, and those rules are laws
Oh sorry, I presumed you'd give the question more than a momentary thought.
