I am not so concerned with what he says. I am very concerned with what he does. As for the allegedly lower crime rate among illegals, about 30% of federal prisoners are illegals, so that’s a problem. Nor did he suggest that all illegals were criminals,and rapists but it is undeniable that some of them are, and that’s a problem.
Building the wall is one way to solve the problem.
That’s kind of a status crime, isn’t it? The point is that illegal entrants are more law-abiding than legal citizens.
But, if you take away his fear-mongering then the problem is really different. There is a problem as to how CA growers are going to have pickers, etc. Those illegal entrants have found a place in our economy, haven’t they?
No, it’s a “They broke the law regarding entry to this country, therefore they are criminals” kind of crime.
Get out of here with that anti-American propaganda. Illegal entry into the country is a misdemeanor. There are millions of Americans in this country with clean records, and you slander them for the sake of your politics. That is vile.
Tell that to the libertarian Cato institute. Its a fact, not propaganda. I’m surprised that the truth upsets you.
The only parties ignoring the truth here are you and that schill organization for the Koch brothers.
OK, cite studies to the contrary.
Every illegal alien has committed at least one misdemeanor.
We can start by acknowledging that no one really knows, so the claim that illegals commit less crime than citizens is unsubstantiated. There are studies, like the one from the CATO Institute that claim lower rates, and other studies such as this one that claim the opposite.
What do the Bishops have to say about this wall and welcoming the stranger as we are commanded in the Gospel.Ender:
OK, but must Trump say that undocumenteds (who have a LOWER crime rate than legal residents) coming to the US are criminals and rapists? Must he slur a judge by saying his ruling was racially biased because the judge is of a racial minority? That’s just pandering a demagoguery. It does nothing to resolve any problem.
Time for congress to actually do something…like have a guest worker program.
No, I think a person’s politics makes him or her ignore facts, I do.
If I recall, didn’t Schumer offer Trump $8 billion for the Wall? So Trump ends up going to court to get $2.5 billion? And got turned down for the Dreamers besides? Some businessman.
I certainly did. The discussion concerns activities of residents of the US. It appears that the illegal residents commit fewer crimes than the legal residents. Thus is killed some conservative talking points.
First of all, anti-immigrant animus in America is closely related to bias against Catholics.
Maybe the docile ones are leaving, huh?
