People need to stop being so hard on the ICE agents, they’re just doing they’re job.

Exactly, they are.

So are most cops. That’s also fashionable now, though. It’s a different manifestation of the same thing.

We use the more accurate word “undocumented,” not “illegal.” To be in this country without papers is a violation of civil law, not criminal law.

Excuse me, but if you are “undocumented”, are not an LPR, are not here on one of the many visas the US issues, or are not a citizen, you are illegally here and are therefore an illegal immigrant.

To be in this country without proper authorization is a violation of FEDERAL law.

Immigration law is Federal.

That is completely one hundred percent accurate, whether you prefer it or not.

That’s also not an indictment against anyone who is, but it’s a legal certainty and a correct assessment of status.

What is? Being hard on cops?

Yep. Certainly seems that way.

I don’t mean those who deserve it. I mean in general. Don’t over or under-interpret me here. 🌹

Your right, people need to be more helpful/respectful to all law enforcement officers.
 
No, the correct word is “illegal”, in that they break federal law when they enter the country without a visa or permit.
 
I’m not ready to consider the moral advice of a self-proclaimed practicing socialist.

This is a strawman. Bernie Sanders doesn’t support “open borders.”

He’s come out against the term, but not the practice. He doesn’t want any border security and he wants to give visas to practically everyone who bothers to come here.

How lovely that you’ve been able to benefit from the sacrifices that your grandfather made. It’s a crying shame that you don’t support extending that right to other people.

Hmmm.

Wonder if his grandfather came here legally.

Indeed he did, went through Ellis Island processing and vetting. If immigrants were unable to work or a criminal or morally depraved or gravely sick, and they figured that they might become a burden on the taxpayers, they were sent back.

Huge difference between that, and just sneaking in or overstaying your visa.
 
My link above explained that too many conservative Catholics are rather self-serving in the homage they pay to the law. They’re happy to denounce and challenge Roe v. Wade, for example, but seem perfectly pleased with laws that deny immigrants the same fundamental, Church-sanctioned right to migration that their parents and ancestors enjoyed.

There are just laws and unjust laws. If you think that barring immigrants from the same right your grandfather had is a fair law, just own it.
 
Bernie Sanders spent his honeymoon in Russia. He is not one to preach to Americans or Catholics about moral values.

Bernie Sanders also just approved
$380 MILLION taxpayer dollars to fund Israel with missiles and weaponize their rocket dome that 3 US army soldiers work on full time.

Bernie Sanders is just another Washington fat cat who doesn’t care about the working class. Stop immigration now, it does great damage to community based societies.

You’re right, consarnit! America for the Americans! Them immigrants come here and ain’t even bother to learn themselves the language.

In all seriousness–our county’s chamber of commerce recently held one of its conferences and the chairman talked all about how our booming industries and manufacturers are looking at a whole host of problems because they can’t find enough people to fill vacant positions since The Feds put the clampdown on immigration.

By the way, I live in a county once characterized by Karl Rove as the most reliably Republican county in the U.S. We’re conservatives here. Businessmen and conservatives. We have only a single Democrat elected to a state-level office.

And even WE understand the hurt that restricted immigration will do to the economy.
 
First it was the Hi-spanics comin’ over here with their Popish ways, building their temples to honor the Vatican. Took a couple wars to push them out. Remember the Alamo!

Then the Negros started coming over and we’ve still got them to contend with.

Then the Irish. But they were useful railroad builders until they died of disease.

But we replaced them with the Chinamen. Except the women. We didn’t want no China woman over here trying to set down roots.

Then the Eye-talians, the Pollacks, and all the other mill-hunks. The Jews? We’ve always had those, for some reason.

When’s this country going to understand that immigrants are bad news?
