They plan to deport families living in america. I think it is disgusting. A.political stunt that is really going to hurt a lot of people.

How do you feel

They plan to round up those who have received deportation orders but have not complied. Just like they do not comply with any of our laws!
 
Can't answer the poll, because it is a false poll.

Trump is not "targeting 'these families' for political reasons."

ICE = Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The agency's remit is to enforce immigration and customs law.

If they are "targeting" families who are eligible for deportation, then it's because these "families" have broken either criminal (illegal migrants) or civil (legal entrants whose legal permission has expired) Immigration law.

So I "feel" that ICE agents are simply doing their jobs.

Are the targeting only families?
 
They are targeting anyone who has a deportation order.
Yeah, I know - it was a poke at the lefties "he's gonna destroy families" hysterics. :wink:

Of course ICE is merely doing their job. That is the entire purpose of the Executive Branch, to enforce the laws enacted by Congress. Which is why they are so hated by the insane left, who want to abolish all sovereign borders.

ICE plans to *gasp* do its job and actually deport the foreign nationals who the courts have said need to go. BTW, when did enforcing the federal law become political?
 
I'd like to know what's new with this? Trump removed 250K last year. Yeah, it's far less than Obama was removing, but it's still a 1/4 Mil. So what's new, this weekend?

I feel like Congress passed laws and when Congress passes laws, they ought to be followed. Otherwise, what's the damn point?

Think of the babies!! Ripping children from mothers' bosoms!
The hysterics are going to be epic:roll:

Typical deplorable statement

why have our employers been inviting them here for.decades

No problem here in America employing illegal immigrants. But politically they are.the criminals NOT THE EMPLOYER! What a bunch of hypocritical BS

If you can't see the picture you are a blind and brainwashed deplorable.

It is a sick political stunt!

Actually though, ICE has been doing its job - to the tune of 200-250K deportations a year. Trump's doing far less than Obama was, but he's still doing it. This sounds like a Trump PR campaign, to be honest. Maybe because he hasn't been as effectual at it as Obama? I just don't know.

2016 called and want's Hillary's bigoted insult back.
Deflecting to employers won't make a difference.
It's a crime to enter our country illegally. A felony when done more than once.
Back to name calling. Shocker.

I think this is Trump listening to Tom Homan, after realizing Congress isn't going to do squat.

I really do hate the thought of actually physically rounding-up men, women, and children. It disgusts me. But, how else do you do it? If a citizen skips-out on a court hearing, a warrant is issued and they get picked-up sooner or later. Why would a non-citizen be treated any differently?

But the real problem is the porous border, the fly-in visitor overstayers, and the laws that allow the situation to get out-of-hand. The aforementioned have put us in a position where we have to decide to allow non-citizens to evade the law, or we have to take them into custody. It's sad, that we're put into a position to have to do something as unseemly as this.

Thank you for pointing to this reality.

I haven't followed him closely, besides knowing who he is. But since ICE has been doing this all along, my suspicion is this is just a Trump PR move.

It's not an either/or situation. It is wrong (and illegal) for US employers (job creators?) to exploit illegal immigrant labor but also wrong (and illegal) for foreign nationals to enter into (or remain inside) the US without federal government permission. Do you apply similar "logic" for drivers who get ticketed for exceeding the posted speed limits and claim that it was the vehicle manufacturer's fault for making a vehicle capable of going so fast?

With ever more sanctuary cities/states it is becoming more difficult to deport only the "worst of the worst" (those illegal immigrants who have also committed other state/local crimes) - so why not have ICE go after illegal immigrants simply for being illegal immigrants to get those numbers up?

I see no reason why not. Why would you ask?

You seemed to have doubts as to why Trump would have a different policy than Obama (to get basically the same deportation/return numbers). Another problem that Trump is facing a is a huge increase in OTM (other then Mexican) immigrants crossing the southern border - since they can't simply be returned.

I wasn't aware Trump's policy was any different. But I was aware he's not as successful as Obama with border security, deportation, or fence construction. So, I figured this was Trumpian PR to rally his base, in response to his being less effective.

How do you feel

Disgusting? Didn't you forget the part about them being here illegally? If you believe that anyone who decided to move here ought be allowed to do that; I'm afraid your idealistic generosity well exceeds the ability of working class American citizens to meet your personal Utopian Fantasies. Your post leaves very little doubt that you love the idea of a FREE EVERYTHING world, and at the same time exposes just how little you could or have contributed. But, to show I too, can be generous, I have no problem spending your funds, just leave mine alone until I tell you otherwise!
