Fun fact: If any of us Americans tried to illegally enter another country or overstay a visa, and then got kicked out, and then started crying, nobody would care. See? It's like that.

[@MSmith-b33tingU]

I am assuming you DO know that AMERICANS have been scooped up & deported to South America where they are in PRISON now for ILLEGALLY entering because they are AMERICAN CITIZENS forced by Convict47 to ILLEGALLY enter that country, right? Illegal immigrants who commit crimes have ALWAYS been picked up/sent back. BIDEN was sending MORE back, daily, than Convict47 has, daily. Oh, and under Biden, AMERICAN CITIZENS were NOT being deported. But, apparently you like non-white Americans being deported to/imprisoned by foreign countries. Hey, wanna throw one of those Musk sieg heils while you're at it?

[@MSmith-b33tingU]

Gee, I sure hope you're not one of the American Citizens (like many others), already rounded up & illegally deported by Gestapo Ice. Those innocent American citizens were forcibly shipped to foreign countries and guess what? Those countries immediately imprisoned the Americans because they are Americans who entered those countries illegally, because they were forced there by ICE! Oh, but you're probably white so you feel all safe in your racist skin, right? I mean, Reicht?

Yeahhhh, every immigrant farm worker, restaurant employee, or landscaper, are legal. You're an idol worshipping maga idiot if you don't understand the massive economic implications of this broad swath deportation. The US, as a very part of its foundation, whether people like it or not has always employed significantly numbers of people who immigrated illegally. Here's the solution: 1) If you've committed crimes and are not contributing to the US economy, you are immediately deported to your home country, and 2) if you're contributing to the US economy through your work and are not a criminal, you are given a fast track to US citizenship. Problem solved, all the while protecting the US economy.

[@ironcladpatriot5829]

Legal immigrants spend years navigating a complex, expensive, and often frustrating process. They invest time, effort, and money to comply with the law, respect our system, and earn their place here. They study for citizenship exams, pay fees, and wait patiently for approval while working hard to contribute to society. Meanwhile, individuals crossing the border illegally bypass these rules entirely. They disregard the legal framework that so many others honor and exploit loopholes while straining resources meant for citizens and lawful immigrants. It’s an affront to those who do it the right way, and it undermines the value of citizenship and the integrity of the immigration process.

[@travis2931]

Exactly, we are also very welcoming to everyone who comes here legally. Once these bureaucrats understand the difference between an illegal alien and someone who’s following the rules, we’ll all be better off.

It's always been about cheap and exploitable labor for the Democrats since 1787, the end of slavery it was cheaper to share crop, the foreign illegal labor later became the cheaper and when robots are cheaper they will want to toss out the illegals.

They may pay sales tax but I assure you they don’t pay enough sales tax to educate their children for $20,000 or pay for healthcare they use. And yes, I have berry picked for money before.

If Americans were truly would’ve been doing those jobs no illegal would’ve taken your jobs.

[@AlexandraOrzechowski]

@@RoseRainesillegal immigrant do not get health care, i promise. Undocumented immigrants in the United States make substantial contributions to federal, state, and local tax revenues. In 2022, they paid approximately $96.7 billion in taxes, with $59.4 billion going to the federal government and $37.3 billion to state and local governments.  These contributions come from various taxes, including sales, excise, property, and income taxes. For instance, in California alone, undocumented residents contributed about $8.5 billion in state and local taxes annually.  Despite these significant tax payments, undocumented immigrants are often ineligible for many of the public benefits their taxes support. Granting work authorization to undocumented immigrants could further increase their tax contributions by an estimated $40.2 billion per year, due to higher wages and increased tax compliance.  It’s important to note that while undocumented immigrants contribute significantly in taxes, some analyses suggest that the costs associated with providing public services to this population may exceed their tax contributions. For example, a study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform estimated that in 2023, the net cost to American taxpayers was around $150 billion after accounting for both the contributions and the expenses related to undocumented immigrants.  These figures highlight the complex economic role of undocumented immigrants in the U.S., encompassing both their contributions and the costs associated with their presence.

@@WellnessGarden-u9o yes. employ the unhoused transient population by offering job placement into undesirable jobs, and provide dorm-style housing. If they stay clean and want more space, then work way up to renting own apartment.

ICE IS COMING TO A TOWN NEAR YOU!

[@jamesnash6101]

If there is any police agency that doesn't work the feds. Should not receive federal funding until they cooperate with the feds. Also, each and every crime that is committed by an illegal. Should be made public. Therefore, if a robbery or any serious crime is committed. Then the poice departments who would not work with ICE will have some serious questions to answer. Now the question becomes: Are you sure that you don’t want to cooperate with the feds? We'll be watching, tracking, and reminding.

[@christianbenedict5136]

[@darlenelovesJesus]

I see a criminal or they wouldn't have arrested her! We don't know what crime she may have committed in her home country. They can come back to America the legal way if they love it here and want to live here. I love Mexicans and have been learning to speak Spanish. Mexicans make up most of the town I live in.

You'll be shocked to find out that 80% of employers who hires them are white business owners. Don't believe me? Check out the trucking industry.

[@ShawnHaman-d3s]

If anyone wants to be in the U.S. you have to do it legally. No exceptions. It's a process, and it can be expensive, but it is the correct way. No exceptions. Think of any other country that would do things differently,why should we do the same?

[@J.A.706]

"This is what makes Seattle thrive." Seattle is not thriving. Seattle is dying. It looks like a third world country. Families can't even use their local public libraries anymore because of drug dealing and homeless encampments and infected needles surrounding and within them. What was once gorgeous Pike Place Market is destroyed. The few multimillionaires and billionaires driving up prices to impossible levels are hidden away in massive mansions while the rest of Seattle is barely alive.

[@alexp1329]

If someone broke the law to come here. They don’t respect the laws or legal system. They need to leave. If that offends you, good. You can pack your bags also and leave with them. As a child of a legal immigrant I believe we need immigration, but legally. If don’t agree with that then you have two choices leave or work to get the system fixed. Breaking a law you don’t agree with is wrong. Maybe someone can believe that laws don’t apply to them as they break into your house and steal your stuff and threaten your family. Laws are there for a reason.
