Why don't you take it up with President Trump? He's the one that did the 180 degree turn.

I'm not sure I understand the difference between those caught in the act of crossing the border, and catching one halfway through the country with no drivers license, no rent receipts, no social security card, no valid ID of any kind? I also don't think sending them back from wherever they get picked up is punishing them. This is no easy task deciding who gets to stay and who goes. But if you're working for cash, or not working at all then this seems reasonable to deport them. Here in Northwest Colorado we have a very well established group of MS-13, and Latin King members that have ties to Mexican organized crime and are arrested regularly for dealing drugs. They come back fast. This is a problem, especially the drugs. How do you deal with this?

How do you know they're here illegally, without going to court? (unless they're caught by border patrol in the act, at the border). We believe in innocent until proven guilty here, this isn't a commie country where we punish people based on assumptions. They don't need a multi-day jury trial, 5 minutes in front of an immigrant judge should suffice. But without basic due process, you have no way to know they're here illegally, other than just assuming, which is commie nonsense.

(Again, I'm not referring to illegals caught in the act of crossing the border by border patrol. Those people can just get shipped right back over).[/quote]


Birth certificate would be a clue, passport, past SS activity is another if you really think you’re invisible just apply for SS benefits the questions about you that they ask and know the answers to already is scary. You get a work history from SS that goes back to day one right? Do you ever see beyond the tip of your nose dude? [/quote]


I know, I know, the answer is NO.

Not so fast, the raids are back on.

This just points out what is probably Trump's greatest weakness, his desire to be liked and avoid unpleasantness. Makes him vulnerable to being swayed by whoever speaks to him last. This why we the base need to keep the pressure up and support our people in the administration like Tom Homan.

There is probably a plan B down the road but maybe they need to separate the wheat from the chaff first or they could leave and come back the proper way so lots of no drama options if you look forward enough. If they do create a shortage then just create a program based on that need at least they would be vetted better for criminals and health issues. You can bet we will be eradicating the same diseases we once had under control again.

If I was successfully catching working illegal aliens at their jobs and that stopped when they figured it out, convincing them they are safe to work again would be a good way to bring them out of hiding, so they be easily caught again.

You wish

My family got to this country in the 1600s, I guess I am illegal

Don't think there were any immigration laws prior to the late 1800s.
