The single most important fact about immigrants

[Wilson23]

Illegals included, is that the U.S. would be IN NO WAY better off if they left. They contribute more than they cost and are no significant part of America's crime problem, and NOBODY ever comes here for WELFARE.

I was gonna say "...is that they're human beings" but then I remembered it's 2026 and we don't care about that shit anymore.

 

[Wilson23]

But we all know, especially those who will most stubborny deny it, that what it's REALLY all about is this:

And I still haven't seen anything -- not only in this thread, but in ANY thread on the PB -- to cast doubt on what I asserted in the OP.

Nor to cast doubt on post #3. Nobody really DENIES the racism, they just evade the question.

I personally feel like the current immigration/ICE stuff has been eye opening. I got to learn which of my friends and family would've been hiding jews under their floor boards during WWII and which ones would've been helping round the jews up.

And it's nice to know which people are which before it comes time to start hiding immigrants from ICE agents.

To be fair, MOST of the immigrants ICE arrests will not be sent to their deaths.

Some will.

To be fair, One is too many.

We may be sure some will die -- at the hand of either crime gangs or the government of whatever country they are sent to (not necessarily their own homeland).

I wish I knew(or cared) as little as you about what's happening. It sucks knowing how evil ICE and the current Trump regime is.

But hopefully your friends and family know you're one of those people, someone to be avoided and not trusted when it comes time.

I'm still not clear on WHY they deport immigrants to countries not their own.

 

[Ad_hominem]

Cuz concentration camps are efficient for inhumanely storing human beings while they slowly die from disease and famine.

Yw, btw.

NOBODY can make any real case for deporting them.
