    Don't worry! Carp will remind us that an example is not evidence!

We live in an age with great polarization; having a second set of eyes review a case seems appropriate to me.
      Oh please, we are speaking of the law as written, before final order of removal there is an appeal process.

      That being said, once the process has run its course, and deportation is still the outcome, then they should be deported. But only those on that list should be deported - not any illegal immigrant ICE stumbles across. Most of the objections I have seen are to the latter. I'm sure there are some objecting to the former. I would not be one of them and I would not agree with them. And attributing that to "Dems" is painting with far too broad a brush.
      In this last situation ICE only went after those with removal orders. And the lawless Dems did what they could to interfere. There is no way to work with such people, laws mean nothing to them.


      ICE targets a million people who have final deportation orders but remain in the U.S.

        Again - you are painting a false dichotomy. We can do both. We have the resources. We lack the will. There is no reason to have to choose between the two. ALL people in need of help should be helped in proportion to their need and within the limits of the resources of the provider of that support (a position which also makes the first statement clearly wrong).

          I assume you don't think you can prove Carpe's point wrong solely by predicting it. So what is your argument to support your idea that he is wrong (if you think so)?

            So there is no problem then. As I said - anyone slated for deportation should have access to an appeals process, and that should have had an opportunity to play out. If it has, then they should be deported. I'm not sure what your issue here is.

            Wow, Seer. That's amazing. All of the Dems went after ICE for these deportations, and stood in the way? That must have been a sight to see, given that there are over 50 million of them.

            I repeat - you are painting with too broad a brush.

              I'd be curious to know exactly what he thinks I am wrong about, since neither he nor Teal have yet accurately reflected any positions I have actually taken.

                When you have the speaker of the house, and others in leadership doing this, I'm happy to broad brush since these are the lawless Dems we have to try and get reform done with.

I'll leave you to talk to the illusion. Last word to you, unless you address something I actually said.

                    Except they are doing something about the border. The democrats want to let them in, give them free healthcare and welfare. But instead they should be fighting for the homeless and poor in our own country.

                    You repeating "we can do both" is nonsense because we are NOT doing both, we are doing ONE: focusing all our sympathy, energy and efforts on illegal immigrants.

                    Great. How about this, carp: Since I never say anything you like or "to which you can respond" why don't you save yourself a ton of frustration and effort and not reply to any of my posts going forward? And if I happen to reply to one of yours, just ignore me.

                        As best I can tell, we are doing neither. Pretty close to total stalemate. I repeat, we CAN do both. There is no need to create the false dichotomy..

                        And I am experiencing no frustration, Sparko. I simply respond to what I find interesting, and leave the rest. When someone is not accurately reflecting what I have said/posted, I point it out.

                          The point is Carp, this is the Dem leadership - telling people how to evade the law. How on earth can we do reform with such people?

                              What fantasy land are you living in Carp? Have you been listening to the news the last year? Or the democrat debates and news releases? They are campaigning for decriminalizing border crossings, free healthcare for illegals, and giving nearly everyone asylum status which gives them access to monthly funds and housing assistance. At the same time they are letting their cities deteriorate into plague infested slums.


                              Never?

                              And I am experiencing no frustration, Sparko. I simply respond to what I find interesting, and leave the rest. When someone is not accurately reflecting what I have said/posted, I point it out.
                              Basically you just ignore and handwave away anything inconvenient to your internal fantasy narrative of what you think the world is like.

                                Dem leadership is not "Dems." It's a few people with their own opinion. Not all Dems agree with them. As I said - too broad a brush.
