While I give the Piggy Admin credit for border security as that was by far the best thing he has done. Now, this ICE chit shooting people dead in our streets (one was the wrong guy). These people had work permits and were the type of immigrants we want and need.(legally). So, we just shoot them dead in the street. One was killed by an "agent" shooting indescrimanately into the windshield of the car which is not protocol in any circumstances except for imminent death threat. The HAS to STOP. Oh, no, Piggy doubled down and cranked it back up. Anyone think this is ok? Biden didn't have anything to do with it.
Congress almost passed immigration reform but didn't because Trump wanted the politics. There is always an orderly solution that Trump dismisses.
It's more than trigger happy for me. The fact that ICE is routinely stopping minorities without cause and terrorizing them is unacceptable. And even more, it's ineffective.
Bull-hit. That bill would have codified the Biden practice of flooding the country with illegals. The other part was an Ukraine funding bill.
Don't bring weak ass -hit here.
So, is the immigration problem solved? It's not. It's just added chaos onto our streets. It still has to be addressed. Why? Because we do expect orderly. (Funny thing, 2A folks argue we all need guns for this exact situation)
"Show your papers, minorities" doesn't work for most of us. It's why ICE is unpopular.
** sigh **
SO much wrong in that post. OK, by point then:
"So, is the immigration problem solved? It's not."
So right from the start, you introduced the room to the retrospective determinism fallacy. The immigration problem is more than a half-century old, and some Congresses and Presidents have actually made things worse in scope and character. The actions by ICE and the DHS are overdue and for the most part restrained.
" It's just added chaos onto our streets. It still has to be addressed. Why? Because we do expect orderly."
That's the DNC spin and not winning over most anyone else. Frankly, the Democrats never seemed to grasp the growing public anger about illegals in gangs and the drug flow they brought - the 'Maryland Man' issue worked against the Democrats, and may still be hurting them as we approach the midterms.
" "Show your papers, minorities" doesn't work for most of us. It's why ICE is unpopular."
The Democrats never seem to tire of false Nazi analogies. It's old, stale, and only hard-boiled haters still buy it. The fact is that while most Americans are unhappy with the tragic deaths, they understand why these incidents are not happening with many Americans, including immigrant communities.
So Democrats are left with malicious stories and selective cop hate, and ultimately show no concern for legal immigrants and citizens hurt, even killed, by illegals.
Such a strange hill to die on.
There is nothing measured or restrained about the current approach. The administration openly admits that isn't their intention. That's how you end up with a situation where a 6 man tactical team is used to round up a non violent non felon Uber Driver that overstayed a visa. We killed an American citizen in the process. These are military tactics used for domestic enforcement and intentional intimidation.
I noticed you still ignore the problem of non-cooperation, often interference, from certain local and county officials (Democrats, of course), working to prevent LEO coordination.
Why do you hide that part?
Almost as dishonest as the lie that this is not about the illegals,
It doesn't happen if they're not pursuing Chuma doing their job and just act like Democrats.
Corrected.
And apparently you are a fan of local LEO ignoring the illegals problem.
You would defend anything this administration does so the facts of the situation are of no concern to you. Again, we sent a tactical team to pursue a non violent non felon who had already been detained and released during the first Trump admin and was in visa review status. Not MS-13, not Tren de Aragua, not murderers, not traffickers, but a damn Uber/Lyft driver.
Sort of like the early morning raids on the grandparents that wonder through the capital on Jan 6th.
Maybe you forgot all the times I argued about how Jan 6 wasn't an insurrection. Some of us, unlike OB, apply principles to all parties, not excuse them because the other guy did it.
I see Hypocrisy has entered the chat.
The current situation regarding enforcement of deportation laws is frankly unprecedented. All those comparisons between how ICE acted under Obama and now ignore the fact that under Obama local and state officials did not stand in the way, did not oppose, the enforcement of law. ICE agents were able to act in cooperation with other agencies, something the Left has actively opposed in the current term.
All these hypocrites who go after ICE now like to pretend they are using principles, even as they ignore the different conditions, the active hostility - Good and Pritti would be alive today if they were not militant antagonists of the federal agents, and the very selective media spin all matter in this day and place.
Those self-righteous critics must sure be limber, to pat their backs so much even as they throw dung at agents doing a stressful and dangerous job that voters demanded.
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier
