    Once again, for those in the back of the class. People who enter, surrender themselves to ICE as soon as they see an agent, and request asylum aren't entering illegally. And it's funny how some don't want to follow our asylum laws, but claim we need to deport 11 million because we must blindly follow the law!

    I continue to ask people operationally how this is going to work, without costing a ton, hurting the economy, or increasing government spending. I’ve not heard any good answers. This is just such a huge lift I really doubt this admin has the will or ability to go as far as many here want them too.

    Wait, did your feelings just tell you that seeking asylum is against the law now? Because, if so, your feelings are lying to you. Now go ahead and dig the hole deeper.

    Once again, for those actually interested in reading and educating themselves, this link explains that those who come here, surrender to an ICE Agent, and request asylum are not here illegally. This concept shouldn't be too difficult to understand. But asylum seekers have a right to be in the US, legally, up until their asylum hearing. That's the law. And if we are going to follow all immigration laws, this one needs to be included.

    And it's the asylum seekers, here legally, that get things like housing assistance. Especially since the law says refugees must be in the country a full year before they can apply for a green card to be allowed to work legally.

    Again, our asylum laws could use an overhaul. Such as more funding for judges so the wait for a hearing isn't excessive. Asylum seekers shouldn't also have to wait so long for a green card. And asylum seekers who have found work, aren't breaking any other laws, and are gainfully employed should be allowed to stay if they pay for a guest worker visa.

    So you would have no problem deporting those people then?

    A better option would be give them a green card and allow them to work. If they are gainfully employed by the time their hearing comes around, if they are rejected for asylum, allow them to stay on a guest worker visa.

    So you enjoy splitting up families, causing hardships for business owners, and making everyone pay more for things like groceries?

    Although he hasn't responded yet, he apparently believes that punishing undocumented immigrants for being in the country illegally is necessary regardless of any hardship that mass deportation may cause and that includes damage to the US economy.

    To be honest, since America needs them as laborers, I would prefer them to be fully documented, regulated and taxed. A "win" for everyone there. Including the American business communities and consumers.

    But to answer your question: yes, I would be more comfortable deporting them if they were confirmed to have committed a crime.

    Because there's a huge difference between someone who respects and adheres to the law, and someone who knowingly breaks the law. Someone who disdains and regularly breaks the law should indeed be considered a criminal, who should never be allowed to be President possibly not be allowed to pick lettuce or work construction.

    My posts are always totally awesome, but upon reflection, this segment above is even better than I had realized;

    We have a ton of people who enthusiastically voted as POTUS a guy who was found guilty of 34 felonies, indicted for appx 60 more, and has a tremendous and obvious record of both disdain for the law and committing crimes......

    .........yet those same people are absolutely livid that "lawbreakers" are allowed to pick lettuce, haul shingles, clean dirty dishes, or many other frequently menial tasks.

    That irony and shameless hypocrisy should NOT be ignored.

    Let's not forget these too. Who needs affordable fresh fruits and vegetables anyway?
