The White House posted a dehumanizing video Tuesday using the sound of detained immigrants being deported with the caption “ASMR: Illegal Alien Deportation Flight.”

      They waste resources, money, and prevent other people from coming legally. I care about the honest people who apply. Criminals can go to jail, sure, I see no problem with that. If someone stole your car, you want them in jail. If someone steals a few thousand dollars a month, living in a nice hotel in New York, on my money, yes, I want that person arrested.

        That isn’t really happening at a scale you need to be worried about. They are net contributors to your economy and commit crimes at lower rates.

        The only down side is some wage suppression in low-skilled areas like picking fruit.

        Lol, how? You mean the government wastes money trying to find/remove these people? Maybe the government should stop wasting them?

        Oh, look, you’re mad at the president but want to blame checks notes brown people. Racist
