They are criminals. You just want to give them a pass on the first law they broke.
If you mean by crossing the border without papers? That's a civil offense, not a felony.
How much crime is good?
None, but pretending we can police our way to zero crime is fantasy. You want safety? You fix housing, schools, healthcare and jobs.
Do you support defunding the police?
I supporting funding solutions that work. If that means shifting money from bloated polices budgets, to services that reduce crime at the room, then yeah. Call it what you want, the point is safety and not slogans.
Those are good laws. Whats the problem?
The problem is they target poverty, and not behavior. You get fined for sleeping in pubic, or locked up because you can't afford bail, not because your a threat.
Bail reform failed by giving too many repeat offenders too many chances to be released early and charges outright droppeda
Bad implementation failed. Reform didn't mean let everyone out forever, it meant stop locking up nonviolent folks because they are broke.
Should illegal migrants be in the country?
They are already here; working, paying taxes, raising families, and being exploited. The question is: Do we want this country that treats people with dignity, or one that scapegoats them while billionaires loot it blind?
If police are the backstop, then it means everything else failed: housing, healthcare, jobs, education. So why are we pouring endless money into the backstop while letting the entire system rot?
crossing the border illegally is a crime, in every country on earth, and the punishment is deportationThey are criminals. You just want to give them a pass on the first law they broke.

another bullshyt ass talking point. illegals cost the country far more in public services than they pay in in taxes; they're exploiting the country right backShould illegal migrants be in the country?

A crime is a crime
Good we can get rid of illegals.
Great so why are you taking funding away from police?
Yes. Vagrancy laws maintain peace and order
It’s always implementation excuses with you types. Maybe the idea is bad?
What does that have to do with being in the country illegally ?
Yes. So the backstop has a purpose.
Asylum applicants are documented migrants. FYIA crime is a crime
And all crimes are not equal... crossing a border to escape violence/poverty isn't the same as sexual assault.
Good we can get rid of illegals.
You can’t just “get rid” of them like trash: it’s inhumane, unworkable, and bad economics.
Great so why are you taking funding away from police?
Because flooding police departments with more money hasn’t solved root problems. We’re spending billions to react to crime instead of preventing it.
Yes. Vagrancy laws maintain peace and order
Vagrancy laws criminalize survival when people have no other option. That’s not peace and order; it’s using the justice system to hide poverty instead of solve it.
It’s always implementation excuses with you types. Maybe the idea is bad?
If your kid fails a test because the teacher gave them the wrong material, do you say school’s a bad idea? No, you fix what went wrong.
What does that have to do with being in the country illegally ?
It has everything to do with it. You're treating immigration like a moral failing when it’s often the result of global inequality, war, or U.S. foreign policy. People are here because they’re trying to survive, and once they’re here, they contribute.
Yes. So the backstop has a purpose.
Sure, it does. But what we’ve done is make the backstop the entire structure. It’s like relying on an emergency room to treat every health issue in the country. The purpose of a backstop isn’t to carry the whole load, it’s to catch the exceptions.
