It will be cheaper in long run. Painful at start.

I am willing to take care of the problem. You are worried about what others might think.

What excuses am I making?

I am talking cost.

What is the economic impact of removing 10 million people from this country and what would be the law enforcement costs for doing so?

I agree that having millions of undocumented laborers is not a tenable situation, but I see different solutions like work visas and a move towards legal status as being the solution that preserves the economic benefits of having them in the labor pool while removing the illegal aspect that can encourage violent criminals from immigrant communities who cannot poke their heads out to the US Justice system.

Fair enough, still surprised to see you give carte blanche to the federal government but cant argue with your honesty.

I foresee a repeat of the Patriot Act, cons fully supportive of anything a Trump administration does to enlarge government to solve the problem of illegal immigrants. Then once that framework is in place, denying ever supporting it when dems get into office and use that same framework in a way they do not agree with.

For the record I was against the Patriot Act from the beginning but everyone parroted what Hannity was saying at the time “nothing to hide nothing to fear”. Oh my !!!

Did the DOJ consider the effect on families of those they prosecuted for January 6? No doubt there will be hardships brought about by enforcing our laws.

And this is one of the disagreements to be resolved by the upcoming election, and perhaps negotiations on positions after that.

That’s just us picking up a deferred cost we have already incurred.

Besides, I am part of “everyone” and I think its cheaper than what we’re doing now.

Please post where you’ve condemned your party’s actions? This has been going on for years so I’m sure there’s plenty or…is there not even one?

Condemn them for what?

What you should be asking is what are they costing us annually?

The issue is a $150.7 billion one, shared between federal and state governments, and that’s just one year.

How Much Do Illegal Immigrants Cost the U.S.? - Newsweek.

It is far less to remove them than to go the route libs have this nation on.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION! THAT’S WHAT!

Wow. A Newsweek Article quting a study from FAIR without any sense of irony.

Woof.

I am sure that they took into consideration things like the labor pool for farm work… or construction which has a lot of immigrant laborers in those sectors.

I am sure that they took into account that they spend the money that earn back into the economy at a high rate.

I am sure that they took all of these benefits into consideration.

Instead of spending a ton of money hunting down these people with an expansion of the police state… give a legal laboring status to them and they will pay even more taxes into the system than they already do and be able to contribute to the economy in a legitimate fashion.

What the proposal that Trump is wanting means that the government will spend billions of dollars to remove millions of people from agricultural, construction, maintenance, hospitality, food service et al… jobs and all of the economic activity that they generate.

Surely there is a cheaper way to deal with the issue.

Notice the clause calling for the end of the weaponization of the government against the American people as opposed to use the weaponization for revenge.

LOL, I’m not even sure what that means. They should focus on the easy stuff first, like 1, 15, and 17. A lot of the other stuff isn’t going to be easy. But sounds good.

Only your partisan bias is injecting Christianity into it. Because they said freedom of religion. They did not do as you and single out one religion.

And that’s only the money cost.

The number of lives ruined by criminal acts by illegals is even worse.

Really?

Because they call out freedom to read the bible and pray in schools but make no mention of other religions. Will student be allowed to read the Koran, pray to Mecca? What if a child has parents who are Wiccan and want their child to pray to the horned god and mood goddess?

If one religion is allowed then all must be. The government cannot promote one religion over another.

Christianity is not the only religion to use a bible. Nor is Christianity the only religion that prays. In fact they did not mention Christianity at all.
Many democrats are not only showing lately how much they hate Jews they are also showing how much they hate anyone that does not worship at the democrat alter. Your post is a perfect example.
