Last week it was “deport all! They are criminals!

they are. (illegals) by definition. i still agree with this

so, youre wrong again.

are you going to learn from it this time?

Now Today, do you agree with him not deporting from farms and hotels?

no. not at this point

illegal? gotta go

out of respect for the legals who went through the processes and wait to get here

not very culty btw huh? meh, what do you care

@PurpnGold

It’s amazing to me how quickly you all change your positions based on Trump’s whims

Nothing has changed. If someone is caught in this country illegally, no matter how long they have been here, they can and should be deported.

With 20+ million illegals here in this country, it simply isn’t possible to deport them all. Target the worst of the worst and then go from there.

I’ve never wavered.

But you are certainly welcome to show me otherwise.

@PurpnGold

Last week it was “deport all! They are criminals!”

Today it’s “I agree that we should not deport ALL illegal immigrants”

You must have me confused with another forum member. But technically if they are here illegally, then they are criminals.

The policy change says a pause on raids, not deportations.

The MAGA that want all illegal immigrants deported as quickly as possible perhaps.

i said “bad” thing

and you forgot “to prisons”

1

I think if we start rounding up illegals and enforce
the send-them-to-prison laws already on the books,
millions and millions of others will leave the country on their own.

2

I think if we start arresting the criminals who hire them
and enforce the send-them-to-prison laws already on the books,
millions of them will immediately comply with the law, fire their criminal workforce and many of them will increase wages to hire legal employees and stay in business.

If that means I am MAGA, well, I guess I am MAGA.
(I hae alwaysavoided the title because I believe Donald Trump wants to spend too much money, artificially cut rates and do other liberal things.)

You left out “the higher wages will lead to higher prices for food and increase inflation.”

[Publius]

Someone must have reminded Trump he owns hotels, restaurants, and vineyards.

Probably that little whiner Eric.

[SixFoot]

Deport the violent ones/gang members first and foremost (use the scary body armor and such), and anyone else who so much as receives a traffic violation (use the judicial process).

I like it.

you hate inflation now?

Don’t MAGA want ALLL illegals deported or in prison?

I don’t necessarily believe all of them need to be deported. That simply wouldn’t be practical.

It’s amazing to me how quickly you all change your positions based on Trump’s whims

If you actually paid attention to the posts here you would have found over the last year or so many people who supported Trump wanted some exceptions. Some just wanted the flood released under Biden undone. Almost no one said stop all immigration. But go with your MSNBC stereotypes.
Nuances just complicate narratives.

Don’t worry. There is still schools, daycares, doctor’s offices, immigration hearings, etc

[thinkingman]

@Supreme_War_Pig

Don’t worry. There is still schools, daycares, doctor’s offices, immigration hearings, etc

are you justifying the illegality of those who are here illegally? based on their profession…?

Right because when you buy a $1 carrot in the supermarket the bosses give 99-cents to the workers right?

FACT:
Wages a teeensy weesy itsy bitsy part of food costs.
We could deport so much labor that labor costs DOUBLE and you’d hardly notice it in what you pay for a dozen eggs.

You know this. I know this. Only difference is your side needs to hope peole are ignorant of the facts, bedasue facts reveal you are wrong and I am right.

Hmmm

You sure about that?

[Gaius]

How much do you think he gets paid (hourly wage) per bunch of radishes? About 5 cents? about 1 cent?

Radishes are, right now $1.03 in Walmart.
If we add 1-5 cents to the cost of a bunch of radisshes at Walmart how much will they cost?

[PurpnGold]

At 5 cents that ~5% increase in price.

I don’t know about the rest of ya, but I’m hungry for some TACOs!

Yup.

That’s hypothetical of course, but is hows how struggling low-income families will be benefit, a 100% increase in wages and only a 5% increase in prices.

Definitely the greatest thing that any president ever did for his nation’s working class. Greatest idea in 2,000 years . . . put him on mount Rushmore. Name a state after him.

Agreed?

[Gaius]

Let’s continue.

A hotel room (or an airBnb) costs you $200 a night.
The chamber maid, an illegal, is deported and to replace her with a legal American worker, the hotel has to pay double what they are paying her.

How much the the price of your hotel room increase? Again, maybe 5%?
