Which of your points have I ignored exactly?
You're ignoring my point which is that similar things happen all over the world all the time and without any comparative data they are just anecdotes.
Is the Trump administration applying a different policy? Absolutely. Does that make the US materially less safe for most of us? Open question. Almost certainly not.
So yes, we're not going to have a productive discussion when I am coming at things from a fact based view point and you are presenting anecdotes as being relevant.
- locopati 2y agowhat they're doing at the border now, they'll do to citizens within the country later. so, yes, this makes the US materially less safe.
- YZF 2y agoMaybe yes maybe no. We had some of this in the previous Trump presidency and despite the fear mongering we got over it. The US has plenty of checks and balances it seems (I'm not American so easy for me to say ;) ). We also had democratic governments that didn't make any material changes to what are questionable immigration practices or in some cases made things worse.
