The interesting thing is that if you choose to deport or enforce immigration policy at a wide scale ... almost by default you end up clogging up the system so that even if you want to emphasize dangerous / criminals ... you can't because you clogged the system with a volume of non criminals. Now you've de-emphasized dealing with criminals.
- readthenotes1 2y agoThat's why there's no massive sweeps like fear mongers promised. Even with the approximately 100,000 that have been rounded up since late january, my understanding is that holding facilities are full in the US. -- The other side of this is that if the ~15 million people in the US illegally were to simply turn themselves in, it would cause such chaos that Congress might finally decide the problem is no longer more valuable to keep than to address. Malicious compliance is a powerful tool ...
- duxup 2y agoI think the no massive sweeps is that there's just not capacity to do that ... not at a super massive scale.
- readthenotes1 2y agoRight‽ And holding cells are just part of it
- jeetoid 2y ago> Now you've de-emphasized dealing with criminals By any reasonable account, criminals were already de-emphasized. A woman was burned alive on the subway by an illegal immigrant. That only happens when law enforcement has been categorically denied the opportunity to punish law breakers of all stripes.

- dttze 2y agoIf we locked up and removed all white men, we'd have a lot less rapes too.
- quickslowdown 2y agoThis is so incredibly naive I have a hard time believing you're serious. I guess you're right, it wouldn't be immigrants committing crimes. It'd just be regular, everyday Americans, who also commit a shit ton of crimes & violence.
- jeetoid 2y agoI give you an example of one of the worst public crimes in recent memory, that was only possible because we’ve been shoddily enforcing deportations
