- JumpCrisscross 1y agoIf there is anything Trump is doing popularly, it’s aggressively removing illegal immigrants from our streets. To the extent there is tolerance for Fourth Amendment violations, it may be from historic indifference to enforcing our immigration laws.

- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> aggressiveness is losing people Losing, but hasn’t lost. Point is if someone is proudly pro-Trump right now, immigration probably isn’t going to prompt introspection.
- krapp 1y agoThey gave him his second term, he doesn't need them anymore.
- ap99 1y agoThis is it, exactly. I used to be a very "live and let live" type of person. Then the relaxed "let live" part got abused. I've seen what happens first hand having lived in NYC for 6 years, and now living in London.
- mlrtime 1y ago100% And most don't realize that many EU nations have tighter restrictions on immigration now than the US after seeing what effect lax policies have on their nation.
- pjc50 1y ago.. and people who are legal immigrants, and people who've just left immigration court, and of course some actual US nationals. It's amazing the power of fear of crime to get people to demand the Federal government jackboot.
- ap99 1y agoThe people who are in the US illegally, 1000% yes.
- tclancy 1y agoNot the question that was asked.
- Zironic 1y agoWhat about the US citizens that also got hauled off by unmarked white vans?
- Dumblydorr 1y agoYou’re okay taking a massive economic hit, removing large amounts of population from the country? Who cares if they’re “illegal” or not? Why does it matter if they’re less criminal than US born, and harder working? And don’t give me, they use services, I work for Medicaid and they don’t get it. So why? You just dislike brown people?
- mlrtime 1y agoWhere is this massive economic hit? GDP and stock market are up.
- ben_w 1y ago> Where is this massive economic hit? GDP and stock market are up. Stock market recovered when Trump TACOed, it crashed hard when he tried to implement his actual policies.
- rsynnott 1y ago> stock market are up. Multitude of sins being hidden by the devaluation of the dollar there.
- mlrtime 1y agoSo same as it ever was? Or just still happening but hopefully at a lower rate of change.
