No, they want to deport 8million illegals. They'd be more than happy if they self-deported tomorrow.

- Sohcahtoa82 9mo agoIf it was really about illegal immigrants, ICE wouldn't be raiding immigration hearings, nor would they be kidnapping legal immigrants. If it was about stopping violent criminals, they wouldn't raid restaurant kitchens and crop fields, where workers are trying to make an honest living for their family. It's nationalism and racism, full stop.
- mbesto 9mo agoThere's also categorically a WAY easier way to implement this - which is to criminalize and enforce businesses who employ illegal immigrants.

- gadders 9mo agoAgreed - the laws are in place but not enforced. Raid a few meat packing plants or farms or hotels and the message would get out.
- lovich 9mo agoHey for audience, your numbers include asylum seekers who came here legally right? Just want to point out that for conservatives the set “illegal immigrants” include, large numbers of legal ones because they generally thought the asylum process was too simple and shouldn’t count.
- seanmcdirmid 9mo agoIf they really really wanted to deport 8 million illegal immigrants, there are surely more effective ways than grandstanding a bunch of masked thugs. Obama did it, surely Trump can figure it out also? I know, I know, you guys never would admit Obama was doing it because he was doing it so discretely, which is why you want Trump to make such a show of it, I guess.
