I don't know why we aren't dealing with the anchor baby problem as well. None of these people are citizens. You don't go to a foreign country, shit out a kid and think it's a citizen. This is bullshit.

“It’s true that all these people are deportable, but that doesn’t mean they should all have equal value,” said Cecilia Muñoz, a former policy adviser to Obama who helped shape the administration’s tiered enforcement approach.
“By crowding the courts with all kinds of people, you’re creating a resource problem,” Muñoz said. “If you apply that logic to local police forces, you’re saying that every robber and rapist is the same as a jaywalker. And then you’re clogging your courts with jaywalkers.”
This is exactly the kind of thinking that got us into this mess. They all have to go, it doesn't matter what order you do it in. If you start wasting time over which one has to go forst you'll never accomplish anything. This is a standard stalling tactic used to derail the immigration control system.
This is also a false equivalency. These illegal immigrants aren't being deported because they are a rapist, robber, or jaywalker; they are being deported for immigrating here illegaly. They could be the most brilliant Polish doctor in the world or best toilet scrubbing Mexican around, they all have to go back.

Due process (gotta check if they got papers, if they do if they're valid/real) to make sure we don't deport tax paying citizens is important. I believe they are over exaggerating when they say clogging the courts, i've never heard that argument once and I don't believe this person is honest

Trump takes ‘shackles’ off ICE, which is slapping them on immigrants who thought they were safe - The Washington Post
'Immigrant advocates and ICE often clash over immigration cases, and both sides frequently present incomplete versions of an immigrant’s case. '
'ICE has not carried out mass roundups or major workplace raids under Trump, but nearly every week brings a contentious new arrest. '
'But as ICE officers get wider latitude to determine whom they detain, the biggest jump in arrests has been of immigrants with no criminal convictions. '
'Immigrants whose only crime was living in the country illegally were largely left alone during the latter years of the Obama administration. '
'But in the vast majority of cases, ICE takes custody of someone after state or local police have arrested the person. '

Typical WaPo garbage. Middle finger to OP for tricking me into giving them a click. But since I was already there I read all of it I could stand.
37,000 arrests in 2017 is hardly a "FLOOD". No one knows the real number because they are CRIMINALS! But statistics tells us with high confidence that there are between 50 million and 70 million illegal aliens in the US. A best guess is about 65 million.
These invaders need to be rounded up by the MILLIONS - not by the thousands. It would not be a violation of US law to use the military to round them up because they are not American citizens. This is a WAR. America has been losing it for 40 years. It is time to get serious about fighting back.

I agree, we should use the military to get them out. This is war and Americans look like fools for letting them invade.
