If Harris promised to round up illegals and do mass deportations or if she tweeted threats against them or spread lies about illegals would that satisfy you? Would you like Harris for doing that? I really do not like lies and violence.
Instead, wouldn’t it be great if a bipartisan immigration bill were written by Congress to implement better border security? Wouldn’t that be a better solution? What if Harris said she would sign that bill?
synthesis is even more right wing than synthetic.
So was the whole “I live a simplistic lifestyle” a load of shit?
Maybe, but the ‘migras hijacking school bus’ story certainly is.
So we are at a level of ad hominem attacks? The topic i
Of this thread is illegal immigrants and crime.
I made an observation and asked a question. Which of those two things was an attack?
why dont you explain how you came up with this, and I have to defend myself, on something completely off topic.
I’ll admit my point was very trite, simplistic. It was in response to something that was the same.
Sure. You’re new persona is much further right than your old one so naturally I am questioning everything you’ve told us.
Maybe you just took a hard right recently.
If you are looking for my personal stance, you can just send me a message.
Did he say how? A while ago Vancouver mayor was elected on, among many, many other promises, that he will end homelessness. As expected, he did nothing.
Funny you should ask! The guy left a handwritten note on the door hanger and left his cell phone number saying to be in touch.
So I texted the candidate and said, “I’m sorry I missed you. I would like to know your plan to end homelessness in our town.” I was polite. I said, “thank you”
He texted back “no texting. Call me.”
I didn’t want to call him, so I texted, “no thank you.”
Then he texted, “Come down to next city council meeting and meet me and we can talk.”
I have no energy for that hassle, and I have no time for tomfoolery.
If I don’t want to endure a whole telephone convo with this guy, what makes him think that I want to go down to city hall to get information from him about his homelessness plan?
So I guess he doesn’t get my vote and I won’t know his plan to end homelessness.
My question for this thread: how did the murdered refugees end up sleeping in the stolen car? If you want to prevent that particular situation, you need to trace it back. What are the facts? There’s an interesting and tragic story there, for sure. We might be able to learn something useful if we knew that story.
Trump’s plan to do mass deportations is a no-questions-asked approach. Who gets swept up in the deportation? I assume it will be people who speak English as a second language, people who look foreign, people who live in certain communities— they will all get treated the same even though the individual citizenship status is different.
Mass deportations is a crazy idea.
He campaigned on mass deportation of 11M in 2016. That didn’t happen.
Same playbook, same stooge.
Being a president of the USA is a serious endeavor, and we should take candidates seriously, even when they lie or break oaths.
Stand Back and Stand By was a statement we should have taken more seriously.
Have verification of that statement? Also interested in deportation numbers Trump vs Biden admin. Venezuelans are not the only ones I see here… hatians and Turkish too. I keep asking myself why are they here, the furthest point of their origin, vs somewhere like florida. This distance to travel is not cheap
Google is your friend synthetic.
Maybe Trump just misplaced the decimal point on his 11 million deportations promise.
If only you had access to a google machine.
The Biden administration took office amid heightened debate in some circles over the merits and tactics of deportations, yet it is on track to carry out as many removals and returns as the Trump administration did. The 1.1 million deportations since the beginning of fiscal year (FY) 2021 through February 2024 (the most recent data available) are on pace to match the 1.5 million deportations carried out during the four years President Donald Trump was in office. These deportations are in addition to the 3 million expulsions of migrants crossing the border irregularly that occurred under the pandemic-era Title 42 order between March 2020 and May 2023—the vast majority of which occurred under the Biden administration. Combining deportations with expulsions and other actions to block migrants without permission to enter the United States, the Biden administration’s nearly 4.4 million repatriations are already more than any single presidential term since the George W. Bush administration (5 million in its second term).
Synthetic, here is a current Associate Press story from San Diego (that’s us!) discussing Trump’s promises of mass deportations.

More reporting to Congress.

Two law enforcement officials familiar with the data told NBC News many of the migrants on ICE’s nondetained docket, including serious criminals, crossed into the U.S. under previous administrations, including that of former President Donald Trump.
Why didn’t Trump stop them and throw them out?
Another interesting part of the data was that from mid-May 2023 through the end of July 2024, DHS removed or returned more than 893,600 individuals…compared to only 267,258 under the Trump administration in FY 19.
It’s almost as if we need a bipartisan immigration bill.
The $118 billion bill, called the Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, sought
significant changes in border policy. It included money to build more border barriers, to greatly expand detention facilities, and to hire more Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agents, asylum officers and immigration judges to reduce the years-long backlog in cases to determine asylum eligibility. It sought to expedite the asylum process, essentially ending — in most cases — the so-called “catch and release” policy whereby migrants are released into the U.S. pending asylum hearings. And it would have increased the standard of evidence needed to win asylum status.
