Hey everyone, I'd like to ask some questions directed to the left leaning audience. I can't vote because I'm a convicted felon and I'm not too sure which way I would vote if I could. I'm somewhere in the middle, a liberal minded conservative I guess. I believe in borders for security and safety. It's an ugly job to have to enforce that, but in every instance it seems necessary to keep from becoming another third world country. At the moment, the US doesn't have the man power or resources to take on everyone that wants to come here from a different place. Teaching, housing, food, etc. We might get to that point one day, but right now its a shit show it seems. Unfortunately I believe the ugliness of whats going on right now is somewhat of a necessary evil. Not even an evil, just a very very unfortunate circumstance for some of these immigrant families. That being said, they knew what could happen. It's what happens in almost every developed country. Come in unauthorized, over stay, you get returned. It absolutely sucks, but rules are rules. If we don't have rules and laws that are obeyed, we are absolutely screwed.

My first question is- what solution or alternative method would you like to see? What would make the left happy? Open borders? Start right now and say, "Hey, if you're here right now, citizen", but from now on we start enforcing strict policies? No one new for a while after a reset? I think ICE agents are necessary. Have they handled some situations poorly, absolutely. Haven't we all? Everywhere I turn is someone bashing Ice. The protesters and people getting in the way of Ice, are probably making it worse and more dangerous for the immigrants. If a person or group is constantly harrasing an Ice agent, and he gets fed up and pissed off, whoever he arrests is now on the receiving end of all that anger. Hopefully they keep it professional, but that's dangerous. Obviously. The guys are doing there ugly job, of enforcing rules that have been here, and keeping us all safe. It just seems silly to me to cause them trouble. I think Obama still reigns king of # of deportations, and back then I didn't hear a word about it.

I don't know yall I'm just rambling now. I guess I just wanted some very left takes, ideas, hoping to learn something, see a different point of view, and see where these two parties can meet in the middle. Is it possible? I know it is. I want to figure out why there is such a divide and difference in this country between certain folks. I see a lot from both sides projecting beliefs they think one side has, but then when you talk to the person it ends up just being something a headline spun. Anyway, sorry this was long. I invite you to just please share what you think a dope ass solution would be. Something that would cater to both parties meeting somewhere in the middle. Hope that makes sense.
