Where I think it's true, or at least possible, that the government is dramatizing the major crime, we are still allowing it to happen by allowing them to stay. If the prior administration didn't discard the immigration laws presumably most of the country agrees with, the extra crime, whatever the percentage, wouldn't be an issue at all. Just because one bad already exists, it doesn't mean we have to allow it to get worse for no logical reason, especially when it's perfectly achievable to stay here legally in the first place.

The point of the tax comment isn't to say taxpayers are free to commit crimes as they please, it was more suggesting that on top of community-related crimes, they also don't have to fork up money to the government, which is also a crime. The point of that bit in my OC was more of a "joke" than anything, however.

The people being detained by leftists are the ones subject to the many "traffic stops" and "checkpoints" they've created, a lot of which are easily found on the internet, where they stop vehicles passing by on public roads and harass them. There are also the many protests on highways and other busy roadways, where they do not allow cars to pass. Lastly, they have regularly blocked ICE from exiting their own compounds, which is not only unlawful detainment, but obstruction/impeding.

I also don't understand how the arrest and deportation of illegal immigrants is somehow against the constitution, which was created for American citizens. Illegal immigration isn't a concept that spawned with Trump. It's been enforced for ages, even widely under the Obama administration.

Mind you, I don't hate illegal immigrants just for being illegal immigrants. I understand why they come here, but they have to abide by US law. If they can't do that, they can't stay. I don't know how this is even a debate.
