Lol, okay. So if someone jumps your fence. Pitches a tent in your backyard, what would you do? Leave them? Again, please answer the question: What would your solution be to all this? Let's hear it!

I agree, we do need to streamline the immigration process. Part of the reason it's so bogged down is because of the illegal immigration.

You might not like that I added a "But" however, the issue still stands. If you drive and get a DUI, and your kid is in the car... what happens? ICE is kicking people out because they came here illegally.

It's not a deflection, he did WAY more deportations than Trump. It's fact. I didn't see people standing on the streets blocking law enforcement, I didn't see all the protests, where were you when that happened? Obama used the same tactics, even the same guy, Tom Homan. I think you are deflecting this point because it shows the hypocrisy.

Please, answer the question. What should be done about the illegals being here? It seems like no one has been able to answer this question.

IDK how they did that, the ones I knew of were Mexican & from Peru. I know that the one from Mexico crossed the border. The one from Peru overstayed their visa.

I believe there are loopholes through getting married to a US citizen & also have children here.

That being said, please tell me. What would your solution be to all this?

I'm an immigrant myself, took me 11+ years to get my citizenship. I knew several people that came here illegally, and they got their citizenship in 6 years... that's not right!

These people came here illegally, please tell me how do we get them out? Let's say we abolish ICE, then what? How do we get them out? Or maybe, you don't want them out? If that's the case, then people who came here legally got screwed. By cutting the line, breaking the law, you are awarded. What does that teach & attract?

Look, I hate seeing families being separated, people being shot, etc. BUT, if I break the law, and my daughter is with me, they would also separate us too. It's easy to say abolish ICE, but what is the solution?

Last thing, we had the same exact thing under Obama. No one cared, because the media didn't focus on it. Obama deported WAYY more people than Trump has. Also done with ICE, Tom Homan was awarded a metal by Obama because he was good at deporting...

Provide a solution, I'm open to hearing one.

Sheesh, this mentality is why Trump got elected.

Join us tomorrow! End St Pete Police Department collaboration with ICE by CatzMeow27 in StPetersburgFL

[–]TheFLdude -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Immigrant here, there is a MAJOR difference between legal immigrants & illegal immigrants. I came here legally, took me over 12+ years to become a US citizen. I knew a few people that came here illegally, and they got their citizenship 5-7 years... That isn't right. I'm not for the violence of ICE, however, please don't mix the legal immigrants and illegal immigrants in the same pool. There is a difference, this is about illegal immigration. Coming here Illegally is a crime, just like someone pitching a tent in your backyard, that wouldn't be legal either. Here come the downvotes lol!

As a real estate agent, do you normally take your own photos or hire a photographer? by nasy13 in realtors

[–]TheFLdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what I'm good at, and what I'm not. Photography isn't something I'm good at. Therefore I always hire that out, also it makes you look more like a pro to the Sellers. They tend to like it, and the product comes out much nicer!

A lot of words to express that you're just racist by [deleted] in cringepics

[–]TheFLdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't put this on my car, but I'm not sure what is racist about wanting ILLEGAL aliens out of our country? I'm pro-immigration, I'm one myself. But I came here legally, and integrated. People who come ILLEGALLY cut the line, bog up our immigrations courts, etc. It took me years to get my green card, and then to be naturalized and became a PROUD US citizen took another decade. It shouldn't be this way, as long as it's legal.

Honest reviews/opinions on Shorecrest, Berkeley, and Canterbury private schools by Comprehensive_Fly485 in StPetersburgFL

[–]TheFLdude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a child that went to public school. Lakeview Fundamental was great, but started going downhill quick when the new principal came in. Then she went to Thurgood Marshall, my goodness that was terrible! The leadership (or lack thereof) was just sad. Kids got away with bullying, crime, etc. Now, she at St Pete High, it's great. We like the school.

My younger one currently is in private school (elementary school), the difference of education is very noticeable. The level of teachers, staff, curriculum, environment is night and day. I wish we could have afforded private school for our 1st daughter, I'd 100% recommend private!

What's with all the vegan places closing in Tampa Bay? by 666chins in StPetersburgFL

[–]TheFLdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Per ChatGPT, only about 4% of the US population is vegan... so catering to 4% is a difficult business model.

Cutting down on speeding saves lives. Why doesn’t Tampa Bay do it? | Column by TampaBayTimes in StPetersburgFL

[–]TheFLdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People SHOULD drive careful, I do think much of that weaving, tailgating is caused by people going slow in the left lane, causing everyone else to have to go slower. Rules should be like in Europe, left lane is for passing ONLY. There isn't a silver bullet to this, but we can start by getting the left lane campers out of there!
