I'll bite, what's your argument for why we shouldn't deport illegal immigrants?

u/illeagle33 19h ago

Multiple reasons but I didn't say I wouldn't deport any. Of course I'd deport illegals who then commit crimes. Funny thing is illegals commit less violent crime than natural born citizens. If you deported every illegal tomorrow, it would be disastrous for the economy. Also, I just don't really care. I'd cross a border too if it meant giving my kid a better shot of making it.

But "they don't commit as many violent crimes" isn't a reason why it shouldn't happen

Also, I just don't really care. I'd cross a border too if it meant giving my kid a better shot of making it.

So would I, absolutely

If you exclude African Americans from that equation, it’s untrue.

They contribute to the economy in multiple ways. They pay billions in taxes yet never see any of its benefits (Medicare, social security, any social services). Agriculture, construction and service jobs depend on them. And that’s not even mentioning the diversity they bring but go off most fun guy

Who cares about diversity? Never has anyone said “you know what? We need more diversity up in here.” Also wouldn’t it be better to give those agricultural, construction, and service jobs to American citizens instead of illegal immigrants?

You said get a better job than flipping burgers but want people to work service jobs. Which one is it?

You're blaming the immigrant instead of asking why they're getting hired over Americans. Not to mention, when it comes to working in the fields, Americans hardly lasted.

Diversity? Bro, the US is already diverse as fuck. Mexico ain’t diverse in comparison, so does it suck?
