        Being in the country illegally is a misdemeanor. They also pay more taxes then every major corporation, and are a vital part of this countries agriculture industry.

          It is so unethical to use them as cheap labors as if they are slaves. The Democrats supported slavery back then and now wants a new form of slavery.

            The only true thing in this post is that it’s unethical. Leftists actively want them to be paid better, given more rights and receive Healthcare to improve their lives. Republicans want to take everything from them and ship them off to random countries. Are you okay with the fact that Trump wanted to send these people to countries in Africa?

            Acknowledging the fact that our agricultural system would collapse without them is not in any way, shape or form an acceptance of their conditions. If you actually care about them as much as you’re pretending to, ask yourself why the current administration is going after the exploited workers while doing NOTHING to those who are exploiting them. Does that not seem odd to you?

            And that’s not even touching the absolutely braindead take that the left were the ones in favor of slavery. You have no idea what you’re talking about and are just parroting what you’re told to think by right wing influencers. Not only is it sad, but it’s a clear-cut demonstration of everything that’s wrong with the US. Facts don’t matter, reality doesn’t matter, you feel good destroying people’s lives and you refuse to let the truth impede that.

              Trump gave them time to self deport, if they choose not to self deport, it is really themselves to blame.

              The 2024 election results send a clear message that closing the border and massive deportation is the mandate. Trump is doing exactly what voters wanted. The left are acting like the 2024 election never happened, which is ridiculous.

            Man you like putting words in my mouth don’t you?

            I said the situation on the ground, where did I fucking advocate for REPUBLICAN owned businesses being allowed to enslave people?

            The fuck out of here with that nonsense. Like Soulg said. I’d rather these people be paid for their fucking work, and their bosses criminally prosecuted for wage theft.

              More like you don’t understand what I said.

              Anyway, we need to deport all these illegal immigrants so Americans citizens and legal residents don’t get to abuse their cheap labor.

                You realize the vast majority of the people that ICE are rounding up are literally here legally, and they are being grabbed at fucking court houses going to their legal cases, right?

                    Someone here under asylum is a legal immigrant. Someone here in a court case to determine their legal status is here legally until the court deems them in the country illegally.

                    This really isn’t fucking hard.
