True that. Illegal immigration isn’t even a felony, it’s a misdemeanor.
When someone says that we need to start taking people’s children away forever, or send them into the desert without water to die, because they’re illegal immigrants, they’re revealing what they want to be able to do to people, for their own reasons. Enforcing the law simply has nothing to do with it.
Honestly, the issues associated with illegal immigration are so overblown. The country as a whole likely has a net benefit from it. But the right has convinced so many people that it’s the cause of all our problems, so people have gotten comfortable demonizing and dehumanizing them.
