It's about preventing China from brainwashing the American people with an opaque algorithm that is designed to prop up Chinese interests and sow division amongst the American people.

And it's obviously working. We now have a sizeable minority of American citizens who believe the government has no right to deport convicted criminals who are in the country illegally.

You mean execute American citizens in broad daylight in the middle of the street? Because that's what they are doing. Or tell me, what crimes did the 5 year old they kidnapped commit?

For most, the deportation of criminals isn’t the issue. It’s the process and methodology being employed people are disagreeing with. It’s creating unconstitutional situations and chaos/death in the streets.

People like you overwhelmingly misunderstand the position of others and in making incorrect assessments create more noise to divide the nation further. You try it is “criminal” to lump together the cartel death squad and MS13 street gang type people together into the same cohort as people who simply came here illegally and have lived here peacefully even contributing to our society and economy positively.

Rights don't actually exist. That's a made-up idea to avoid the very real concept of human needs and putting liberation into that context.

The issue is you can't easily justify oppressing people if you have a finite checklist of needs. You clearly can if you use a nebulous debatable term like "rights".
