Democrats actively encouraged more than 10 million illegals to pour into the country during the previous administration. They lied about it and downplayed it for three years, and then (when election season rolled around) they talked tough about their plan to "seal the border"... which was another lie, as the bill they proposed would have allowed illegal immigration to continue at up to ~6X the historical average rate without requiring any action whatsoever to "seal the border". When the American people vote for mass deportations, those were called "fascism" and the basic enforcement of immigration law is actively, even physically opposed.

But an inconvenient process change has you clutching your pearls and crying "bad faith"? Yikes.

I'm curious what you think "actively encouraged" means here?

Okay so? Just saying "buh buh immigration!" doesn't demonstrate why the immigration is bad, which was the posters point.

Also, the fascism isn't enforcement, lol, and you know that. I hate people who try to be cheeky and dishonest and hope nobody is paying attention.

No, I know you've talked with people on the left. The problem is pouring tens of billions of our taxpayer dollars into ICE while they:

1. Do fuck all to improve the economy

2. Cause violence in our cities for no discernable gain

3. Have already shot and killed numerous American citizens

4. Regularly violate civil liberties because they have zero accountability

I mean, listen: you've won. We have the secret police, we've been deporting people left and right.

Well... is it better? Did it magically fix the economy like dumbass Republicans told you it would? Or is everything still shit?

Same shit as DOGE. "Ohh we just have to cut some stuff! Get those greedy Dems and their welfare state!"

Well, we cut it. Okay where's my check? Right guys?

Oh... or were we just duped. And maybe the reason you, and others, can't admit it is because your ego is bigger than your need for self preservation?
