rgio made this a binary discussion.  And you voluntarily replied.  So it is what it is.

At the very least, you are opposed to open borders, otherwise deportation is irrelevant as in "deporting the worst of the worst".  That is pure and plain simple logic.

But then again, you only gave a +2 response rather than state that you support deporting the worst of the worst and if you support open borders then your response means nothing.


Handling complexity is not really your thing is it? Here you are flailing around in a sea of chaos, clutching at straws that give you at least a semblance of certainty.

So, no, it was not rgio who made this a binary discussion. Rather, everyone was calling you out on your binary logic and you grasped at it, thinking, all hail the mighty power of binary logic! I'm saved! I can build my castle on the rock of the singular certainty that illegal aliens are bad and we, the legal citizens, are the good guys, and in this castle in the sea, I can place Trump at the throne!

Well, you're not saved. The sea is still chaotic and teeming with conflict and even here, on an issue that you think could not be more black and white,  your binary "with me or against me, everything else be damned" approach fails. Nothing is quite that simple. And your chosen saviour of the white race and Christian religion is a pedophile, serial liar who doesn't give a shit about anyone else and certainly not the church. If you are looking for moral certainty and ethical guidance you've chosen a peculiarly bad king to place at the head of your movement. 

My ex was a special needs teacher. There was a time just after the Kosovo war when Germany got flooded with refugees. She had a couple of them in her class. One of them had seen his family slaughtered in front of his eyes. In class this kid had a habit of hiding himself in the cupboard and defecating there. 
He was severely emotionally and psychologically damaged. Understandably. A lot of people are damaged for a load of different reasons. Every three or months or so in Germany you get reports of some Syrian kid, losing it and attacking people with a knife, or worse. The damaged people who do these things are among the "worst of the worst". Along with the drug dealers, gang members and other Group W types. 

Sure, some should be deported. Some just need massive care. Many will never be healed because the scars are just too deep. 
Is looking after them going to solve all these problems? No, of course not. But it is the human thing to do.

I'd also note that I think the same standard should apply regardless of immigration status. 




You're right, of course: Deporting the worst of the worst is a slap on the wrist. They need to be imprisoned. Maybe in their home countries, assuming we haven't soured relations with them so badly that those governments would let them walk right back to the US to continue whatever it was they were up to. So: jail for the worst of the worst, ideally in some other country, I don't care. That leaves not many that need to be deported and it certainly isn't a priority for me.

Now, onto your other concern ...

Here let's take a look at this one now.  I did mention that I had some tabs on this matter open for a few months but figured it wasn't worth bringing it up because no one wants to know the truth. 

I asked a pretty direct question, like "is the Earth flat", and you responded with "the fastest motorcycle speed ever recorded was at the Bonneville Salt Flats".  You appear willing to engage in incredibly detailed analysis of some issues, but I asked about your flip-flopping on the Constitution, and you must have exhausted yourself answering the illegal alien due process rules.

I'll throw you a bone and ignore the fifth Amendment...how about the rest?

The Constitution isn't a buffet ....choose what you like... it's a document that you either support or reject on the whole. If you support it, then you should have issues with this administration regarding ALL of the following:

• First Amendment: Protects speech and petition
• Fourth Amendment: Prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures
• Fifth Amendment: Guarantees due process 
• Fourteenth Amendment: Equal protection clause
• Article I & Separation of Powers: Congressional oversight rights
• Elections Clause (Article 1, Section 4) - states run elections
• Suspension Clause (Article I, Section 9) - protects habeas corpus
• Foreign Emoluments Clause (Article I, Section 9, Clause 8) 
• Domestic Emoluments Clause (Article II, Section 1, Clause 7)

So pick a side. Do you support the Constitution or the current administration. It's a binary choice.
 

So you present me with a binary choice of choosing between Trump or the Constitution, right ?  Pretty self righteous demand from someone whose basis for thinking about such matters is bad law is better than no law.  Which ironically is germane to this very topic we are currently discussing.  And then let us not overlook your total inability to size up Biden's mental health and if there ever was a case for the 25th Amendment of the Constitution, you defended against it.  At least until it didn't matter anymore.  So in my opinion, your three legged stool is missing two legs of support.  And just to be clear, I'm not bringing up Biden to compare him to Trump, it is simply just to question your ability to make sound judgements at all regarding the Constitution and your inability to trust your own lying eyes.

That said, since the immediate subject at hand is dealing with illegal immigration and the mechanisms to deal with the problem, I have presented a detailed summary and explanation of how immigration laws work since so many are flat out ignorant on the subject.  And the primary attacks on Trump and the issue itself have been what you and your side cling to the most, a lack of due process with the matter.  And the distinction that immigration laws are civil, not criminal proceedings, where the Constitution does not apply to most of the circumstances involved.

So to give you a direct answer to what you demand as a binary choice, I can and do support both Trump and the Constitution on the subject of immigration affairs.  They are not mutually exclusive.  I trust in the Constitution that the prescribed checks, balances and remedies provided by it will keep everyone involved headed in the right and proper direction.  Based upon your arguments so far, you have no faith in the Constitution being properly instituted and therefore want to bend it to suit your needs which among other things are based upon your prime directive that bad law is better than no law.

So I have presented a detailed explanation for how immigration law works and so far no one has said what is wrong with it.  Just accusations that I am racist.  So much for a detailed response.

So once again, here is the link to the summary.  Once again, if any of it is incorrect, name it and rebut it with your own cited work in support.

This is patently false.  It is a safe guess that at least half of the regulars here are for open borders and or Sanctuary Cities / States.

How can anyone with these beliefs support any kind of deportation ?  These things are diametrically opposed to each other.

How does deportation work with open borders ?  What is the point ?

Sanctuary Cities were established to protect illegals from deportation. They are a vehicle to shield illegals from formal law enforcement and its consequences with the primary consequence being deportation.

So go ahead and square that circle.
 
Once you answer this one I will go further with yours, again ...
