Well, yeah - hence the word "seems" in my sentence. I don't know your inner thoughts, so can only go by what you've posted. From the tone of your posts, there seems to be a complete lack of compassion for the situation which the deportation of a parent of a U.S. citizen creates. Is undocumented immigration against the law? Yes. But do you show the same disdain for the law breakers who are pardoned by our president - and by my estimation, who have committed much more egregious crimes?

I don't know about you, but I can much more easily find compassion in my heart for the deported parent than I can for the criminals who Trump pardons on a regular basis. It's hypocrisy on complete display.
Nothing I have said implied that I thought the woman was evil. But my level of compassion for illegal immigration has dried up. Compassion breeds more illegal immigration and human trafficking.

Oh, a nephew's baby momma
No, a brother's discarded paramour and the nephew's actual mother.

I don't know if it's true, but people are saying that she was a DACA recipient who had a kid with Leavitt's brother who subsequently came into a windfall (lottery or something), found a new woman but wanted full custody so then called ICE on his son's mother. Reported here for salaciousness. Sounds plausible, we'll see.

It was the Obama administration, and many with similar political ideas who ran the Biden administration, that tried to fundamentally change our country and abandon many established values. We came close to seeing a packed Supreme Court, the defunding of police, the removal of the filibuster, government controlled health care, a heavily regulated economy, the propagandizing of school children and shutting down moms who spoke at school boards, destruction of our border laws, the elevation of criminal illegals to rock star status, the persecution of pro-lifers and other Christians, an attack against our election system with an effort to stop the leading candidate for President from campaigning and the executive branch colluding with social media to defeat him, crazy lavish spending that caused runaway inflation, DEI, CRT, and other forms of racism established, an authoritarian government that would dictate what kind of car you could drive and what type of stove, and a Ministry of Truth. Trump won the election much because of his stance on deporting illegals while having those who apply legally and are legally approved welcomed to our country, controlling crime, and an improved economy. That's not going to change.

Although you may be trying to argue against my post, your response actually supports my point. Every president who enters the White House believes they have a mandate from the American people to reshape America according to their campaign promises. President Bush attempted this through his new conservatism, President Obama with his liberalism, President Trump in his first term, and President Biden as well. Now, President Trump is pursuing these goals again in his second term.

What do all these presidents have in common? Each time a new president assumes office, there is often a reversal of previous policies. This pattern illustrates the frequent shifts in American political dynamics, as voters choose to alter their preferences or switch parties. Over the past 100 years, there have been 26 midterm elections; in 23 instances, the president’s party lost, resulting in the opposition gaining control of the House. Similar outcomes will be anticipated for the 2026 midterms.

Are you unconcerned about the future of the Republican Party? Here’s what could unfold: President Trump now controls Congress, so for the next 13 months he will have significant latitude in his actions. However, in January 2027, Democrats are projected to take over the House with a 30–40 seat majority, much like in 2018. Although I and many independents may dislike it, Democrats will likely launch investigations, exercise oversight, summon the heads of the Department of Homeland Security, DOJ, and FBI, and initiate inquiries. Ultimately, they could begin impeachment proceedings and impeach President Trump for a third time. The Senate, without a 60-vote majority, probably won't convict him. My point is that unless the Republican Party starts considering the long-term, we may see history repeat itself as it did from 2019 to 2020.

This will occur during President Trump's administration.

And then come the 2028 election

Next DNC President of the United States will rescind most of President Trump’s executive orders, revers President Trump’s border security policy, and restructure or reduce the iCE agent and most likely the next DNC president will handle immigration as president Biden did.

You can pay attention to history and observe how the American electorate has responded over the past century, considering shifts in national mood, demographic changes, and the impact of presidential migration policies on future voters. Alternatively, you might ignore these realities and believe that what President Trump is doing will have a lasting effect. The decision is yours.

As I've said, the problem in Washington, and I've dealt with extensively with Washington corruption, is that politicians and bureaucrats are worried about how things might look, particularly for their own futures. Concentrating on who is going to win the next election soon after someone is elected rather than doing the right thing is a major problem. Trump doesn't shift policies each week, or change his accent when approaching different audiences, you know what you are getting. He was voted in not because people loved his personality, but because he took stances that most Americans supported. There are still hundreds of thousands of children lost by the Biden administration, only a portion of been rescued, and many dangerous criminals that need to be deported. The runaway inflation caused by outrageous spending needs to be kept in check. And Trump will continue to address these problems. As to Democrats, many radical leaders have tried to hide their agendas from the people (the border is safe, secure, and closed, etc.) The radical arm of the Democratic Party, AOC, Mamdami, Omar, etc. and the people who really controlled the Biden administration are trying to destroy many of the policies and values that made our country great. Most of our presidents shared at least some of those values. It is a matter of how the Democrat base reacts, will so many continue to vote Democrat no matter who runs and see our nation destroyed, or will they reject the radical progressive agenda?

Actually, being the first and only word of the sentence, it should be capitalized.

But I dont view illegal immigrants who just want to live, work, and be good neighbors as criminals in the same way as people who steal, kill, harass, intentionally defraud others, etc.
They are not the same. If they come here illegally and live as a resident with no criminal record besides being illegal, then they are not the same. However they are still illegal and should be deported. It doeant matter how long they have been here or how what they have done. They are illegal.

We don't have immigration law that offers different deportations for those who commit those crimes and those that don't. It is ultimately the most consistent law we have. If you are here illegally, you have to go.

No we don't. If you are illegal and a good guy you are still subject to the same deportation law as an illegal tgat is a bad guy.

Why shouldn't you be?
Those who commit crimes get expedited deportation. If you're not familiar with the DACA then you're just speaking from ignorance.

I was strictly speaking about general deportations. And generally it doesn't matter if you are a good person or a bad person. If you are here illegally you are subject to deportation. Period.

If this logic is applied, should the Cuban Adjustment Act be reconsidered? Over 90% of Cuban Americans who migrated to the United States did so without legal documentation. However, the Cuban Adjustment Act enabled them to obtain legal status.
