Is this who should be the target of deportation?

It’s technically legal, but you’d like to see the government use a bit of discretion.

The cruelty is the point. It always is with legal rigorists.

People in this limbo should be the first in line for amnesty. She ( among others like her) should have been given amnesty in the 1986 Simpson Mazzoli bill.

I was under the impression that the Hyde amendment.which was past into law decades ago, made it illegal to use federal funds for abortion. Yet they use federal money for that anyway. The law of man is far from perfect

One of the children had a classmate who was studying for his citizenship test. His parents brought him to the US after he was born, and he had been educated in the same school system as those born here. As soon as he was 18, he intended to become a citizen, and wanted to be sure he aced the test.

For every story like this we have 10 stories of criminals being deported. This isn't godliness. Its politics. People hate Trump or Biden and will use anything to bring them down. I say its hate which motivates people to oppose deportaand but its not love for immigrants

Then you have the other side of the coin. You have the lawless rebels

Are you accusing those of us opposed to the regime's cruelty of being lawless rebels?

Im saying that refusing to obey the law or to enforce it is lawlessness and rebellion against God.

So American law is identical to divine moral law? That seems naive and wrong. All laws should be subject to the two great commandments, to love God and love our neighbor.

No. But obeying the immigration law is a Godly thing. I can understand if someone is fleeing for their life but most people come here because of American greed for money. Some are even criminals looking for hunting grounds

Cruelty is the point. She was adopted by a US citizen. This is not some lawless person who needs deported.

Trump lied when he said they'd deport the worst of the worst.

Trump can be regarded badly has he has a life long history of fraud in business. It wasn't just his taxes that he lied about. He defrauded students of his Trump University and used the Trump Foundation as personal income. He lied to his wives having cheated on the first with the second and cheated on the third with a porn star. He is a convicted felon for a reason. There is nothing to respect regarding him and he has a history of racism. I will not respect someone I see as very corrupt.

His administration has deported many and is holding people in private ICE facilities who do not belong there. This woman does not deserve deportation.

Democrat politicians foster and promote sexual perversion and even want to give puberty blockers to children. They teach people to covet what the rich have. They accuse innocent people of racism. (Im referring to republicans not trump)

Why dont we criticize them all? Why choose sides?

This kind of horror is simply testing what Trump supporters will put up with. If he can deport this person he can deport ANYONE. It's to see if people will excuse this (who would?) That's the plan.

I thought the plan was to enforce law and order and keep democrats from expanding their voting base with foreigners

People fall through the cracks. It happens. But democrats seem bent on making Trump look evil here. I dont like Trumps version of Christianity but I dont like falsely accusing people either

For us conservatives, the worse it gets, the less of us will vote or vote minor parties. We know our nation is doomed either way.
