More than half of Americans support mass deportations of illegal migrants: poll

[Bradskii]

What? I said we should ban those who want to destroy our country. That means those who shout "Death to America"...

Yeah, all those people marching across the border chanting 'Death to America'. I find it hard to believe as well....

More than 7 million migrants have been encountered by US Customs and Border Protection agents along the southern border since Biden took office in 2021, the latest CBP data show, including 961,537 in the current fiscal year.
Biden, for his part, has repeatedly tried to blame former Trump for fueling the crisis by blowing up the Senate’s bipartisan border security bill earlier this year.

More than half of Americans support mass deportations of illegal migrants: poll

Fifty-one percent of those polled said they would support booting the undocumented immigrants, according to the Axios Vibes survey by The Harris Poll released Thursday.

Do you think Joe will make some gesture or excuse, perhaps say he wanted to stop the border crisis but his lawyers said he couldn't legally do it?

What would Jesus do? Would Jesus have them deported?

Send those on student visas back to their own countries, if they claim those countries are so much better than let them go to their own excellent schools. There has been some pullback, they want to get away with as much as they can without suffering any consequencs. Just like teenagers throwing rocks at Israelis. Here's an example:

Group that held Dearborn rally says 'Death to America' chants were wrongful

The group that held a controversial protest in Dearborn on April 5 has issued a statement in response to criticism from local Arab American leaders.

I believe that Jesus Christ would not have allowed the laws to be broken by massive illegal immigration.

Matthew 25:37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’


40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

Do you honestly believe that the context of that great passage of Scripture is talking about thousands of people illegally crossing into a nation on a daily basis?

The anger and fear towards the stranger is to be expected. The plan is to find a scapegoat and cast all of the troubles onto that scapegoat, then expel the scapegoat. I posted the words of Jesus, I did not interpret his words. The words speak for themselves. Treat the stranger as if you would treat God. It is a positive message, not one of hatred and fear.

"The stranger" is singular. "The stranger" in the words of the Lord Jesus Christ is not talking about millions of illegal immigrants who broke the laws of our country. Jesus was not affirming that we ought to be perfectly okay with the massive amounts of human trafficking which has been happening across our nation's borders.

We would treat our God the way we treat the ONE stranger Jesus spoke of....and nobody else. Good stuff. I wish that stranger was still alive so I could treat him with kindness and mercy. Tough luck for the other strangers.

You are misinterpreting that passage of Scripture out of context.

Do you believe that the Lord God is okay with the massive amounts of human trafficking bringing in illegal immigrants across the borders?

I heard they were gonna take in migrants from Gaza. Which is a terrible idea, considering their religion is Islam and they already blame the West for what's happening to them in Gaza right now under Netanyahu.

Who here thinks it's a good idea to take in migrants from Gaza?

Much better to take some Jews. You know, the ones who deny Jesus' divinity.

Denying Jesus' divinity doesn't historically excite any Jews to perform terrorist attacks on western nations.

From the cited April, 2024 Axios/Harris poll:

Half of Americans — including 42% of Democrats — say they'd support mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, according to a new Axios Vibes survey by The Harris Poll.

"Mass deportation" is not defined. It's apparently left to the respondent to interpret what a mass deportation is. 2 million? 5 million? 10 million? 40 million?

Also, the Biden Administration has been deporting illegal immigrants at roughly the same rate as the Trump administration.

Axios also notes:

Between the lines: The survey found discrepancies between Americans' perceptions of immigration and the reality established by data.

• 64% wrongly believe immigrants receive more in welfare and benefits than they pay in taxes.
• 56% wrongly believe illegal immigration is linked to spiking U.S. crime rates.

Reality check: Individual instances of violent crime by undocumented individuals drive headlines. But data doesn't show that undocumented immigrants are more likely to commit crimes.

Much better to take some Jews. You know, the ones who deny Jesus' divinity.

This has to do with what worldview someone has, not how they view the Divinity of Christ.

I'll tell you right now my world view has far more in common with the typical Jew than with the typical Gazan

The typical Gazan thinks I don't have the right to live and they believe it their duty before God to kill me.

The typical Jew doesn't actually think this, so I'd much rather have them for neighbors. You know, If there's a choice I'll go for the people who want to live like me, who value life and freedom.

How is that possible when the Biden admin has allowed approximately 8 million illegals to enter and remain in the U.S. since he took office?

Reality check: Individual instances of violent crime by undocumented individuals drive headlines. But data doesn't show that undocumented immigrants are more likely to commit crimes

That misses the point. When an act of crime is committed by an illegal alien it is that much more outrageous since it never would have happened had said alien not entered the country in the first place. You are defending crime (even) violent crime.

 

[Bradskii]

Denying Jesus' divinity doesn't historically excite any Jews to perform terrorist attacks on western nations.

If you wanted to say that you didn't want Muslims because, you know, they're terrorists, then it would have been easier just to say it.

 

[Bradskii]

Better kill them first then. Is that the idea? The toll is mounting. A long way north of 30,000 so far. You must feel so much safer.

 

[friend of]

Talk about putting words in someone's mouth.

Also, frightful projecting by yourself.
