I struggle to see how this is a problem.
It's a problem because illegal immigrants contribute more to society and the economy than they consume. They also should have been allowed to become an American citizen as easily as anyone born here in the first place, and be treated the same as anyone under the law. Deporting them hurts everyone.
Keep moving the goal posts and you never will.
Which goal posts did i move? Why must Lemmings always reply with snark?
"Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command. The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!".
There has already been talk of revoking citizenship of residents. Legally here and not criminals, at least that haven't committed crimes here. You can argue that they committed crimes in their home countries but that's not what's being mentioned here. Even then, that's a minority within a minority. Should we deport women that broke sharia law? What about the man that killed the guy that abused his underage daughter and fled the country with his family to avoid retaliation. Maybe just the homeless people that came in search of a better life? These are made up examples but where do you draw the line. Either everyone is safe or nobody is. Extradition is a thing, sure but that's not what's being discussed. The fact that the conversation is currently "everyone is welcome except ____" means that the goalposts have already moved. We are now talking about exceptions which means that over time that list of exceptions will grow. How long before "only the _____ are welcome". Surely this doesn't end here. And I'm sure that every step of the way you will just sit there thinking, "yeah that makes sense".
"And then they came for me"
