we arrest criminals... and punish them following the laws of the country

illegal aliens are deported because they are not US citizens, as such, they fall outside US jurisdiction, we are returning them to the country that has jurisdiction over them

We have a church in North Carolina who was telling on the news about this lady who they are harboring who has been in this country for years. She has been ordered to leave. What I noticed is that she has made no effort to acclimate. She spoke no English whatsoever in the interview. If she really wanted to be a citizen, wouldn't you think she should be speaking our language. If I remember correctly, she had been here 25 years. And we are supposed to feel sorry for her when she makes no effort to fit in.

I don't have to like his EOs to support them... neither do I have to like paying taxes to support paying them because it is the law

You need to apologize for that remark. How dare you! Wanting our laws to be upheld has nothing to do with color. You can save your guilt trip for someone who swallows your crap. We have been more than fair to these people. Many countries would have put them in prison. We paid for their housing, medical, education, etc. and they repay us by flying their flags on our streets. You illegal lovers are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites.

When an American citizen breaks the law, their children have to live with their lives being in upheaval. DACA's parents broke the law and we give them privileges our own citizens don't have. And we have people like you trying to shame us because we don't like our citizens being treated unfairly by having to pay for their mistakes. It is about to bankrupt our nation.

no, I don't support punishing minors to the full extent of the law

what happens when they are no longer minors? I don't mind prosecuting them at that point

Why bother "acclimatizing"? If she was in the US illegally there was no path to citizenship. I'm surprised I have to tell you that.

and you are supporting her staying here? without a path to citizenship?

what exactly do you have in mind for her future? that she keeps hiding out in church until she dies?

It seems really bizarre to me that the US would kick out people they need, like physicians.
Please... ... Out of the 800,000 DACA beneficiaries you could probably count the number who become doctors on the fingers of one hand. This is called propaganda, and you fell for it.

“"Estimates have shown that the DACA initiative could help introduce 5,400 previously ineligible physicians into the U.S. healthcare system in the coming decades to help address these shortages and ensure patient access to care," AMA's letter said.”

Major doctors group: Ending DACA would make doctor shortages worse
