Because they are vital to the American economy, but hey any amount of death and destruction is worth it to prevent one crime. You would happily be homeless and destitute to stop someone from say passing a bad 20.
...for certain people
And this (as I expected) is where you've exposed yourself.
Ignorant, dishonest strawman. Do you have anything better?
Which is why we were right to block the so called refugees on the St Louis from living in the US. 1000 people, odds are one would commit a crime so best send them back to germany.
But they will commit some level of crime and so we are better off with out them. One crime is too many and we simply can't risk it.
If they committed ZERO crime, they should still be deported.
One foodborne-illness microbe is too many. Get rid of all food!
I prefer that we write some laws that makes sense. That we don't play games with immigration.
It was none of those things. Yes, more people equals more overall crime. That is true. Which is all your point that illegal immigrants adds to overall crime demonstrates. It goes to reason that if we want to reduce crime, than we should be in favor of decreasing the population by any means. Otherwise your point is a red herring.
The evidence was provided upthread
Which is what I've been saying for decades. If Republicans actually gave a damn about protecting American wages they would have been demanding that. So instead of jailing corporate farmers etc, they are going after some poor itinerant fruit picker, dairy worker or drywall hanger.
Oh, absolutely. 5+ years in prison, minimum.
Exactly. What they really care about is punishing people of color for.. being people of color. Immigration is just an excuse. Heck, even american citizens of color are getting punished with this.
According to Congress, illegal aliens are a net fiscal drain on govt resources.
With, or without, due process?
I think you play the race card as an excuse for being unable to come up with a better argument.
That's a testimony of a guy. This guy: https://plotagainstimmigrants.com/network/steven-camarota/According to Congress, illegal aliens are a net fiscal drain on govt resources.

Illegal immigrants are a net fiscal drain, meaning they receive more in government services than they pay in taxes. This result is not due to laziness or fraud. Illegal immigrants actually have high rates of work, and they do pay some taxes, including income and payroll taxes. The fundamental reason that illegal immigrants are a net drain is that they have a low average education level, which results in low average earnings and tax payments. It also means a large share qualify for welfare programs, often receiving benefits on behalf of their U.S.-born children. Like their less-educated and low income U.S.-born counterparts, the tax payments of illegal immigrants do not come close to covering the cost they create.”
