Framing it as a race based issue when it's not is outrageously disingenuous.
Tom Homan made it a race based issue
Are you okay with supporting human traffickers indenturing immigrants into forced servitude?
No, but you seem to be. what you are advocating does not address that issue. By making the victims the targets of detention, you motivate them to stay in hiding and silent on the abuses they suffer.
Are you okay with Sanctuary Cities denying immigration retainers and performing catch/release/cashless bail on individuals that were picked up for crimes like murder, assault, sexual abuse?
If that were happening, I would not be OK with it. Fortunately, that only happens in the wet dreams of right-wingers.
Are you fine with a percentage of ille- (sorry, "undocumented") immigrants committing serious crimes and being allowed release back into the public?
see above
When you make everything about race without exception,
pointing out blatant racism is not "making everything about race".
that's part of the problem, because you've over-simplified the issue to sheer absurdity and show a willingness to ignore legitimate problems.
that's funny coming from the person peddling wild stories about immigrant murderers being released on cashless bail.
And if you want to get down to calling non-violent and otherwise law-abiding "undocumented immigrants" victims.
Citizenship status and victim status are separate concepts. If someone's rights are violated, they are victims. You can challenge the severity of the violation and who bears responsibility, but not the status itself.
It's fairly obvious they should have gone through the visa process.
You know they are picking up visa and green card holders, right? A lot of people are tryin to do it the "right way". People are getting grabbed at courthouses and government offices to work on their status. American citizens have been deported.
But when you break laws, you need to be held accountable.
Really? Like, rape and insurrection? How about violating someone's constitutionally enumerated rights? When do those lowlifes get held accountable? Spare me your fake "law and order" pearl clutching.
That's how the world spins.
Rich white men get away with whatever they want and army of bootlickers excuses it. Yes, that's the way it spins. Some of us want to put a stop to it.
When you don't enforce the law and you make it only about the race bait,
Again, the goons you are simping for are breaking the law and said they are targeting victims based on race.
you apparently don't take seriously the same immigrants being used effectively as slaves to smugglers that brought them in,
Again, these heavy handed tactics that force the victims into hiding are not what addresses that
much less any crime that follows from not caring about how porous the border is.
The Canadian border? Because it is easier to cross that than the Mexican border. Not to mention that at least 40% of "illegal" immigrants here are on expired visas. And some, like Elon Musk violated the terms of their visa. Others, like Melania Knauss lied on their applications. Funny how they are never targeted. I wonder white that is.
The reality is, undocumented immigration is not an issue at the border. It's a policy and business issue.
Point being you focus on calling them victims based off an absurd hyperbole,
Their rights are being violated. That's not hyperbole.
but don't even acknowledge how allowing the immigration issue to explode as much as it has,
The hysteria has exploded. Not actual immigration.
has itself made many of them victims, be they to the cartels, smugglers, whatever... That's the irony.
The irony is, this ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ "law and order" nonsense is what helps keep these people in vulnerable positions. Do you know what role our foreign policy plays in all this? Have you seen our history with regards to Latin America? Ever heard of Dole plc (formerly Standard Fruit Company)?
