Billions are being thrown around by the Trump admin just for immigration enforcement. 45 billion for detention centers… really? That's insane.

True, and don’t forget the border wall is only a small fraction of what’s needed.

But those are illegal immigrants. They shouldn’t have access to US resources. If the economy needs workers, they should change immigration laws rather than just keep them here illegally.

If labor costs are too high, they should invest in automation instead of relying on illegal workers. Long run, it's more sustainable.

Fun fact: more people were deported under Clinton than any other president. He wasn’t exactly the immigration hero.

Exactly! The aggressive deportation policies really ramped up under him and just continued on.

Populism at its finest. Sure, some immigrants are sketchy, but many are just decent folks doing jobs that Americans won’t touch. It’s a complicated issue.

Gotta admit, Biden’s got a mess on his hands with immigration. But I’d watch out for political motives behind any reforms.

Looks like a lot of immigrants got sent back already during Trump's term… helping them find a better life, right?

#10 Feb 18, 2023, 10:19 PM Dude, don’t buy into the mainstream media hype. There's a whole narrative about jobs and population control that's just shaky. It feels more like hate than policy.

#11 Feb 20, 2023, 05:57 PM What about the taxpayers? Illegal immigrants don’t pay taxes, so deporting them could free up some resources for citizens in need.

#12 Feb 20, 2023, 11:48 PM They do pay taxes, actually. It’s not all doom and gloom. But yeah, it’s not like the US is just handing out cash.

#13 Feb 21, 2023, 12:00 AM I don’t mind some of Trump’s practices on deportation, provided it’s fair. But illegally entering is a serious issue.
T #14 Feb 22, 2023, 03:17 PM Totally get what you mean. His “us vs them” approach feels kind of aggressive, though.

#15 Feb 24, 2023, 08:13 PM Like, imagine a family doing well and suddenly adding someone uninvited… makes everything complicated.

#16 Feb 24, 2023, 10:58 PM Bias alert! You’re just pushing your own agenda. In Europe, we had the same issues with illegal immigration, and it wasn’t pretty.

#17 Feb 25, 2023, 04:14 AM Deporting illegals helps control the job market. But companies will struggle if they can’t fill those roles legally.

#18 Feb 25, 2023, 06:03 AM I’m here for it. Illegal immigrants get taken advantage of, so deportations should signal to employers to play fair.

#19 Feb 26, 2023, 02:05 AM Trump’s policies are tough but necessary. Immigration issues are everywhere, and we all feel it.

#20 Feb 26, 2023, 03:46 AM The fundamental issue is the economy. The costs of losing these workers could lead to inflation and more. It’s a balancing act.
