[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lean left and have immigrant parents, but have no problem with what the officer did.

None of us get to do what we want without repercussion. You are undocumented, AND you drive without a license (and presumably without insurance), AND you get into an accident? Yeah sorry, there are consequences.

I completely understand a human being seeking a better life, but this person should not be on the road. [/quote]

OP of this quote. [b]Oh, I will never, ever, ever vote Republican ever again. Ever.[/b]

I support middle ground initiatives - I don't support a wall, or separating mothers from their kids, or moats of snakes and alligators. I  also don't support restricting blanket immigration from countries our POTUS randomly deems as dangerous because they follow a particular religion.

But I do recognize that we cannot take in ever single person, and I do support measures to restrict or limit illegal immigration - punishing employers and making the incentive to cross the border more difficult. And certainly punish people who break laws that endangers others - like driving without a license and being wanted by ICE.

Neither side is doing a good job on this issue. There is a more moderate line, and while I take issue with how Democrats handle issues regarding immigration, the Republican philosophy is equally repugnant.

You obviously have every right to vote for whichever party you want, but you should be aware that part of the problem in politics is people who feel exactly this way.  Too many voters just vote along party lines.  Doesn't matter that the candidate might not have their best interests at heart.

If you feel that illegal immigration is a problem, you should take a look at the actual local Republican candidates and not immediately rule them out simply because they're Republican.

I voted for Hillary in the last election, and I watched some of the Democratic presidential candidate debates.  I certainly don't think that offering health insurance to illegal immigrants, and decriminalizing border crossings is the answer to the US immigration problem.  [/quote]
