What makes you think they are from the same people? You think there are only 10 people posting on here?

My post was neither. It was "what an idiot to give them ample warning to go into hiding". Dumbest POTUS... ever!

What happened was that our "commander in stupid" decided to announce to the world about the raids, giving people enough time to go into hiding.

During Obama's administration, there were raids, but Obama wasn't completely stupid enough to publicly announce the raids. It's like putting a big neon sign on your house saying, "Attn: the house will be empty for several weeks as we will be out of town". Who does that?

So true.
Truth is, he has deported fewer people than Obama did.
I hope they are able to locate and deport those who have violated our laws, whose cases have been adjudicated, and who have been ordered deported.
It is the law.

+1

Hey, just had an idea.

Maybe he could appoint Obama as Head of Deportations?

Responses?

Raise taxes on the middle class workers to pay for all the associated costs. In areas likely to absorb a larger influx of children, prepare teachers and schools for larger classes and increased operational costs. Hire more social workers, counselors, school nurses, and ESOL and special education teachers.

Ummm no. Giving people already here workin, but under the table, a legal work visa means that they are paying taxes. And very importantly as Boomers age out, paying into SS without drawing benefits, or full benefits in the future. How much are people working for cash paying in taxes, FICA etc? If they are going to work, isn’t it better they do so openly and contribute economically?

PP here. What you've said does not negate what I wrote. Maybe you work for a public school system...if you don't, then you can't imagine all that will need to be done as more and more families immigrate here.

I have kids in FCPS. And I have enough education to know this: I am proposing solutions to the problems we have that can be attained with the resources we have. You are proposing solutions to the problems you wish we had, in a world with unlimited resources. And speaking of scare resources. Yes, we would spend more on schools. Hopefully, that would be offset by new tax revenue from people who can work legally. But increased enforcement also costs more money. And we would get no corresponding offset as people melt into the shadows.

Sometimes adulting requires working with the reality we have not the reality we want. You want to deport millions of people with no extra resources and without increasing taxes.

That isn’t reality.

Here's my response: Please work for one month in an extremely rural or urban crowded school with large numbers of children who are struggling academically and behaviorally. Then come share why we shouldn't tighten our borders.

Or maybe he just wanted to get the word out so that the people would leave on their own. It’s cheaper and more efficient than sending ICE in. Seems like a smart idea to me.

Several elementary schools in Herndon and Annandale are classic examples of this
