This deportation scam is a jobs program for racist maga ice agents. It's not about deporting a lot of people. It's about shifting a lot of federal money to Trump and his friends and supporters.

And they need gang members here to manipulate everyone to vote for them.

OP, it seems you're angry that ICE is picking up illegals. While I sympathize with illegals to an extent, they're not here lawfully. I could speculate on why you're determined to insist they be allowed to stay, but that's besides the point. They're taking up resources the U.S. can ill afford to provide to them. Our hospital are overflowing with illegal aliens who take advantage of the law to get free medical care, sticking the rest of us with the unpaid bills. I 100% know you realize that, but you just don't care. Those construction jobs you were referring to? Back in the day before the U.S. filled with undocumented workers, construction work paid well enough that employees could lead nice blue collar lifestyles on the pay. No more. There are plenty of small town folk who would gladly take those jobs, only they've gone to cheap undocumented employees. You know that too, but you just don't care.

Who does MAGA think will replace these lost workers?

I know that Taco Belle Karoline Leavitt thinks that Harvard grads with their LGBTQ degrees should, but let's have an honest think on the subject.

Who is the most educated? Democrats.
Who is the most employed? Democrats.
Who holds the most wealth? Democrats.

Democrats are not going to be the ones filling these new job opening. These jobs will be filled by poor white people, mostly from the poor red states. And why will these jobs be filled by the poor white people in red states? Because those are the people who are most reliant on Medicaid that will be kicked off with the new rules.

Here are some stats from https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/data-and-systems/downloads/macbis/2020-race-etncity-data-brf.pdf and this is 2020 date so the numbers will be different today but not vastly different.

Total Medicaid enrollees: 96million
Total white, NON-HISPANIC on Medicaid: 43% or 41,280,000.
Total Hispanic on Medicaid: 28% or 26,880,000
Total black, NON-HISPANIC on Medicaid: 21% or 20,160,000
And the rest is made up of Asians, Indigenous people, and multi-racial non-Hispanics.

If education, especially education at the elite universities, was such a bad thing, then why aren't these dudes in power pulling their kids from their private schools and from these elite universities in favor of homeschooling and Liberty University? Because they understand that education = power & opportunities. The better your education, the better your chance for opportunities in life. I mean, NYU is considered to be a very liberal university and yet Baron is there. Why? Because it's still a damn fine institution and a degree from there comes with prestige that a degree from Liberty University doesn't have.

The MAGAs can't even see how much they're being played because they're so blindly loyal. So, no, it won't be my Democratic kid who just graduated from Yale working at a construction site in FL or a kitchen in NY or hotel in CA. My kid graduated with an engineering degree and a job offer, and today was actually her first official day of work after 2 weeks of on-boarding & training.

I came here to say that. They would get a ton of undocumented workers in any meat processing plant, or at Mar a Lago or Bedminster - but that would then expose that the big GOP donors are the major employers of this group.

Well, and it was all really about implementing a police state in which they can go after anyone at any time for disagreeing with the state.

Look, anyone with a brain can see that if this was on the up and up they wouldn’t require the secret police.

Citation or link?

I want names to be able to look up their records myself. Every article I found only stated "violent crimes" but wouldn't specify which ones.

I don't trust this admin to not lie about it, sorry. Not after they photoshopped ms13 on that guy's knuckles.

Also, nabbing them at immigration court but I haven't seen any stories of ICE agents waiting outside of criminal court proceedings to grab up those people. No stories of ICE convoys rolling into known MS13 gang neighborhoods in CA, DC, MD, VA, etc.

Why is that?

It's obvious that ICE is helping Trump pad his numbers, but also, it looks like they are doing it because the ICE agents are scared. The most some construction or restaurant workers will do is run. That'll give the agents some cardio for the day. But in the gang neighborhoods? The ones full of MS13 - those guys will fight back. ICE knows this and doesn't want to engage.

So they'll pad their numbers with the low-hanging fruit. Trump can boast about how many illegals he deported, and then when an actual illegal criminal commits a crime, Trump can shrug his shoulders and say something like, "It's because Biden let so many in. Look how many I got rid of! And there are still so many bad guys to round up."

So you are admitting that MS13 is operating in the United states and has taken over entire neighborhoods?

Who has ever denied this? No liberals in my life have denied this. Anyone who lives in Sterling, Dale City, or Centerville can tell you where the MS-13 gang activity is.

I *want* the illegal criminals out. I don't gaf about Pedro on the corner at 7-11 begging for construction work unless Pedro is a violent criminal or has an outstanding warrant.

You think Dems and Repubs are so different, but we're not. Most of us are not. There are thousands of us liberals who love guns and own guns but who still want sensible gun control like no AR15s for civilians. I'm not advocating for all civilian guns to be taken. I do think background checks should be mandatory in every state and that those out on DV charges should not be able to own their guns until the cases are settled.

There are thousands of us who want violent illegals gone, but we went it done through the correct due process and for the focus to be on criminals not just every brown person.

Most of us want Medicaid fraud, SNAP fraud, and Government fraud eradicated...but we also know the way to do it wasn't how Elon did it with mass firings and closing entire departments. It's weakened the US as a superpower and allowed our adversaries to step in and gain favor with these small developing nations that once relied on us. That's never a good thing. You don't want more countries being loyal to China over the US. I bet most liberals can name at least one person in their lives who is on Medicaid who definitely shouldn't be. I can name 2.

Moderate politics is dead and needs to be brought to life again. We all used to be able to agree on the big issue and then disagreed/nitpicked the minute details of how to deal with those issues. Now, it's just Red vs Blue, Dems vs Repubs, Us vs Them where each side wants everything to be their way with no compromise. It doesn't work. That style of politics never works.

I mean, look at the current Admin. They have the Presidential power, Congressional power, and Senatorial power and what have they gotten done in 6 months? Nothing big or good for the country. They can't even get their own party members together to pass a budget.

LOL that you believe that.

What do you believe? Taxpayers should continue to be forced to support foreign child rapists and murderers? Because that’s what some of them are.

Vetting foreign migrants before invading is the law.

Notice that these “freeloaders” are being arrested at their JOB SITES and while complying with immigration court requirements. MAGA doesn’t think at all.

"The children — two boys and a girl who appeared to be between the ages of 9 and 12 years old — were detained and zip-tied, along with adults who appeared to be relatives, after an immigration judge had dismissed their case, according to Carolina Rivera, an immigration attorney who serves as a federal advocate and liaison for CLINIC. That dismissal should have meant they were no longer subject to removal proceedings, Rivera said."
