This is exceptionally cruel, and condemns kids (many of whom are US citizens) to a lifetime of poverty.
‘richest country in the world’; cant afford to help humans at their doorstep
uh huh.
these conservatives are either malicious, ignorant or both. its weird talking to them. so many are so casual about the cruelty they support
Well no country could afford to take in everyone north of the darian gap. Its just too many people.
Yes, yes they should. Immigration is a boogeyman used to blame other people for issues that aren’t their fault.
First, what’s the economic cost here? Immigration is not a net negative overall. Why spend trillions of dollars burning money to police one of the worlds largest borders other than to blow all of society’s resources on an impossibly stupid and unproductive task?
The irrational desire to punish children for misdemeanor crimes of parents should be seen as what it is: a mental disorder.
Republicans are like living jungian shadows, its incredible
Children should never be punished. The road to documented status should be easier, regardless of citizenship options, and not lead to deportation.
The terrible secret is that immigrarion is the secret sauce behind “American Exceptionalism”
High recent immigrant populations essentially select for people willing to put in the extra effort to migrate, which is a close proxy for to things like “entrepeneurship” and “seeking out better education/opportunities for their children.”
In any republican solution to a problem…
Cruelty IS THE POINT. if a solution does not contain some suffering for someone… Then it’s not a good solution for a republican. For them no good can come WITHOUT SUFFERING.
