Interesting.
This indicates that she is thinking that she would simply leave them...

Yup... he got them to drop their pants. He can now run on the issue again and THEN in his second term, drain the swamp and deport illegals, seal the border...blah blah. We’re lucky if he got a single one South of the Border (on the 95 in NC/SC)
Joking aside, he hasn’t kept promises. Meet the new boss.

#1 - if they’re here illegally, they aren’t ‘immigrants’ - they’re criminals.

#2 - if they feel ‘fearful’ over the prospect of being exmigrated (if it’s not a word yet, it should be), they should be. If they weren’t criminals, they wouldn’t be scared of the cops.

I appreciate that these people (and, yes, there are lots and lots of them) who have been here for a long time have ties to the community, support families, etc. And if they get relocated back to their former home countries, they’ll have to start all over again. I get that.

What I will not accept is that we should let them stay, just because it will be unpleasant for them if we tear them away from what they’ve built here.

It is time for them to go.

If you aren’t here legally, you don’t belong here.

legal groups and city officials fanned out across the five boroughs to assuage fears and inform immigrants of their rights.

What rights? At the very least, once their asylum requests have been denied by judges and their deportation orders have been issued, the only rights they have are to leave our country.

Alejandra, who didn’t want to provide her last name, said she came to the U.S. 12 years ago from Mexico and doesn’t have legal status. She said she feels afraid. “We stay at home,” she said in Spanish.

12 years. She can't say, "we stay at home" in English.

“...Still Felt Fearful...”

Why not?

When you break into someone’s home and get caught... you ought to feel fearful!!

IMO - The INS pressure is designed to encourage self-deportation. Pressure from the community would increase the fear, but we sit back and let the INS carry the entire load. We need to be clear, we need to be heard - legal immigration is welcome and encouraged - illegal aliens are not welcome and not wanted. We might start by pressuring any employers of illegals, and by not supporting sanctuary churches. Money talks!!

From my immigration reform plan:

[This section should go in 8 USC.]

It’s the Bush League Republicans that have been preventing the citizens from stopping the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA)

Alexander, Graham, McSally, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Hyde-Smith, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Romney, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans.

They MUST be replaced with real Republicans that side with the citizens and the rule of law.

I’m FEARFUL that Trump is not going to deport waaaay enough. On Sunday the lib Judy Miller pointed out that these raids (having been announced in advance) are just to fire up the base. Laura Ingraham also questioned this same tactic on her program last week.
I hope and pray that the ICE agents will continue rounding up aliens without fanfare or we will lose our country.

“#1 - if they’re here illegally, they aren’t ‘immigrants’ - they’re criminals.”

You are exactly right. The original definition of an “immigrant” was a foreigner who entered the country legally; one who has a Green card and classified, “Permanent Resident.” The media and political class have bastardized the word “immigrant,” and the right thinking public must change it back to the original meaning.

Unfortunately, theLeft would love your suggestion. The illegals would summarily be issued drivers-liscences and be registered to vote shortly thereafter. The Dem- machines that run most metropolitan areas would be strengthened as would the voter base needed to cement Dem victories of the state during election years. No...illegal immigrants must be ejected, kept out, or imprisoned. There can be no slacking off.

What Trump needs to do is make clear that enforcement will focus on areas that are not sanctuary cities

What Trump needs to do is stop these ridicules threats about which nothing ever happens. Begin the rush to the Border by actually starting to deport. Don’t let them become larger ticks on society they they already are.
