> Every single one of the tens of millions of people who have illegally immigrated to the United States over the past few decades is a criminal who can be legally deported. There are an estimated 100K illegal immigrants in Minnesota,[1] and about 2M in Texas.[2] With 900K in Florida, 350K in Georgia, 325K in North Carolina, etc. [3] Why doesn't ICE concentrate on fishing where the fish are… but of course that would mean doing stuff in red states.

> Every single one of the tens of millions of people who have illegally immigrated to the United States over the past few decades is a criminal who can be legally deported. I 100% agree with this sentiment and that is why I strongly support speeding the asylum application process through redirecting immigration enforcement funding to bolstering the courts. Our backlog should be 0 before we start knocking door to door and stopping people for the suspicious behavior of being brown at Home Depot. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Without going into a long tangent talking about each point, I would like to point out that ICE doesn't actually seem terribly concerned with whether or not the people are illegal aliens or criminals. The last two people they murdered were US citizens, there are many US citizens, some natural born, that have been detained. If they have access to all this information that was volunteered, then why are they so utterly incompetent at actually deporting illegal aliens? That said, the disturbing part of Palantir and ICE isn't just that they are reading my driver's license or my legal status, it's the fact that they know everything. You are absolutely, unequivocally incorrect that anyone in any significant numbers wants "open borders". I know this is a meme, but it's a meme that isn't true. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The "crime" is the same severity as driving drunk or bringing a gun into a restroom in a National Park. Are you saying it's OK for Federal officers swarm your house without a warrant, and then just shoot you for that? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
