What false positive rate are you willing to accept?

A pretty high rate, because it's pretty easy for an actual US citizen who gets accidentally deported to simply re-enter the country.

What does that look like? Dropped in a foreign country without money or documents. Likely in the custody of a government who doesn't care.

How do you re-enter the country?

Whatever country will accept the lowest bribe. So likely somewhere in Africa. SA would be too close, almost walk back

Curious what that translates to numerically, if you're willing to share.

Did you reply to the wrong comment?

No. What false positive rate for deportations are you willing to accept?

Your comment is a non sequitur. What false positive rate for the justice system are you willing to accept?

Bruh. It's a number between 0% and 100%.

I'll make it a yes or no answer to help you, and we'll narrow it down from there. For example, are you willing to accept a 50% false positive rate? Yes or no? Ex: For every two people deported, one of them would be deported erroneously.

Why try to counter with a "no u!" It makes it look like you know deporting people falsely is bad. Why not just change your position instead?

Um, yeah? Falsely convicting people and jailing them is bad.

And that has nothing to do with efficient and swift deportations. Congrats, you played yourself.

Do you agree that wrongly deporting people is bad?
