    We know there's no answer forthcoming but perhaps a low thinking level gif?

    Once again, there is no process to "get registered to stay here legally."

    Americans: “Deport all illegals!”

    Same Americans: “WTF? Not farmers and factory workers! How cruel!!!”

    Its one thing to deport the ones with criminal record. Im sure there are plenty more we can grab before thinking about the law abiding migrants that are here.

    I've always said we should give these people an easy path to citizenship if they want it. Put out a policy that allows all undocumented, hard working, law abiding people should be able to go to the local court and start the process to become citizens. Those who choose not to probably have a good (bad) reason for it and we can deport those people as we find them.

    I think this will be one of Trumps biggest blunders assuming he continues to mass deport the good ones.

    Easier to target working folks vs criminals. Numbers game

    American were under the impression created by the Dear Leader when he was campaigning both the first time and for his most recent term that the aliens being deported would be violent criminals including gang members, drug dealers and human traffickers. Although Trump never said that they would be the only persons illegally in the country who would be deported he intentionally created the illusion that they would be the ones rounded up, detained and removed not farmworkers, landscapers, construction workers, waitresses and nannies who have been in the US for an extended period of time, have never committed serious crimes and have citizen children and spouses.

    Ironically within the same polls a majority of responds still say that they favor the deportation of illegals but when asked about specific categories the same respondents indicate they oppose the deportation of undocumented immigrants with US citizen spouses and children.

    A specific example
    A Missouri Town Was Solidly Behind Trump. Then Carol Was Detained.
    For 20 years, Carol Hui has served waffles, raised her children and embraced the small town of Kennett, Mo. Her detention and pending deportation to Hong Kong has hit the community hard.

    In the 20 years since she arrived from Hong Kong, she had built a life and family in Kennett, working two waitressing jobs and cleaning houses on the side. She began every morning at the bustling diner, serving pecan waffles, hugging customers and reading leftover newspapers to improve her English.

    “Everyone knows Carol,” said Lisa Dry, a Kennett city councilwoman.

    That all ended on April 30, when federal immigration officials summoned Carol, 45, whose legal name is Ming Li Hui, to their office in St. Louis, a three-hour drive from Kennett. Her partner, a Guatemalan immigrant, had voiced suspicion about the sudden call. But “I didn’t want to run,” Ms. Hui said in a jailhouse phone interview. “I just wanted to do the right thing.”

    An unfortunate truth. Or, the ones covering for a loved one that does have a criminal record.

    Shouldn't you be posting their residency status?

    I mean, you post meaningless anecdotal nonsense any time an illegal immigrant commits a crime - so shouldn't you post when citizens do so?

    Or are you just trying to deceive people into falsely believing that illegal immigrants commit violent crime at a higher rate than citizens?

    So you're inferring that the arrest of an illegal alien charged with committing a horrendous crime justifies the apprehension and detention of undocumented persons who have not committed any criminal acts, some of whom who have lived the US for decades, have citizen children and or spouses and are gainfully employed.
