> Illegal immigrants must be deported.

There are literally 20x more illegal immigrants in Texas as compared to Minnesota:

There are 12x more in Florida:

If you want to go fishing, the Mojave Desert is not the place you should be going. If they want to go after illegal immigrants go to where they actually live and work.

(Hint: this is not about illegal immigration.)

  • I live in Wyoming. ICE came through once, their helicopters woke up a bunch of folks’ pets, the governor told them to stop and they haven’t been back since. This is absolutely about establishing a corps of brown shirts. Not deporting illegal immigrants.

How many rights are you personally willing to give up so that people can be deported?

  • People have been deported as long as I've been alive.

    I haven't lost any of my rights yet. Certainly not in the past month. All the mechanisms to deport people were already there.

Straw man.

Trump is deporting fewer people than Obama did, and Obama wasn’t blowing Saudi Arabia’s military budget every year on his numbers.

  • Obama didn’t have some states letting organized vigilante groups interfere with federal agents.

Maybe learn grammar before giving grand politic lessons.
