“Decades” isn’t a year. And when did you become a Bill Clinton fan? And when did Trump say he wanted to go after people who employ illegal aliens?Stealthycat said:

If the police didn't exist at all until 15 years ago, and then during their relatively short existence they didn't stop crime and also they were consistently abusive and gleefully enforced perhaps the single cruelest domestic policy of our lifetimes, then yes it's just like that.Cowboysfan8 said:That's like asking "why are the police needed, there is still crime"

same words, different Presidents and Govt leaders .... Democrats loved hard immigration talk when it was their guys up there and the votes they wanted to snag was around
magically it all changes when someone else says the same words

Hell Clinton and I shook hands in 1986, he's an Arkansas boy .... I voted for him, but no, never a fan of who Clinton was as an abuser of women.

It doesn't magically all change, those aren't the same words, and it's been over 20 years since Clinton made that speech. People who are now between the ages of 18-40 (some 41) were not voters at the time that speech was given in 1995.

only 3 short years before Trump was elected ....
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: “Real reform means strong border security, and we can build on the progress my administration has already made -- putting more boots on the Southern border than at any time in our history and reducing illegal crossings to their lowest levels in 40 years.
Real reform means establishing a responsible pathway to earned citizenship -- a path that includes passing a background check, paying taxes and a meaningful penalty, learning English, and going to the back of the line behind the folks trying to come here legally.
And real reform means fixing the legal immigration system to cut waiting periods and attract the highly-skilled entrepreneurs and engineers that will help create jobs and grow our economy.” (President Barack Obama, Remarks At State Of The Union, Washington, D.C., 2/12/13)
“‘I voted numerous times when I was a senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in,’ Clinton said at November 2015 town hall in New Hampshire, ‘and I do think that you have to control your borders.’” (Annie Linksey, “In 2006, Democrats Were Saying ‘Build That Fence!’” Boston Globe , 1/27/17)
In 2013, All 54 Democrats Voted To Pass The Border Security, Economic Opportunity, And Immigration Modernization Act. (S. 744, Roll Call Vote #168 : Passed 68-32: R 14-32; D 52-0; I 1-0, 6/27/13)
The Bill Required The Completion “700 Miles Of Pedestrian Fencing Along The Border.” “ Completing 700 miles of pedestrian fencing along the border, which would require approximately 350 new miles of fencing.” (“Immigration Bill Summary,” The Associated Press , 6/28/13)
The Bill Allocated Approximately $46 Billion On Border Security Improvements. “Border security spending in the bill totals around $46 billion.” (“Immigration Bill Summary,” The Associated Press , 6/28/13)
The Bill Calls For “Doubling The Number Of Border Patrol Agents Stationed Along The U.S.-Mexico Border.” “ Roughly doubling the number of Border Patrol agents stationed along the U.S.-Mexico border, to at least 38,405.” (“Immigration Bill Summary,” The Associated Press , 6/28/13)

Article by Natasha Bertrant:
ICE has been detaining asylum-seekers on the basis of Russian Red Notices, which are notoriously politically motivated. “Backdoor extraditions” are the result. “DHS & DOJ have more and more put themselves in the position of doing Putin’s dirty work.”
In one case, DHS argued in court filings that an arrest warrant in Russia was supported by a Red Notice—even though obtaining a Red Notice is as simple as filling out a form, and has no probative value of its own.

The 2013 bill also included a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. Some of the provisions you cut and pasted here were actually concessions to Republicans because the bill was a bipartisan effort, not a Democratic proposal. Ultimately conservative Republicans rejected it because of the path to citizenship.
Pulling this stuff out of that important context and pretending that Dems were all in favor of the same sort of things Trump currently wants while ignoring the obvious headline of the deal- the path to citizenship- is pretty gross, even for you. I know we're supposed to civil to other posters these days but respecting misleading garbage like your terrible post here isn't good for anyone. This is pathetic, misleading partisan nonsense of the worst kind and you deserve to be called out for it.

The ACLU is accusing ICE agents of mistreating workers detained in a Nebraska raid.
The ACLU claims ICE agents transported detained workers, including 2 pregnant women, w/o air conditioning. When passengers asked for cool air, agents turned on the heat.

ICE detained a man while he was driving his pregnant wife to the hospital. He was taken when they stopped for gas.

ICE didn’t just happen to be at a gas station, there is a lot more to this story.
She wasn’t in labor , she was going to a scheduled c section
In the USA illegally for 12 years? Five children, US citizens because they were born here? Perhaps free lunch at school & snacks? Medicaid-medical- dental-vision? Housing assistance? Utilities assistance? Daycare assistance? SNAP-food stamps? Free education? Better than your American Citizen family has it

I did not see it mentioned in Squiz' recap of the article, but:
Maybe the guy is guilty.
Maybe ICE is making stuff up so they can lock up more brown people.
Tough situation for an ICE agent though if the name/ID did show up with a homicide warrant. Let a possible murderer walk free and someone else potentially ends up being harmed in the future, or detain a possibly innocent man until it can get sorted out. The "pregnant woman on the way to the hospital" angle sure was played up by the media for clicks and sympathy. It is not like her water broke and she was about to squirt a kid out in the Arco parking lot, she was headed to the hospital for a scheduled C section.
I doubt ICE fabricated the story, they could lose their job and face legal consequences.
I know several dozen ICE agents and they are well respected members of their communities. It is a disgrace what the media and the left have done with their attacks on ICE over the last 6 months in an attempt to score political points and divide this country. In the local communities more and more of these people (who are largely Hispanic themselves) are getting sick of the attacks. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Singling out ICE as the boogeyman was a very strange fight to pick. If people have a problem with current laws being enforced they should attack the people who made and can change those laws.
Maybe the guy is innocent and someone with his same name is wanted for murder in Mexico.

I agree with this part of your post. I don’t think it’s fair to blame these guys for policies that are set down high above them.
As I see it, the main problem we’re facing is this: our current President, supported by a large majority of conservatives, want a hard line taken against undocumented immigrants. The rest of us don’t.
I’ve spent a lot of time over the years in threads like this one arguing this issue with people that share your general viewpoint. I’ve tried to reason things out, explore compromises, discuss various options. It doesn’t work. We simply are too far apart in our fundamental beliefs.
HellToupee

The hard line isn’t with illegal aliens , it’s with the bad hombres. Most illegal aliens are good people, well I assume they are. It’s thebad hombres we need to weed out , the ones who commit crimes and end up in the court system but then shielded from ICE by renegade judges. This happens al lot in MA
timschochet
Footballguy
Putting aside your phrasing (which you are aware that I and many others find offensive), you’re wrong. Only a very small percent of undocumented aliens commit violent crimes. Yet the Trump administration, with the support of most conservatives, have consistently attempted to link these crimes to ALL undocumented aliens and come up with policy based on that false representation.
HellToupee
Footballguy
I’m wrong that assuming most are good people?
The emphasis is getting rid of bad hombres and attempt to keep out future illegal aliens

Arresting a suspected murderer - ICE definitely needs to be shut down. Definitely the last, last straw.
I wonder how many folks jumped at this without seeing any of the facts surrounding it. Besides CNN and politicians (Kennedy being an appropriate representative of this group).

When a story fits their agenda, mainstream media is quick to publish the false narrative with zero attempt to question it. This is why Trump's fake news charge works. Of course Trump uses it to cover up his lies, but the media is still hopelessly bias on how stories are reported. The reporting on this story was horrible as it is with so many of these.

Holding out examples of ICE arresting and deporting criminals or other success stories is a silly straw man. Nobody is arguing that they don't do this. The argument is that, on balance, they are abusive and unjust and do more harm than good. I'm sure the SS and the Khmer Rouge and Hussein's Republican Guard got rid of some terrible people too. Getting rid of some terrible people doesn't singlehandedly justify a group's existence/tactics.
timschochet
Footballguy
By comparing ICE to the SS, Khmer Rouge, and the Republican Guard you are, IMO, only helping the current conservative position. These are ludicrous, rather offfensive comparisons.
ICE is not the problem. Like all of our law enforcement it is made up of well meaning people who try to do their best under difficult circumstances- almost all of the bad anecdotes we hear are the result not of ICE but of the policies they’re supposed to enforce, which I believe are not only unjust but impossible to carry out.

Abolish ICE! Illegal aliens with international arrest warrants for murder deserve to be left in peace. Damn Nazi ICE agents.

This isnt really the argument that gets made tobias. People make outlandish claims about ICE, so obviously people will counter that with outlandish claims about ICE good deeds. In the end this is an argument that really will never end. You think that ICE is unjust because you disagree with the concept of getting rid of people that arent citizens. Somebody that holds the opposite belief will obviously hold a different opinion of the arms of the law involved.
I don't often advocate for more legislation, but in this area do you think that some clearer laws are needed? I would even agree to some more left leaning legislation if it was clear and led to more consistent enforcement. Right now it just seems to go in the wind. Some days we target businesses, some days we don't. Some days we decide after 8 years of being here illegally it is time to go. Some days we don't.
TobiasFunke
Footballguy
I'm not comparing them. I'm pointing out the obvious fallacy of their logic with extreme examples. You're smart enough to know the difference.
And while ICE is not the entire problem, they are part of the problem. The country was fine without them before, it would be fine without them again.

If we really wanted to reduce illegal immigration we'd pass laws that would penalize the owners of businesses that employ the illegal immigrants. By penalize I mean send the owners of the business to jail for 30 days. If it's a corporation send the officers of the company to jail. You can be sure they'd do a better job of making sure they only hired people eligible to work in the country.
Of course, since the group that would be punished by my suggested laws is commonly called "the donor class" the chance of anything remotely like this ever becoming law approaches 0.
