Of course, isn't locking up people who are criminals their jobs?

This is a matter of law and order. I have no problem with immigrants coming to this country LEGALLY. Immigrants built this country and are a valuable asset but there is a LEGAL process that must be followed. Biden, Majorkas were disasters when it came to illegal immigration.

We might get a bit closer to having fair elections without those voting who aren't even citizens.

Yes, that would be a problem that needs to be addressed ... if it actually existed.

Immigration laws exist for a reason. I can agree our current immigration process is too complicated, expensive, and ripe with corruption. The solution is to change the process, not allow people to stay here illegally.

Illegal is Illegal, no matter the situation. Law enforcement is there for a reason, to enforce the laws. If I was in another country illegally, then law enforcement in that country would do the same thing, but probably jail time first. Without laws and law enforcement there would be anarchy.

This is not a matter of legality. "IlLeGaL" immigration is a misdemeanor, like jaywalking or speeding. That people are being apprehended at immigration court dates, schools, and churches shows that these people are not dangerous nor violent. And finally, detention without due process is kidnapping.

This is not only anti-american, but it is cruel, inhumane and counterproductive. Trump has managed to convince half our Country that 65 million immigrants are both an imminent threat and less than human. Worse, most of the people believing these lies are Christians.

They should focus on protecting the community from the reported crimes and not engaging in the current racial profiling that immigration authorities have been doing.

Police resources should not be used for ICE operations. Congress just voted for an unbelievably huge budget for their police state. Don’t use local community resources!

This is a hard question. ICE isn't explaining anything or identifying themselves. PO's might follow protocol,better. However, they shouldn't have to be involved.To be fair though, I think we spend too much unnecessary time on immigration & nothing else that truly matters.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Just maybe, some of the students could learn how to read, write, and learn a little bit about math. Their texting skills are already, just fine.

The fact that legislators would use this for political gain and schools would use this as a financial game (teaching to the tests so they get an A rating, which gives them more money, wash-rinse-repeat). is a no from me. Didn't they learn something from the failure of the No Child Left Behind?
