To make this more substantive and on point, I get the argument you are making -- if there were no "illegals" here, then there would be a stronger job market for the lower end of spectrum. That is true to some degree. It is healthy to discuss the issue, but the discussion should be based on all the facts, not some of the facts, and not made-up facts.

Secondly, the article of the thread was talking about how the federal government is spending tens of billions of dollars to put masked goons in unmarked cars, often with no identification of who they are, jumping out of cars and abducting people. If you think this is just about rounding up people who came across the border illegal, you are sadly mistaken. This is about asserting power and terrorizing the regions that didn't vote for Trump.

There are plenty of other undocumented workers in red regions. There are many red states with higher crime rates than the cities ICE is targeting. This isn't about law and order -- it is about intimidation and centralizing power.

It would be hilarious if the consequences weren't so dire, but all the states rights people apparently have no problem with Trump exerting his will in states' business just so long is it is harming "libs".
