choosing not to enforce immigration law is already hurting people. It overwhelms cities, burdens social services, strains schools and hospitals, and undermines legal immigration.

Yes, I agree Kurt, we should treat people humanely, but compassion doesn't mean ignoring the law or rewarding illegal entry. How would you like to deal with it ?

The humane way that was the more common practice before random people being kidnapped & scared to leave their homes. Things like going into work places where intel showed there may be illegal immigrants working there- you go in normally & check their papers, if they don't have them, go from there.

I do agree with most of your statement :) I work in the federal system myself, and from what I see, they’re acting on intel. At least that’s primarily what’s happening. The internet and news mislead people.

That said, if agents are deployed to detain someone and others are present, they likely won’t be overlooked. ICE operates as the interior enforcement arm, while Border Patrol is responsible for apprehensions at or near the border during entry.

That being said, I am not opposed to allocating funds if the estimate of over 10 million undocumented immigrants is accurate, the U.S. is simply too large for Border Patrol to manage alone. ✌️

Also, having more employees at the borders would help - both to process immigration applications and dealing with those that traverse the border illegally. Putting money into ICE where people are terrorized instead of protected is hypocrital if they claim their goal is help. ✌️
