Trump's Ice Director says Families separated in Deportation can 'Voluntarily' reunify by Leaving US!

[Claudette]

Now that illegals should have free health care, we should also add other rights that Americans don't enjoy, such as free rides to the Mexican border.

Yup. If they don't want to be separated from their kids then they need to stay the hell home.

I'd give all 20 million a free ride to the border then kick them the hell out.

Here’s What’ll Happen to the Economy if We Deport Undocumented Immigrants

"With the U.S. Census Bureau estimating the population to be close to 319 million people, the issue focuses on a very small segment, 3.5%, of the entire U.S. population.

"According to a 2017 Pew Research Center study, there were 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants living in the United States in 2014 and 71%, or 8 million of those 11.3 million, participating in the U.S. labor force.

"This is a significantly higher percentage than the U.S. population participation rate of 49% in 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates."

I will tell you what would happen if we deport all that cheap labor
wages would increase companies would be required to raise wages to attract citizens to do those jobs that cheap illegal labor once performed
yes some prices will increase but aren't you willing to pay slightly more so American citizens can earn a living wage

Have you ever done farm labor?
I have, and I find it almost inconceivable US citizens would toil 12-16 hours a day, six days a week (or more) often for less than minimum wage and no overtime pay. There's also a loss from local spending revenue stemming from displaced immigrants.

"If non-working American citizens or legal immigrants fill the jobs void at the current wage rate, prices in these industries would remain relatively constant, and the switch from undocumented immigrants to legal taxpayers could boost U.S. tax revenues.

"However, even as those new workers help to spur the economy, the U.S. would lose the spending revenue generated by those undocumented immigrants who had been deported, since the vast majority of undocumented immigrants are working and spending their incomes."

Improved healthcare
Shorter wait times in ER’s
Faster response times from first responders
Fewer incarcerated
Fewer on welfare
Less traffic
Fewer drunk drivers on our roadways
Less rape and murder
Less spent on infrastructure
Less trash lining our roadways
Fewer shitty diapers in Walmart parking lots
Less pit bulls being abused

"Their current line of attack is an unsubstantiated claim that legalizing the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States will be too costly for our nation.

'Playing to ignorant prejudice, these groups falsely suggest that immigrants are 'takers'—people who use more public benefits than other groups—and that as a result, legalization would cost the United States trillions of dollars.

"Mainstream economists have thoroughly debunked this general stereotype of immigrants as takers, finding that immigrants are a net positive for the economy and pay more into the system than they take out. In fact, immigrants’ contributions have also played a key role in prolonging the solvency of the Social Security Trust Fund.

Trump offers socialism for the rich, capitalism for everyone else | Robert Reich

"In the conservative mind, socialism means getting something for doing nothing.

"That pretty much describes the $21bn saved by the nation’s largest banks last year thanks to Trump’s tax cuts, some of which went into massive bonuses for bank executives.

"On the other hand, more than 4,000 lower-level bank employees got a big dose of harsh capitalism.

"They lost their jobs.

"Banks that are too big to fail – courtesy of the 2008 bank bailout – enjoy a hidden subsidy of some $83bn a year, because creditors facing less risk accept lower interest on deposits and loans.

"Last year, Wall Street’s bonus pool was $31.4bn.

"Take away the hidden subsidy and the bonus pool disappears."

Wrong.

I am seeing poor homeless Americans living in conditions that make ICE detention camps look like bloody club med.
Why all the phony concern for wet backs? They had a choice to immigrate legally. They aren't entitled to immigrate here without following immigration laws.Our poor homeless don't get a choice. Being THAT THIS IS still a democracy, nobody actually got to vote for giving sanctuary to illegal aliens. Seems downright unconstitutional if not downright illegal. Seems like foreign collusion, even.

The US homeless population and undocumented migrants are victims of the same economic forces. In my neighborhood, rents have exploded by 300% over the past twenty-five years at the same time NAFTA destroyed millions of family farms in Mexico. Who gets rich from that?

I don't know what we OWE to people that immigrate illegally here anything. Let alone give THEM sanctuary cities without say-so of the local populace. The fact nobody actually voted for sanctuary cities in itself speaks of inequalities and unconstitutional nature of this situation. My great grandparents immigrated legally, so can all Latinos. They didn't get a free pass. Nope. My grand parents fled pogroms and persecutions and they never got this level of special treatment. Just Latinos. How do they rate?

What does the US owe the two million Mexicans who lost their farms because of NAFTA?

"During the first decade of the agreement, U.S. corn exports to Mexico quadrupled, while the price of domestically-grown corn in Mexico crashed by nearly 70 percent.

"No longer able to support their families by selling their excess corn, an estimated 2 million farm workers abandoned the Mexican countryside for the big cities, looking for work.

"Unable to find jobs in their country, half-a-million Mexicans a year migrated to the U.S., contributing to a 75-percent increase in illegal immigration from Mexico in the five years after NAFTA took effect."

Corporate welfare - Wikipedia

"Background[edit]

"Subsidies considered excessive, unwarranted, wasteful, unfair, inefficient, or bought by lobbying are often called corporate welfare.[1] The label of corporate welfare is often used to decry projects advertised as benefiting the general welfare that spend a disproportionate amount of funds on large corporations, and often in uncompetitive, or anti-competitive ways.

"For instance, in the United States, agricultural subsidies are usually portrayed as helping independent farmers stay afloat. However, the majority of income gained from commodity support programs actually goes to large agribusiness corporations such as Archer Daniels Midland, as they own a considerably larger percentage of production.[21]

"Alan Peters and Peter Fisher, Associate Professors at the University of Iowa,[22] have estimated that state and local governments provide $40–50 billion annually in economic development incentives,[23] which critics characterize as corporate welfare.[2"

Asylum in the United States

"What Is the Asylum Application Process?
There are two primary ways in which a person may apply for asylum in the United States: the affirmative process and the defensive process. Asylum seekers who arrive at a U.S. port of entry or enter the United States without inspection generally must apply through the defensive asylum process. Both processes require the asylum seeker to be physically present in the United States.

• Affirmative Asylum: A person who is not in removal proceedings may affirmatively apply for asylum through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), a division of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). If the USCIS asylum officer does not grant the asylum application and the applicant does not have a lawful immigration status, he or she is referred to the immigration court for removal proceedings, where he or she may renew the request for asylum through the defensive process and appear before an immigration judge.
• Defensive Asylum: A person who is in removal proceedings may apply for asylum defensively by filing the application with an immigration judge at the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) in the Department of Justice. In other words, asylum is applied for 'as a defense against removal from the U.S.' Unlike the criminal court system, EOIR does not provide appointed counsel for individuals in immigration court, even if they are unable to retain an attorney on their own."

"With the U.S. Census Bureau estimating the population to be close to 319 million people, the issue focuses on a very small segment, 3.5%, of the entire U.S. population.

"According to a 2017 Pew Research Center study, there were 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants living in the United States in 2014 and 71%, or 8 million of those 11.3 million, participating in the U.S. labor force.

I've been saying that for years!
