Trump on 60 Minutes

[abaris]

Maybe it's just the fact that I'm a documented immigrant, so I fully understand the costs of coming to America legally, but can someone explain why deporting people who are here illegally is a bad thing?

It took a lot of time and money for me to finally get to live with my American wife. If people are skirting around those requirements, I don't really have much sympathy for them.

It think it's not a black and white, either or issue.

There are many things to consider. Such as when they actually came. How long they actually lived and worked there without having filed the necessary paperwork. Do they have kids already born there, are they integrated? Is anyone prepared to seperate them from their kids, who already are citizens by birthright.

That's the same for every country. Someone bawling about deporting all of them without looking at their background simply doesn't do the homework and only responds to popular demand. There's also another thing to consider. They usually do the jobs nobody else is willing to do. Such as toiling the fields for a pittance, scrubbing the toilets, cleaning the offices, being orderlies. Someone has to do these jobs or the infrastructure breaks down. So what's next? Enforced labor for the unemployed?
