    The problem is that even then it’s such a tiny “infraction,” so victimless, that going out of the way to enforce it is fucking insane. It’s like if we shot all jaywalkers dead on sight. It’s like if we arrested everyone who ever went over the speed limit and kept them in jail for 90 days waiting for a hearing.

    If someone is visibly committing a dangerous crime, and it turns out they should be deported, that’s one thing. Breaking into people’s fucking houses, fucking taking people while they are in the process of going to the courthouse to go through the legal immigration process, dragging people out of fucking cars, none of this is necessary, and moreover, it’s fucking reprehensible.

    “But dey broke da lawwww” a kid who smoked a joint doesn’t deserve the electric chair bro. And they are fucking executing white, born-here American citizens in the streets in broad daylight for NOTHING.

    So in closing, fuck that, fuck all of that.

      Good points. I just wanted to add even Pre-Trump the fact people need to go to court to argue their right to live in a country is stupid.

      The immigration process should be nothing but a security check and be given ID in a civilized society
