A deportation force, huh?
Is this what America has become and what we find acceptable?
We are going to allow the government to create a force in which they have the ability to uproot people, detain them and ship them off to wherever?

We used to be a Country of Laws.
Now, we have a Nation of Crybabies.
The people in line deserve to become Citizens.
The Border jumpers are Criminals.
If you say they are not. You are lying to yourself.

You're aware we already have that right? It's called ICE.

This is incredibly scary to me. As much of an opponent to illegal immigration as I may be, this kind of thing is antithetical to American notions of liberty and should be resisted.
Conservatives don't get to talk about the Constitution unless they're willing to follow it.

Their Due Process would have been offered (or whatever you want to use) IF THEY HAD PRPEPRLY APPLIED to come to the US
Stop acting like they should be afforded the same rights as legal US citizens.
Tell you what. Go and try sneaking into Mexico and report back how well you are treaded when caught.
The Declaration of Independence says that "All Men Are Created Equal".
ALL MEN. Not just citizens, but every person that has been born with the inalienable rights granted to them by their creator.
Therefore, ALL men are afforded rights whether they are a citizen of this country or not. IN that spirit we must maintain due process. That does not include creating a force to go hunt people down, incarcerate them and then do god knows what with them.

I never said scoop people up, put them on trains and send them back. That must be something you picked up from somewhere else.

Oh really? How exactly do you enforce immigration laws then? Every country on earth has a force like this. In fact, America has one too! It's called ICE.
