Fixing illegal immigration has nothing to do with fixing the legal immigration process. For many people, it is simple. Secure the god damn border. Once that occurs, then we can move on and talk about how to make the legal immigration process better. The fact that illegal immigrants from Mexico are flocking to the US has nothing to do with why it takes years for a green card. Two entirely unrelated issues.
Being treated humanely does not mean allowing an illegal immigrant to stay in the country.
...Trump just says stuff. He does not even know what he is saying later on and then denies it. I do not think knows anything about how laws work, the Constitution etc. Just get a bunch of guys with guns and go door to door looking for illegals. That is a great idea, ...

Excuse me but as an AMERICAN I think my RIGHTS TRUMP an ILLEGALS rights by a long shot.
Excuse me, but as an American you should know that our Constitution SPECIFICALLY says that no one person's rights trump any other person's rights.

Well does a citizen of the usa have more rights than a illegal immigrant?
That is what is being said that those not here legally do not have the same rights that were granted to the citizens by our creator via the constitution.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Not to mention the dirty little secret that illegals are the back bone of our economy.
When you break the law and enter illegally you have the RIGHT to be deported. Why fight for the rights of illegals?
You don't see bank robbers and murderers marching and rallying.
Bank robbers steal to feed their families, murderers murder to support their loved one.
Their presence disrupts the economy.
BS our economy relies on illegal immigrants. Are you willing to pay ten bucks for a head of lettuce? It would cost farmers and construction firms many times more than what they are paying now to get jobs done because they get away with paying illegals bottom line wages to get the job done because they are willing to do the job that Americans simply won't do at the price these people are willing to pay.

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?
What about due process? What happens if they make a mistake.....error in the system?
This is a bad, bad deal and no one should support gestapo-like tactics. If Obama or a Leftist had said something like this we would be calling them Hitler.

You do not hold the people who gave her the means with a job to do her criminal deeds? I was a CNA for 15 years, then in the 90's they started hiring mexicans and Ukranians and Russsians and our wages went completely stagnant. Families loved hiring them, cause they would work for less than me.

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.
THIS ^^^
Call me nuts, if you like, but I do look forward to a One World Government, where human rights are extended equally to all human citizens of the earth. There still will be countries and patriotism, but people will be free to roam the earth at will, without concern for borders, and choose to live their lives and settle down how and where they see fit.
You think countries and patriotism will exist with no borders and peoples freedom to move around at will and do what they want ?
That is a very odd statement.
