For anyone that thinks we have a logical and "generous" immigration system is just not thinking clearly.
If what was happening now happened in 1976 my mother in law would've been deported along with my wife. This is a situation that has happened multiple times since ICE has started their heinous and unconstitutional tactics. Arresting people with no warrants, holding them without lawyers etc etc
We have deported military veterans and American citizens. Many without due process. I keep hearing about criminals and yes we should deport those that have committed certain crimes. However I never hear anyone ever say we should go after the real criminals, the corporations and businesses that knowingly hire undocumented workers to take advantage of them and their labor. The truth is we will go after those with no voice because it is easier than going after Exxon or Amazon.

We need to make legal immigration way faster than this!
But we also need to handle illegal immigration way faster too. You can't just walk to the border from any country and say "Asylum" then stay forever. Or have Joe Biden create some bullshit app and say every person that used that app gets to stay here forever. The most recent story is the dad that ditched his kid, still gets sent back to Minnesota with his kid he ditched to save himself. He came across the border in January 2024 with the Biden App, but somehow in February 2026, he still didn't have his "Asylum" hearing held. 2 fucking years, and he was still here with no hearing.
