We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.
-
Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

My only objection to this would be children of immigrants who entered illegally where the child has grown and is a productive member of society.
Just as you didn’t have a say in where you were born or grew up, neither did they so it doesn’t make to give them a punishment for a crime they did not commit.
If they grew up as Americans, they should be treated as Americans and given citizenship status regardless of their parent’s status.
Just one example of the compassion we should have in the process.
They can leave and go through the normal process to come back.
But I’m an admitted hard ass. The big problem is you can’t prove their story. You’ll get flooded with applicants just like we’re getting flooded with “asylum seekers” now.
I dunno, we’ve had social media for a few decades now and mass surveillance for much longer. If they’re lying it wouldn’t be hard to prove.
What you’re advocating for is a formality that our current justice system is way too overloaded to handle. Until we staff more judges specifically for immigration that will not be feasible and will only cause undue hardship.
I get your thinking but with our current system where many have to wait a year or longer just for their day in court, no.
