We're talking about 42 million Americans. Police can't possibly catch that much shoplifting, and even if we could, our prison capacity is about 1.1 million and it's already well over capacity.
You're also suggesting we just make one eighth of the population into slaves. Okay, who the fuck is going to oversee the slavery? Nothing you're saying is realistic or thought through.
Which has been my point the whole time. Politicians tell you they're gonna deport all the migrants, and the very second that they're forced to deal with reality in any way, they're like: oh.
That was facetious but how about my other point.
For every illegal you deport, you let someone in legally from the same country. That's demographically equivalent to amnesty, but doesn't reward criminals. Do you have an argument against that or do you love illegals that much?
I'm not a legalist. There are hundreds of thousands of laws and rules that an American is subject to. Many are stupid. Many are deprecated. Some, the vast majority of lawyers and judges don't even know about.
With a system this stupid, my first priority isn't making sure all the rules are followed. You know what one of my first actual priorities is? Affordable food and a well-fed populace.
