Can any American explain why throwing out *illegal* immigrants is, in any way, a controversial topic? Why do you even have borders?

Because there are cases where there is grey area. For example, certain laws protect children who are now adults from deportation.

Won't happen without changing the US Constitution. 14th says if you're born here, you're American.

That case can be their visa expires and the kid doesn't have citizenship. There hundreds are scenarios you can't think of that happen.

You seriously have no clue how this works. 2% of US workers are ag. They produce ALL your food so you have spare time to troll the internet.
HitlersForeskin
I hate to break it to you but they produce probably about .0000025% of what I actually consume. Which is the sugar I use to make hooch.
weeBob
Because lots of people feel that because America is *rich*, we should be obligated to solve other people's problems. It's a guilt thing.
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
Immigrants have helped us become rich, despite what Fox or Breitbart tells you.
HitlersForeskin
So true
northcarolinaisbeststate
Don't forget us people who think its stupid you need visas and passports to go to countries.
GapingAnalCavity
Same argument in Europe but hardly anyone here is arguing that people who enter illegally should be allowed to stay.
WhatzitTooya
Uhm, most of the middle-eastern Refugees entered illegally, about half of them gets to stay since they come from a war zone...

That's because y'all are intelligent

Babies are born in the US and given citizenship automatically. It's like a fast tracking citizenship through your child and asking for pitty

It costs US taxpayers a hell of a lot more than it saves to take a breadwinner (who was brought here as a child) away from his American kids

Trump's campaign promise of throwing out all illegal immigrants in a matter of months is not possible given constitutionally-mandated (1)
Tunisia
due process. So promising to do it is promising to break the constitution. Also, it's less the enforcement of illegal immigration and (2)

more the divisive, racist rhetoric which is used to stir up support for it. (3)
evilblackdog
Isn't due process for our citizens?

No, SCOTUS has determined that it applies to everyone in the US, regardless of citizenship or immigration status.
Counterfit
The only parts of the Constitution that don't apply to non-citizens are voting rights and one other thing that I can't remember. Jury duty?

Because America, unlike every other country in the world, needs to be open to literally anyone who wants to come.
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
Nobody said "literally anyone"

Cuz it's not like America has a statue that promises opportunity and freedom to the tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free
pleaseconsiderthatImightbejoking
Poems on statues is not a basis for public policy.
TheRockDude
Well, I was going to elaborate on how America was trying to sell itself as the land of opportunity to foreigners, only to greet foreigners -

Well damn I guess I can stop carving addendums down at the courthouse then.

Having a self-selected second class you don't have to give minimum wage or entitlements to is fucking awesome for everyone else.
CIAtimetravelinghitlerkiller
Your guess is as good as mine
PillaPlease
Many people come to flee violence. Sending them back isn't the answer.
DahPanda72
You're right it isn't but we aren't trying to be the answer to the citizens of another country.
PillaPlease
That's right. Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em all. Fuck you, too, and take the down vote fairies with you.

Just because a human has the right to life does not mean we have to provide it to everyone

I'll be sure not to flinch when someone has a gun pointed at your head and threatens to kill your whole family.

Any you dont have to interfere (unless you have sworn an oath aka. police). We do not have to protect people in other countries either. /
jesusfuckingchristwhatnameisnttaken4
Because they benefit our society, deporting them is a lose-lose scenario. Legality is used as a technicality, but it's truly just racism.
TallGuy82
Not a race issue, a legal issue.
Softcreamybeige
Long answer short: our economic offshoring makes livable wages impossible in their countries (kickbacks to politicians to keep low wages) 1/
Softcreamybeige
We used to allow short term workers to come here for migrant positions (farming). This worked, for a long time, they'd go back home after 2/
Softcreamybeige
Then came the war on drugs (something something US govt, cocaine, iran, guns nicaragua....) and we decided to stop many short visas 3/
Softcreamybeige
Well, guess who needed people to work still (Americans can't work agriculture w/o tumbling the econonu) 4/

Some idiots believe we shouldn't.
WoeToHice
Dumping kids into the foster care system because you deported both parents *should* be a controversial topic.
theresgarlicinthatnebula
Well when the law tears apart families, I'd say criticism of the law on the basis of it tearing apart families is okay.
Oteneo
so when a citizen, for example, breaks the law they shouldn't go to jail because they would be separated from their family?
theresgarlicinthatnebula
Depends on the crime. Jaywalking? No. Murder? Yes. The question becomes where is the line?
Oteneo
are you aware of people that have been deported for jaywalking?
theresgarlicinthatnebula
I'm establishing the extremes in order to prove the point that a line needs to be negotiated.
iCommunicateInGifs
Was there a part of that specific cartoon that you found inaccurate?
Thekingofbeans
You could replaces ICE with any agency arresting a parent for any crime and the kids would be just as sad. Demonizing ICE is stupid.
iCommunicateInGifs
Pretty accurate depiction. Calling it stupid doesn't somehow make them less villainous.
Thekingofbeans
How are they villainous for arresting someone who is breaking the law?

AustinITguy
First, I do not like or support Trump. Now why am I the bad guy for wanting people to obey the law, take care of each other, and the Govt
whyteraven74
So how do you propose everyone be able to get health care?
AustinITguy
Please define health care.
AustinITguy
I am asking because you may (for example) be referring to Health Insurance and no solution I would propose would leave that in existence.
AustinITguy
to leave us alone and not force it's way into every nook and cranny of our lives?
TristanVIII
Because socialism and forced altruism is the word of the day. You WILL cut off your own arm to support others.
zzzb
The socialist policies we have in place right now are the only things keeping the standard of living from plummeting for the general public.
AustinITguy
It is odd isn't it, we got to this standard of living without this many socialist policies, but now they are the only things keeping it...
IAmJacksRagingBileDuct
It must be nice for all these political cartoonists to have work again after 8 years of not saying a goddam thing during the Obama admin.
ChoppinBroccolai
This comment should be higher.
cajuninjun
why, it's not like there weren't political cartoons of Obama
whyteraven74
Then you weren't paying attention.
Metronomicon
That's unfair. Cheerleading is work afterall.
grumpy173
Next you're going to tell us that conservatives never insulted Obama, called him ni**er, insulted Michelle, etc., right?
crm5590
Really? You never saw a political cartoon of Obama ??
hellifiknowwhatsgoingon
Few and far between, tbh. Not the saturation we have now (or for Bush Jr.) someone's going to have carpal tunnel from the constant drawing.
Kargathia
Cartoons thrive on the silly and simple. Great for Bushisms and Trumperific baloney, not so much for in-depth policy critiques.
GrumpyOldManWhatSignedUpToCommentThis
There's nothing inherently funny about a bomb every 20 minutes? The football analogies alone should have a year's worth of mileage.
Kargathia
Cynic in me says that that's mostly target audience - Americans don't know or care that "some arab" lives in constant fear of drone bombs.
