The real issue shouldn't be about everyone searching to find reasons to justify ICE's recent actions. The discussion should be about the immigration policy. There is a reason there are illegals who work the **** jobs and the policy has not been changed.
* Large farms can exploit them much easier.
* Few people really care about the immigrant laborers.
* Also many work in the system and pay taxes but can not get the benefits or representation. When deported their assets and savings accounts can get seized.
* It's extremely difficult for a poor laborer to pay the fees, fill out all the required paperwork AND get approval. The immigration department tracks rejection rates for it's over 75 different non-immigrant visa types https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/e...visas.html but they don't publish rejection rates for immigration visas -- probably for a reason.
* Intensionally keeping the immigration policy broken is done on purpose because people with money, lawyers or in-demand job skills can qualify for visas and residency status, whereas laborers are forced into the black markets and often languish there.
* Every time an applicant is rejected they loose their application fees, which can be quite expensive and also is a good source of government revenue.
* The US only operates visa application offices in a few locations and people applying have to travel and wait at those locations because if they miss a meeting they get rejected.
Zero tolerance on immigration status isn't a very American policy until recently. We see more people from Hawaii being effected:
* Herbert Carino Asylum denied: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017...go-duterte
* Deportation on Ortiz on 30 day hold: http://www.staradvertiser.com/2017/06/08...portation/
Should deportation become the new standard of punishment for everyone to be fair? Got a DUI? Drug conviction? Off to Australia with you on the ships, just like the old days.
