I don’t think it was an assertion of equivalence. I certainly wouldn’t make that argument. It was still a stupid and tone-deaf thing to do.

Well, if they are not allowed to nab the kids out of the classroom, those slippery little aliens will slide right by and disappear into the dead of afternoon. Why should we handicap those ICE men so?

Good for them. They’re doing God’s work.

Borders and immigration restrictions are the work of Satan.

Only Satan-worshipping degenerates have a problem with this.

Clothahump, why are you a Satan-worshipping degenerate?

He’s been in the country for at least 25 years and has four daughters, ages twenty-four, nineteen, thirteen, and twelve. That means four citizens are facing the loss of their family’s only income due to your beloved Not-Hillary’s policies.

Should’ve said “…have been facing…” given that this happened in February and I don’t know their current situation.

Those ICE agents clearly are not competent enough to carry out proper surveillance. These school boards are rightly concerned about the possibility of ICE dragging the wrong person out of school in front of several children and are taking steps to prevent that.

He was one of those bad hombres the Orange Scumbag, Herr Twittler, is protecting us from.

Uh huh :smack:

Uh, no. That would be due to enforcement of laws that have been on the books for many years. And if they had been enforced for those years, you wouldn’t have gotten the chance to make that stupid remark.

A person would have to be fucked in the head to think that sending ICE to schools to round up kids as they’re away from their parents is a good idea.  
Quite seriously and permanently fucked in the head.

It’s not just the kids they are after. They know they can get the parents as they are picking up or dropping off their kids too.

If they start arresting parents dropping off their kids, then parents will stop taking their kids to school, win-win for the bigots.

This guy _tried_ to make himself all legal but got screwed by his “attorney”. Now his whole family has been screwed by Not-Hillary.

Umm…doesn’t matter what you linked. The guy was here illegally. The only way to make that legal is to leave the country, then re-immigrate LEGALLY. It ain’t rocket surgery.

Umm…the way to make it legal is what the law says. Not what chump-a-loth Clothahump says or wants the law to say.

The fact that you have no response to post 5898 is very telling.
