The subject is people who entered illegally or have remained past their visas. Illegal aliens under federal law. Outside of kooks, no one wants to deport legal residents. They may want to limit some form of migration but that’s not the question and that’s not what ICE are concerned with. It’s not even in their scope in any way.

> Outside of kooks, no one wants to deport legal residents.

I agree, but that's not what you wrote in your original comment and were asked to defend and then failed to defend. You claimed that 60% of the population wants all aliens deported. The word "all" there means your claim included legal residents. Now you're backpedaling, I guess.

    If you read further down you see I reference illegal aliens. Thats the jist.

      That's not what you wrote, though. You wrote:

      > ~60-ish percent of the pop want all aliens deported not only criminal aliens

      That statement covers both illegal and legal aliens. Do you not know what the words you wrote mean? Why are you lying about your words that are plainly visible on this page if you do know what they mean?

A common technique used by illegal immigration sympathizers is to artfully conflate the two for argument's sake.

    A common technique used by racists is to pretend they are only care about illegal immigration.

      Which is interesting when coupled with the fact that the people enthusiastically carrying that out is CBP agents (the people that murdered Pretti) at 50% latino/hispanic, and ICE also disproportionately latino. Why are minorities so overrepresented in the racist forces?

        "Murder" is a very specific form of homicide and is both legally and morally unlikely to be the correct term here.
