You literally avoided my whole question. Why do you want illegal immigrants here? I’d think youd want them here legally rather but maybe I’m just crazy. Is it just mean to deport people? If I was in Canada illegally and they arrested me and sent me back to the US, I wouldnt think Canada was a shitty country for it.
No human being is “illegal.” This is a very overused and thinly-veiled way to admit you’re a racist while expecting others to miss the context.
Dang you got me.
You really thought no one knew?
