Immigrating to the US without authorization, is in fact illegal.

Zefferino may have hundreds of people supporting him. But 77 million voters say he should be deported.

There needs to be a simple way to avoid deportation.
Maybe try following the law when entering the US.
Never mind…that’s completely unreasonable

Yeah, not all immigration is legal.
Also, I love a good advocate, but I don’t go into other peoples houses and start advocating about what should be done there. If you think this place needs so much change, why’d you come here?
Also, a 14yo advocate? That’s hard to stomach. I like advocates who have vast experience and expertise in a domain. Also, I like people who advocate for things that don’t directly bring them and people like them resources. That’s more selfish pleading than advocating.

Many neolibs & cons

In our region we have become inured to crime without consequences.

Shoplifting, graffiti, illegal immigration, hit-and-runs, shootings all are now commonplace.

So, the arrest of someone who illegally entered the country comes as a shock. But, what he did was and is illegal.

Local government does nothing about crime, but the Federal government is taking on crime. Surely this must be hard for progressives and wealthy white women to handle.

The 'legal' ways to immigrate exist mostly for people with means. Got $5 million for a 'gold card?' (or the actual EB5 visa which is only $1.8M or $800k in some cases)

How do people 'legally' wait in line when they are fleeing violence, war, hunger, famine, climate change, oppression and there is nowhere for them to physically wait safely?

What do you say to the people who followed the rules - the legal way to wait in line - by giving away all of their info into the CBP-One app only for the government to turn around and use the info against them to round them up and expel them? Why would anyone trust or believe there is a 'legal' path after that?

So then there is no path - what should these people do? What are you going to do when the fascists run out of brown people to terrorize and come for you - and you try to flee to Canada or wherever - only then will you care what happens to people trying to find somewhere to go...

...when it happens to you?

@7 SeattleLove -

Linking the I-589 forms in response to a rhetorical question - are you a LLM running a troll account?

People can file all the right forms and do all the right things, but the administration is clearly not honoring any of it. For example - DHS revoked parole for half a million people on a whim!
https://www.npr.org/2025/03/22/nx-s1-5337214/dhs-revokes-humanitarian-parole-cubans-haitians-nicaraguans-venezuelans

So what are those people supposed to do? And again my question still stands - why would anyone believe or trust that there is a legal path when the government capriciously and arbitrarily breaks its own word?
