Immigrants are "screened". The vast majority of illegal immigrants simply don't leave after their visa expires. "Screening more" wouldn't do a thing.

How you're so ignorant about how scale and immigration actually work in the real world.

Freefall, listen to me. I don't give a shit if it's 0.0000000001% of illegals that are criminals!

I genuinely cannot tell if you're a poe or not right now.

I don't think anybody in this thread doubts this.

The fact that thousands of them are criminals and most of them (criminals) are violent and have killed Americans is sickening. We need to protect the American people first instead of letting in everybody!

You seriously overestimate how lenient the American immigration system is if you think "everybody" is being let in. Start here. Read through that and then dare to tell me that the US immigration system is anything but strict.

For most illegal immigrants being overstayers? Sure.

Kid, that's a political cartoon made for a small, Libertarian magazine. I was hoping for some government citation but I guess not.........

Ok, that may be true. But what about the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who are just crossing the border annually?

If you don't believe the fairly basic statistics shown (for example, the amount of visas given out per yer per category or the amount of time it takes for a resident to become a citizen), feel free to read more here.

Statistically insignificant and not enough to warrant "the wall" which would cost somewhere in the range of $15 to $25 billion, plus whatever it'll cost to maintain a year for questionable results.

I'm glad no one is hurt...but at the same time I wouldn't have been too choked up if he grazed him. You know just enough to take him out of the running.

If you're against Trump, I would highly advise against being happy about giving his supporters a "stabbed in the back" narrative.

You have to trust someone to be betrayed. I doubt Trump even knew the guy.

I am glad he was stopped.

I despise Trump, but I will never condone vigilantism, murder, or terrorism as an acceptable part of the political process. Both because those things are wrong in and of themselves, and because they lead to bad results for society as a whole.

I don't want Trump dead. I want him defeated in the election, his views repudiated by We the People, not made a martyr for fascism and white supremacy.

We're through the looking glass, people.

From what people have claimed he is either an Illuminati agent, a Chinese spy, or a Mexican spy.

Obviously this means Trump is a Templar

Ey, Trump already got more merit to his safety than all the articles where reporters said they heard that someone was going to strike at Obama.

Going to get an ounce of the same media outrage? Of course not. Either way, glad his majesty was caught and by the looks of him he is probably not going to enjoy big boy jail.

I blame the Bond movies. Now every nutter thinks the voices he's hearing are the MI6 telling him what to do.

Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) provides protection from deportation for individuals whose home countries are unstable, therefore making return dangerous. Unlike TPS, which is authorized by statute, DED is at the discretion of the executive branch.

Certain individuals may be allowed to enter the U.S. through parole, even though he or she may not meet the definition of a refugee and may not be eligible to immigrate through other channels. Parolees may be admitted temporarily for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.

I believe that illegal immigrants from Latin America would qualify for this.

Also, if the wall will have "questionable results", then why has the National Border Patrol Council, who has had a policy of never endorsing a president, endorsed Trump and advocates for the wall? They know what's best for the border, better than any other statistician or politician.

Not terribly surprised. He's still a fucking idiot though.

Hey idiot

Next time. Don't try to kill Donald Trump by stealing a gun from a cop.

It like trying to getting your dinner by stealing a steak from a tiger cage. :roll:

Well, this is embarassing. Do you think Trump is going to call for a ban on all British people entering the US now?
