Yes, agree that the internment shouldn’t be his entire legacy. But I still don’t think that deporting people (mostly criminals or designated terrorists as members of MS-13 or TDA) here in the country illegally is on the same level as putting our own in camps. I do have some issues with the agreement with El Salvador (like how long will they be in that jail), but there is a difference between the two. Btw, recently went to the FDR Presidential library, really cool place with lots of interesting stuff.

Please explain, I don’t see the connection.

A minute of research would have uncovered that the government claims the mother requested both of her children be deported with her, that the father for some reason didn’t petition the court on his own, but designated a family friend to be her custodian and take her home from ICE custody. Sounds like the mother and ICE acted in the best interest of the children. The intellectual dishonesty of some people is actually astounding.

No the law doesn’t say I’m wrong. But trying to have a discussion with someone who has lost all sense of intellectual honesty because of their hatred for the current president is pointless.

Thank you for your suggestion but I’ve already read that article and I don’t find it compelling. I think it is of utmost importance that only US citizens be allowed to vote in National elections in order for each vote to count. No one’s vote should be diluted by an illegal vote, whether it’s by someone voting multiple times, someone voting in another persons name or an ineligible voter casing a vote. I feel that it’s one of our most important rights and I am willing to make sacrifices to be able to participate. Yes, I’ve moved states several times, had a name change and through it all I sucked it up, traveled to town halls, took time from work and hauled my kids with me and got it done. I also have the right to bear arms, that doesn’t mean the government is going to provide all the applications, courses and a gun for free.

That is really the only safeguard there is when someone shows up to vote. I didn’t say to buy a car, I said a license to drive. You don’t have to own a car to drive. There are many rights in the Constitution that legislators have put limits on, the right to bear arms, assembly, even free speech. Btw, I’m enjoying this conversation, I hope you are too.

What are you go-to cookbooks for meal inspiration? Snacks, appetizers, desserts, drinks too.

So we should remove all safeguards for a free and fair election because homeless people may not be able to keep track of id. Should we do this for driver licenses? Those aren’t free and are required to prove you are a legal driver.

If you have become a citizen sometime after birth you have papers you were given upon becoming a citizen. Most people know exactly where theirs are, may actually be easier to access than a birth certificate if you’ve moved from your birth city. But again, with rights are responsibilities, and proving you’re a citizen is one of them.

I agree, a copy of. Your birth certificate is an easy solution.

Spent many years in the great American heartland in rural and urban areas, so you don’t know of what you speak. I’m not sure if I’m more uncomfortable by the fact that you’re ok with with the treatment of a minority or the fact that you try to pigeonhole that that don’t agree with you. Racism is racism, I’m sorry you don’t see it that way

The cost is between $0 and $50 and lasts several years, with many waivers available. if you’re poor enough to receive benefits, you are given an id card. Most others have the $ to get a card.

I think you missed my point, they are not being deported for their political beliefs, but for acting in ways that take others civil rights away. As I said if any other minority was treated like the Jewish students are being treated on campus there would be national outcry. If you don’t believe me, replace “black” for “Jewish”, as you read through the incidents of what actually happened.
