What do you think about the riots/protests in the US?

Do laws matter? What is new about immigration that now makes it ok to do so illegally?

Calling it riots, is a hyperbole. It's not really about immigration, it's about due process. Do you understand what that means?

@Northwest the MAGA people don't think about laws they break.

@samueltyler2 I'm independent, not Maga, not leftist. I understand about due process, I don't understand how breaking the law justifies breaking the law. What about human trafficking and drug smuggling? I don't know if this is the right answer, I'm not saying it is, but this issue is much more complex than a single issue.

Then you should consider that this is a manufactured crisis, including the riots claim.

The Guard was not rounding up "rioters". They were providing support to ICE as they started rounding people up from Home Depot parking lots.

Does this sound like fighting human trafficking to you? How about drug smuggling?

Let's separate the facts from the hyperbole and politics.

Does the millions to be deported goal sound to you like we have millions of traffickers and drug smugglers mowing our lawns, cleaning our homes?

But here's what they're doing: rounding people up and deporting them, and legit US citizens and legit legal immigrants. Next thing you know, they're in El Salvador without due process. So if you understand due process, you should be concerned.

@Northwest I am concerned, that's why I posed the question. I'm not willing to discount anyone's position at this point on the information available.

@Steve42 Nope, sorry. Unless you toe the lefty line on each and every issue, you are marked as MAGA! There is no grey area or nuance to be found.

@GerOttman Well, I certainly disagree with the death penalty and I lean prolife. So who am I?

@oldguy73 Reported to admin. A guy your age, you should be ashamed of that filthy language.

@Steve42 Hey, I'm a libertarian with strong anarchist leanings. But I don't approve or participate in political hate or violence, so that makes me MAGA to some. Toe the line or get called out! I don't make the rules around here.

@Steve42 what does that have to do with what is happening in LA?
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Steve42 so who will you trust?
Steve42 · 56-60, M
@samueltyler2 One's political views may indicate a general position on the matter.

I don't trust anyone except myself and God above.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Steve42 but you are not there to witness it yourself!
Steve42 · 56-60, M
@samueltyler2 Right, so I asked the question.
GerOttman · 61-69, M
@Steve42 How'd that work out for you??
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Steve42 and apparently did not pay any attention to the answers.
