Possible good news on the immigration enforcement front
-
One problem is that the majority of the serious criminal catches have been in these widespread raids. Another issue is the sweeping enforcement has been one of the primary drivers of the reduced crossings. If you reduce these raids, do you ultimately encourage more crossings?

Or give the ones with no criminal records an easy path to citizenship. Fix our labor shortage issue, fix the low fertility rate issue, expand the tax base, fix the aging demographics issue, and solve the immigration issue all at once. If you like the America soon after Reagan’s amnesty, do it again. (Oh, do remind yourself that “amnesty” is a good, virtuous word.)

This sounds reasonable to me.

Or fine them and put them m step one of the standard immigration process. If they violate any steps, then deport them.
Don’t reward lawbreaking. You are just penalizing those that did it the right way.

Though here he’s saying the focus is on Democratic-run cities.
So let’s get this straight - they’re going to focus on blue cities, where people are more chill about immigration, and do less in red states, where they are apoplectic about it.
Ok.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

So I guess the rational thing for an illegal in NYC would be to move to central PA.

Not at all. In general, you are going to see the more criminal element of the illegals living in urban centers. More people, easier to hide, and easier to score. MS13 13 and TdA aren’t generally living in a farming community of 5800 in Oklahoma, they’re living in the he DMV, a metro region with 6M people, and not much agri-business, but plenty of food packaging and processing business, where many shenanigans occur.

Some republican representatives think the deportations might be going to far, or at least targeting the wrong people.
As Jesse Singal said, there’s a lot of support for closing the border and deporting criminals but most people have little stomach for seeing the abuelita down the street get dragged into a van.
