    Why is it better to break apart communities to enforce a misdemeanor charge if calm, dispassionate armed agents of the state do it?

      A lot of things need to change and it won’t be easy/overnight. I don’t think CBP needs to be enforcing 200 miles from the borders, which covers almost every major populated area in the US. I think the path to citizenship needs to be a lot easier and faster. And I think misdemeanors should be enforced, but not with aggression, kidnapping, and imprisonment.

        It’s actually worse than that because they’re allowed to consider airports a border, which means every populated area.
