The person who should ultimately be blamed is the person who is illegally in the US.

Why blame the cops for the arrest of a criminal?

So I assume you blame Rosa Parks for not sitting at the back of the bus? It was illegal to do what she did, so therefore she was a criminal.

Not saying that has to be the case here, but just because something is against the law doesn't mean breaking it is morally bad.

If you believe that illegal aliens are coming to the US for the express purpose of civil disobedience (I think that is a fair summary of what Rosa Parks was doing), please show evidence of this.

People are coming here because they think they can find a better life. What is the argument for trying to stop that?

Also, the phrase "illegal alien" is extremely dehumanizing. These are just people.

Everyone in the world wants a better life. The reason for stopping it is the same reason all countries south of the US also have immigration laws.

Ok, sure, I agree all borders are problematic. So what reason is that?

Oh, so you are basically just a troll, then.

I just want a better life, too.

Can I have your stuff? Why not?

"Illegal alien" is a precise legal term which is used to accurately define a legal status. It's like saying that "convicted murderer" is dehumanizing...

Your comment seems to be saying that this is the case here. Otherwise, why invoke Rosa Parks if there is no connection.

I am sure I can find a long list of murderers and rapists that ICE has deported from the country, does opposing ICE mean supporting murderers and rapists?
