So you start with a bad faith argument right out the gate. I didn't realize 320 million people are in immediate need of processing by the federal courts.
I can easily say you're advocating for cheap exploitable labor because you as an educated affluent person (since you're on here), want someone cheap to clean your home or make your food and don't deal with the direct consequences since you don't compete for housing, resources, etc.
Don't create extreme situations and then act shocked when it gets an extreme reaction and the majority populace has an appetite to allow it to happen.
The same way you exercise it for 320 million other people. The same way it has been exercised for every person who immigrated to American soil. Including your ancestors.
Let's be clear about what you're actually saying and you're advocating for, you are advocating for the suspension of due process and fundamental rights to an entire class of human beings you see as the other.
If history has taught us anything, the definition of who and what is other changes over time. One day, you too shall be the other. And that day you will beg for the due process and fundamental rights you wish to deprive these people.
When the Benjamin Franklin said, "... if you can keep it." This type of thought process is precisely what he meant.
