Had a “discussion” last night about the deportations. My friend said “if they are illegals who are criminals, they should be deported “ and “if you are here illegally, you need to go”. I didn’t know how to make a case against what she was saying. HELP ME! - ThreadSky

@Doreen32128 Not meaning to give you homework but I do like the Vox explainers and articles on immigration.

@Doreen32128 Also, Elon Musk and Melanoma Trump worked in the US illegally. I wonder if your friend thinks they should be deported? I'm sure they'll have some rationalization like "They've done good things for the country" or "They've been here for a long time now" that they wouldn't extend to […]
