Republicans dragging us all back to the stone age so they can inflict the maximum amount of petty harm.

And cost more in taxes than if they just let these people work who btw pay taxes.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

They do everything in their power to rob vulnerable people of their right to due process under the pretense of upholding law and order... meanwhile their leadership in DC never have to experience consequences, no matter how many laws they break in broad daylight.

I will never let a conservative lecture me on "law and order" when I speak about treating all immigrants, including illegal immigrants, humanely. I know they're fine with their politicians acting above the law so long as the people they dislike are being punished.
