Why do you think they should have no say in the matter? Forced deportation is violent and cruel, and results in the separation of families. If either party actually cared about the people, or budgets, or morality, instead of spending tens of thousands of dollars to remove each person, they would just check them in, have them sign a piece of paper, and grant them legal status. permalink fedilink source parent [–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago (2 children) To what Democratic policy or policies are you referring? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Kaboom@reddthat.com -14 points 1 year ago (1 child) The one against deporting illegal immigrants? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago Okay, but like specifically what law, proposed or enacted? permalink fedilink source parent [+] plyth@feddit.org -7 points 1 year ago (4 children) 25 downvotes, no upvotes?

It doesn't matter what people say, it's important what happens.
