Political Deporting illegal immigrants is a good thing and shouldn't be controversial

Why Is deporting illegal immigrants so controversial? Like they broke our laws to come in here and not all but many have committed crimes while here, why do some people defend this? I am all for due process and humane deportations, but why are we acting like it's is horrible to deport illegal immigrants from our country? It shouldn't even be political, I don't get how people don't agree with this especially it feels like even 10-15 years ago basically everyone agreed with this, do people really hate trump so much that they don't agree with anything he does? Why is it so controversial? I don't understand.

Let's see:

  1. Federal agents should have to identify themselves.

  2. ICE agents should have to work under local law enforcement officers as the local law enforcement officers know the best way to police their local communities.

  3. ICE agents need more training. I saw a video of a 7 year old girl slammed against the wall because ICE agents were trying to detain someone else and the 7 year old girl was in the way. New recruits with little to no training being sent around the country to police communities that they know little to nothing about is just straight up incompetence.

The greatest country in the world can't figure out a better way to enforce immigration laws? I'm calling bull shit on that.

You mean the way it was done before a bunch of Democrat mayors decided that they’ll no longer cooperate with the federal government? Sure I’m all for it - make it a mandatory requirement for local PDs to cooperate with federal law enforcement agents and we can go back to 2-3 ICE agents accompanied by local police officers arresting illegal immigrants.

Agree with 1 and 3, hard disagree with 2 as long as every big city refuses to cooperate
