You fail again by conflating legal immigration with illegal immigration.  There is a difference that you fail to acknowledge, let alone see.

All's that I can tell about you, old man, is that you are already well into your second childhood and making less and less sense the farther you progress into your second childhood, old man ...

You are becoming dangerously close to senility; so close you can't even tell.



last week I wasn't old enough for you to call myself old, but now I'm senile? Yet you are older than me (as you like to remind me).  Now let's do an assessment on how much your depletion of health care resources has impacted other people who are paying into the health care system?  It's just not fair that they aren't getting the same treatments that you are (with or without a disease).

No, this is 100% you or you'd be railing against ICE going after US CITIZENS. You say you're all for legal immigration but here are people who came in "the right way" and you're silent about it, and the indiscriminate racist methods used to round up whoever isn't white.

It's pretty simple, I agree: Both cases are murders. You use the murder of a young woman as a way to vilify an entire subgroup of the American population. The murder of a different young woman gets a shrug from you because why? White guy. 

Immigrant kills a girl: Terrorize all immigrants, and people who might be immigrants, citizens or not, doesn't matter, just cause pain and suffering and death to all because isn't she pretty?

White Ohio guy kills a girl:
 arrest, trial, prison. Neighbors, friends and family safe in their homes. No churches staked out or neighborhood Target store clerks curb-stomped. No white moms yanked out of their running cars with kids in the backseat and hauled away while strangers take care of their kids.
And I'm the one being accused of being disingenuous ? Please.

What you are doing is conflating local law enforcement actions with federal immigration actions.  Local law enforcement has a different mission and purpose than that of federal immigration enforcement.  It is that simple.

Not like there are any white guys around who use far more resources than they put into the system (cough, cough, your insurance company).  

Maybe we just see a benefit from helping people who need it to become valuable and contributing members of the society? And we believe that on average those people are a net benefit.  Birth rates are down. By 2030 we are projected to have more deaths than births. That means in 4 years we will be DEPENDENT on immigration for growth, which is what your whole economic model is based on (for better or worse argument tabled here). Also, much to your chagrin, immigrants tend to have more babies.

The first priority for removal and deportation is those who are criminals.  You disagree with that ?  Evidently.

And square that with "Defund the Police" from your side.  So "Ohio Man" can keep walking free.

You are the one who is making no sense.

Truth is, you want no one deported. To you there is no such thing as illegal immigration and our borders should be wide open to anyone and everyone who wants to come in.  And shower them with benefits by taking the funds away from US citizens to benefit the "recent arrivals" who you so steadfastly support.

Why not? They kill more young women per capita than immigrants, but you're content to let the wheels of justice grind slowly for the more dangerous group but insist on total eradication for the other, less dangerous group.

Sorry, did not click on your link.  The premise you presented was enough not to need to.  I took it to be another "oh look, a squirrel" as is so often leveled at me.  If the "Ohio Man" example is so important to your argument defending illegal immigrant crime, why don't you just give me your synopsis in your own words instead.

Crime is crime.  Excusing or minimizing crime because a certain group commits less of it per capita which is the argument put forth, does not excuse it at any level.
