This is the last time I'm replying to you, Kyuubi. As multiple people have pointed out, you frequently don't know what you're talking about. You also refuse to acknowledge facts that run contrary to your opinion, and you won't cite anything but your own personal opinion. I enjoy civil discussions with people who don't agree with me, but you've repeatedly shown yourself to be a poorly informed hypocrite. So I'm done here.
Kyuubi4269 posted...How is stopping immigrants stopping police catching murderers and rapists? They don't interrupt eachother so neither needs to take precedence.
In case you've forgotten, this discussion started with a woman complaining at a local town meeting that the city should enforce federal immigration law. That's using finite resources that municipalities need to deal with criminals like rapists and murderers.
Kyuubi4269 posted...You claim it's reductive, I say it's comparative. You claim it's absurd, thus I claim it's absurd as the two are comparable.
Yet again, you've made it apparent you have absolutely no idea what reductio ad absurdum is.
Kyuubi4269 posted...I am quite happy to state they are illegal and that refusal to enforce the law makes law redundant, but you won't refute that.
Except I did just that by repeatedly citing prosecutorial discretion. It's the reason why DAs are spending their time prosecuting rape and child molestation instead of sodomy and adultery despite all four things being equally illegal.
Kyuubi4269 posted...No, you're a raging feminist because of what you've said in prior topics. Regardless, refusing to deal with illegal immigration is not supported by the majority of Americans otherwise there would have been a vote to open all borders and it would have passed.
Because I post things that a majority of Americans agree with and back that up with statistics and articles? Lol. And FYI, the majority of Americans believe there should be a pathway to legal status for illegal immigrants who committed no other crimes. There are many policies supported by a broad coalition of the American people, yet have not been taken up by Congress due to corruption and dysfunction.

No, I'm arguing that immigration law should be applied with discretion because many experts agree that mass deportations would be harmful to the US.You have shown zero evidence for your position that mass deportations are beneficial to society.
Kyuubi4269 posted...And it is, that's why illegal immigrants are increasing, not dropping.
Note the prioritisation means they will get around to it and intend to prosecute, not that they won't do low priority prosecutions.
Illegal immigration is down, not up. What's increasing lately is the number of asylum seekers. And as the legal definition I linked to earlier states, the concept of prosecutorial discretion does allow for charges to be dropped entirely.

You stated it wasn't available OTC which is incorrect. Can you ever admit you're mistaken on anything?
