Counterpoint: Donald Trump campaigned on mass deportation and got elected in a landslide. The “migrants” you speak of can work, have families, and pay taxes in their home countries. And if they want to do that here, there’s a process.
The *vast* majority of the American public does not support mass deportations for migrants who have no criminal record. These people work and pay taxes and have families here. People on X can yell and scream about it, but they fact is they're out of touch with most people.

You are not caught in limbo when you choose to come here illegally and then face deportation. You are experiencing the consequences of the course of action you chose.

That’s one reason why I voted for @JamesUthmeierFL - because he is against killing unborn babies.
James Uthmeier thinks the government should decide whether, when, and how you have children. Your family. Your future. Your decision. I’m running for Florida Attorney General to keep it that way and get James Uthmeier out of your doctor’s office.

What about the part where he pretended to be gay to avoid deportation?
This guy is a devout Christian who was granted protection from his home country because Islamist terrorists are trying to institute sharia law. He's lived here half his life. He's married to an American & has American kids. This is not who the government should be targeting.

There is no issue of "Guilt". That is a criminal law concept. He's not being sent to jail as punishment. He's being detained until he can be removed because if left on his own he's unlikely to leave voluntarily -- as he has shown by remaining the country illegally for years.

The Palestinian flag has become the universal symbol of the red-green alliance. A degrowth death cult. Nations that stand behind it are guaranteed to proceed into ruin.

“Leaving many unable to vote” 🤨 They’re just saying the quiet part out loud now, aren’t they?
Immigration officials approved 173,000 people for citizenship through the first eight months of 2026, down 72 percent from last year. A sharp tapering off in naturalizations has left hundreds of thousands of immigrants waiting as midterms approach. wapo.st/4z8e6E3

Open-border shills say, “He lived here with no criminal record.” Should we wait until an illegal alien commits a serious felony before deporting him? Should we wait until he victimizes an American?

A lot of sob stories from open-border shills complaining that immigration laws are now being enforced equally. What they really want is selective enforcement. Sorry, that’s not how justice works. Get over yourselves.

Upholding federal immigration law is not “lawlessness.” 🤡
A nation does not solve problems of lawlessness by perpetuating more lawlessness and injustice

And yet this guy who “spent half his life” in U.S. and married an American never decided to fill out the paperwork to gain legal status? Oh well 🤷🏻

Oh, and more context to this latest sob story that open border shills conveniently ignore.
This illegal alien is @60Minutes poster child for what it claims are wrongful deportations. I pulled his file. His claimed reason for fearing Mali was that he is “gay,” just in case you’re wondering how bad the immigration fraud problem is.

Deport all illegal aliens. What happens to them? Is there a problem not ours.
As the Trump administration seeks to carry out the largest deportation in American history, it is removing more and more people to countries they are not from and often have no ties to. It's called “third-country deportation." A 60 Minutes investigation reveals how some of these third countries are forcing deportees back to the nations they fled, places where U.S. immigration judges have ruled they could not be sent because they’d likely face persecution or torture. All-new Sunday.

When an apostate speaks, the truth must speak louder. Jude spent 16 of 25 verses exposing men who sat at the love feasts and held the mic. “Waterless clouds. Fruitless trees, twice dead, uprooted.” A résumé isn’t a confession. Contend for the faith. Once. For all. (Jude 3, 12). A - for Apostate.
Replying to @ZachWLambert
Christian since 5. Pastor since 19. That's a résumé, Zach, not a confession. Arius was ordained too. An apostate rarely leaves the church. He stays in the pulpit and rewrites the faith. That's you. You told a same-sex couple their marriage "brings great joy to the heart of God." You posted that there are "absolutely no 'biblical' grounds for being anti-trans." Jesus disagreed: "From the beginning of creation, 'God made them male and female'" (Mark 10:6). Baker Publishing carries us both as authors. I'd ask them to put our pictures as far apart as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12). Jesse Myers needs to take care of that or I am out at Baker. @ReadBakerBooks You champion a man who told the Texas House "God is non-binary" and used Luke 1 to defend abortion. Luke calls the child in the womb a brephos, a baby (1:41), the same word he uses for Jesus in the manger. The most vulnerable Texan can't vote. You just voted against him. You described "the way of Jesus" without the cross. Paul called that a different gospel and its preacher anathema, set apart for destruction (Galatians 1:8). Jude called such men "waterless clouds" and "fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted" (Jude 12). Repent while the door is open.

Oh well, he should definitely be allowed to stay in the United States illegally because otherwise he might have to go home
Within five days of being deported from the U.S., Moussa Diawara says Ghanaian officials forced him onto a flight to Mali, the very country a U.S. immigration judge ruled he could not be deported to. Diawara says he was homeless and went into hiding. Watch the 60 Minutes report Sunday at 7 p.m. ET/PT on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.

And after this “pastor” voted, he and Talarico had a romantic dinner together to discuss how much God approves of same-sex ‘marriage,’ drag queen story hour for toddlers, and the dozens of gender from which a person can choose.
I am a husband, father, and lifelong Texan. I’ve been a Christian since I was 5 and a pastor since I was 19. And I just proudly voted for James Talarico, Gina Hinojosa, Jon Rosenthal, and Vikki Goodwin. While it’s true that Ken Paxton is as corrupt and morally bankrupt as they come, Greg Abbott has decimated our public schools, Dan Patrick is bought and paid for by right-wing billionaires, and Bo French wears his racism on his sleeve, I didn’t just vote AGAINST candidates I know will do a bad job. I had the privilege of voting FOR candidates who will do a great job! I originally connected with Jimmy Talarico many years ago (long before he got famous) and we became friends shortly after. He’s the exact same guy in private as he is in public—kindhearted, whip smart, hardworking, and very serious about following Jesus’ call to care for all people, especially the most vulnerable. That’s who he’s been in ministry, in the Texas Legislature, and I have no doubt that’s who he’ll be as a United States Senator too. I’ve also gotten to speak with Gina Hinojosa, Jon Rosenthal, and Vikki Goodwin this year. I believe they will fight for two things that are very important to my family and so many people in our church community: 1. An economy where every Texan can afford to have their basic needs met. 2. Fully funded public schools where all children can thrive. I’m not telling you who to vote for; I’m just telling you who I chose to vote for and why. We are in a critical moment in both the United States and Texas, so I hope you vote. And if you are a follower of Jesus, I hope you see your vote as a way to prioritize the way of Jesus—sacrificial love of neighbor and justice for those who have been marginalized.
