I liked the Harriet Tubman 20 dollar note one.
Significant shifts in the zeitgeist, and I learned something new too. Trump was saying that was just ‘political correctness’ . But read her life story and emm…
If only the courts agreed.
How do you mean?
DACA.
Obama used executive order but apparently courts didn’t think Trump can reverse it with an executive order. Now Biden has started DACA back again.
I’m inclined to agree to DACA if the us got serious about enforcing immigration laws. We cant give incentives to people to keep breaking the law.
Agreed on all points. I’m in favor of the ends of DACA, but the process in which it was created is unconstitutional, IMHO, yet Trump wasn’t allowed to undo by the same means by which it was created.
In what way is it not serious about enforcing immigration laws? The U.S. Border patrol has a 4.07 Billion Dollar operating Budget, consistent across administrations.
A. Who is “We”
B. The incentives for undocumented workers can range from escaping being captured by gang rivals, to fleeing political persecution, to starvation. So the conditions in the U.S. are ALWAYS going to be an incentive to cross the border illegally and break the law. That is not a realistic precondition for eliminating DACA.
It’s not a matter of ‘giving incentives’. Those incentives are already there because of the geopolitical situation, many caused by U.S. destabilization of regimes in Central Am in the first place.

Starvation is an incentive?
Gonna cross the border to get me some of that starvation
So that means that people think starvation is attractive!
Yes, that’s EXACTLY what I meant. 
I don’t think any living thing considers starvation as an incentive
I don’t think any living thing looking at the context of my post, the data involved, and the edit in the subsequent post for clarification would interpret what I said that way.
Do you think the U.S. is ‘serious’ about immigration enforcement? It appears that way to me based upon the amount of resources dedicated to our border control.
But you said that starvation was an incentive. Do you know what the word ‘incentive’ means ?
Did you miss the edit in the next post? What a juvenile line of argument you’re making. See below, and please debate in good faith or step off.
Ok well in that case how about your other incentives
Being captured by gang rivals
That is such an incentive!
There is an incentive for breaking the law - by the employers. If we were to get serious about reducing illegal immigration, we’d be going after the employers that hire them with impunity. Raids that scatter hundreds at a plant but don’t have any meaningful repercussions for the employer are immigration charades (that costs more than dealing with the employers).
Threats to one’s life and physical safety and facing extortion from gangs are an incentive to flee one’s situation, are they not?
Sorry for joking about your use of the word incentive. I think I misread your meaning too. I thought you were anti immigrant.
Because you can’t “stop” climate change.
I wish Taiwan had America’s immigration policy. I could have come here on a tourist visa and lived and worked illegally for years and then one day just be given citizenship. Instead I had to put in a lot of time and effort just to end up with permanent residency.
