@Gnomeshatecheese everyone knows who their bad guy is and all nuance is destroyed, or at least irrelevant.

i think the rational argument for keeping criminal illegal immigrants is, they are (sometimes? what percentage?) being blackmailed by organized crime in their home country. taking pawns doesn't win a chess match, and we could instead use resources to magically rehabilitate them (effective strategies yet to be discovered).

but who cares really, like all these Issues its a shitshow that is conveniently too complex to have a sensible opinion.
