Protecting Trump’s enemies from prosecution just reinforces the idea of politics as retribution. Instead, Democrats should be defending his most vulnerable targets.

Agreed, it won’t stop the radical right GQPers from doing their evils. Plus it will alienate more people on the immigration issue - what the USA needs is real solutions and people would see this for what it would be, political gamesmanship.
What evils? There are no evils. Republicans simply do not support ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION… jesus, this is becoming worse than r/politics that swings so hard left, it’s nuts…
Last time Trump separated families, do you think this time they’ll play nice? But sure, keep you head in the sand.
And Obama, Clinton, Biden… didn’t do anything right? I mean, their hands are clean right? It’s ONLY Trump that’s trying to fix out immigration system? You don’t get to choose who’s had moral high ground with this issue. All Presidents have had to deal with it differently, some are just better at hiding their tactics.
Did I mention any of them
Immigration was the 2nd most important issue to voters, after direct economic issues (e.g., how well they felt they were doing economically). Without seeing what mass deportations will actually do to the economy and country as a whole, the majority of people that voted this year are in favor of the shit the GOP has promised to do.
There isn’t one, not really. Certainly nothing that can be done in a mere four years, and probably not in sixteen. The countries that people are coming from are largely desperately poor, and struggling with gang violence. The way to ‘solve’ the immigration issue is to correct the problems in their own countries so that they don’t feel like making the journey to the US is a necessary for their survival. We can have some degree of effect on the gang violence by cutting the demand for the drugs in the US that fuel the gang violence in central and south American countries. But we can’t do much of anything directly. We can dump money into the issue, but then you have the problem of people in the US screaming about how we should be helping people in the US before doing any kind of foreign aid (spoiler: we wouldn’t be helping people in the US anyways).
