This woman didn't commit any crimes that would make her at all a danger to the community

That's not the law. She came here illegally and is subject to removal for that reason.

You're arguing for amnesty without actually stating so. If that's what you want, then you need to change the law.

No one's implementing a "Cloward-Piven" strategy.

I'd argue that the previous admin very much did - let in a veritable flood of people that we couldn't possibly deal with. An exasperated public would eventually demand that CONGRESS MUST ACT and pass some kind of legislation favorable to the pro-amnesty democrats.

Trump's election changed all that. For one, the appetite for mass amnesty has never been there in the voting public. For two, all it took was the willpower to enforce existing laws to see border crossings drop by over 95%. In 4 weeks. That's remarkable. We also have a President willing to touch the Third Rail of the Immigration Debate in that he's willing to make the hard choices: it's a shame that the food truck owner in SE Washington is likely to be deported. It's a shame the young mother is.

But they made a choice and they broke the law.
If you want the law changed, then you have to propose new legislation.
