The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

They're protesting in order to make ICE differentiate between those people and the otherwise law-abiding people who do not deserve to be put through the harshest levels of immigration enforcement the way the actual violent criminals do.

It's the same reason why we have protections in criminal law. We don't insist on a trial by jury because we want murderers to go free. We insist on it because we want to make sure that the process is just, and that the people who deserve the harshest sanction of the law are treated differently from the people who do not deserve those harsh sanctions.

Can you really not see that?


Then they should be working to overturn the Sanctuary City laws, which enable all the scenarios that you say liberals are fighting against.

If ICE can go to the jail and pick up someone in the hallway, that's a heck of a lot better than going into neighborhoods.

So why aren't liberals overturning the Sanctuary laws?
