These types of raids are a slippery slope to highway checkpoints, warrantless searches, searching your car or your house for illegal immigrants, demanding paperwork whether you’re a citizen or not, and just overall trampling of everyone’s rights in general. It’s only a matter of time before even the supporters of it see that. As far as I’m concerned, patrol the border and keep people out. Once they are in, they should be committing a crime in order to be detained. Otherwise, none of us have any rights.

If we know where an illegal is, they should be deported. Your argument is a slippery slope fallacy, i dont see how you can claim these actions are a slippery slope to violating the constitution
To clarify, by “once they are in” I don’t mean as soon as they run across the border lol. I just mean once they are in some city somewhere and nobody knows who they are. If the government does know who they are, then okay. But that’s not the same as blanket raiding buildings and just snatching people up.
I just think it’s the same as everything else in politics. If we aren’t ending the foreign wars, ending the drug war, and ending the fed, then what’s going to get fixed? The government is causing problems and then patching them over with bandaids, all the while increasing their control over everything.
