[00:00:00]So what do you think should be done about illegal immigrants who were brought in when they were like 6 months old?

[00:00:06]>> So were they born in America or they were brought >> they were born in another country but all they know is like America.

[00:00:11]>> All right. Send them back.

[00:00:12]>> But all of them.

[00:00:13]>> Okay. But like you don't feel like it should be kind of like nuanced where it's like >> no >> we should feel a little such a people these parents >> purposely bring six-month-olds or whatever it is into the country to then have this story of this poor illegal immigrant. or they do it on purpose. You should send them all back. They broke the parents broke the law, committed a felony by coming over and coming here illegally.

[00:00:36]>> But I can see the whole family. But like doesn't that like kind of suck for the the child who had no choice? I mean, you can't really commit a crime when you're 6 months old.

[00:00:44]>> Oh, what? Do you want to separate the family?

[00:00:46]>> Well, it doesn't have to be about separation. Just >> It does because either you send the whole family back or you keep this six-month-old here as an orphan. So, you send them back.

[00:00:55]>> No, I'm saying people who are now grown adults who were brought in when they were 6 months old. like someone who's 24 now and they're struggling to do anything in this country because they were brought when they were 6 months old, but they've assimilated with American culture and followed laws and everything like that. Like, shouldn't there be some sort of exception or system where they can like >> get their citizenship? I mean, I get it.

[00:01:13]Like, they were brought >> You're talking about such an extenduating circumstance in this.

[00:01:17]>> I mean, it's pretty common though. I know a lot of people like that personally who are in that situation.

[00:01:20]>> But if the parents came here illegally and they brought their child here illegally, >> send them all back. I just think that there should be some sort of human empathy when it comes to certain laws and rules. Not everything.

[00:01:30]>> But what is what is more empathetic?

[00:01:31]What is more empathetic? Caring about people who are born in America.

[00:01:35]>> I >> or caring about foreigners.

[00:01:37]>> But I but I don't I don't think um putting some sort of system uh sorry implementing some sort of system for people who were brought here very young would take anything away from people who were born in this country.

[00:01:49]>> Of course it does. But like how >> it does because Americans who were born in America are suffering.

[00:01:54]>> And every time you have someone who cut in line who is not here legally, you are taking resources and things away from these kinds of people. Even if it seems like, oh, I'm just looking at this poor guy and it seems like necessarily true though because that's like saying the more people that live in a in a place, the less fortunate it is for everyone else. Like someone who is brought into this country, who lives in this country contributes as well. So you can contribute and take. It doesn't necessarily mean they're just going to take from the American people. And I get it like a lot of people who are brought illegally.

[00:02:24]>> Of course, there are good people who come here illegally and they do good work in this country. I'm not going to deny you that. If we were to get rid of all the illegals, there would be economic disruption. I'm not. That is just the truth, right? But a people who are born in America, who pay taxes in America, are suffering every day. And the number one thing that we should be doing is stopping the invasion on the southern border of these people coming in and send all the people who are here illegally back to the country that they're from. Because also, not even just that, but the cartel is sending opiates and all these drugs across the border that kills hundreds of thousands pe of people. So, you can have these like stories about like, oh, this six-month-old was brought in all this and of course that sounds very sad and you want to have empathy, but really you can't you got to have a there's a law there's a law and the law is if you cross into this country illegally and you're going to live here, that's a felony and we're going to send you back.

[00:03:11]>> I completely see and respect objective law. I'm saying, do you think that there should maybe be some changes to those laws just so that we make exceptions for people who were brought here against their will when they were young? They I mean, they have no choice. And it does kind of suck. Like, imagine if you weren't born in this country, but you've lived here since you could remember, and then you're sent back to >> El Salvad if my parents if my parents were irresponsible enough to use me as a bargaining chip for coming into this country thinking that's going to help you stay, then I send them back.

[00:03:37]>> Consequence, not the child's consequence.

[00:03:39]>> The child is illegal, too. And it's unfortunate, but you send them all back.

[00:03:41]I mean, it's a they're people, but they didn't. Did you do you really think it should count as them doing a crime? Are you going to prosecute an infant because they >> No, but I don't want to if you're saying we shouldn't separate the family, then don't separate the family. Send them all back.

[00:03:52]>> But again, I'm not talking about kids who are currently 6 months old. I mean, yeah, I get it. If you just got brought into this country, I mean, I don't personally agree with it, but I it makes sense objectively, right? But I'm saying people who were brought here when they were very young and now they're older. I think there should be some sort of system to where they can, you know, like Dhaka, like they can assimilate to the country because it's kind of unfair, especially if they're not committing any crimes. All they know is America. I think as people, not just looking at things objectively, we should be a little more, you know, helping them. I guess like I think it's just a human thing.

[00:04:21]>> I totally understand what you're saying and I I I don't think that you're making unfair points at all with with what you're saying and I think you're coming very honestly. My stance is send them all back. If they're here illegally and Americans are suffering, I care about Americans more than I care about foreigners. And I'm sorry that that's the the case of this person that's, you know, might be kind of a sad story, but we can't make our laws and judgments based off of the sad stories of all these people when Americans have sad stories and Americans are suffering. And that's where I draw the line on
