>> ..except the law will not be changed until after contempt for it is already fashionable - otherwise no one would want it changed right?. Kinda got the cart before the horse there.

No idea what you're talking about. If you want illegal immigration to be legal, you need to appoint a Congress to make it so. Seems to me that the Democrats controlled Congress for quite a bit of the last 30 years, but failed to legalize the illegal immigration. If Congress is too busy, I suppose POTUS can subvert Congress, writing a deferral memo to be upheld by a politicized DOJ even if contrary to law, though that seems like something a dictator would do.

>>It's the fact that the crime/severity is different that sets them apart though. In other words - they are DIFFERENT crimes. You can't just lump all these into one bowl here.

I'm not the one lumping things into the same bowl, including legal and illegal immigration.

>>And as far as Trump goes - he doesn't like immigrants period - legal or otherwise unless they are white people.. His rhetoric about MS-13 (Mara Salvatrucha) to try to scare Americans into wanting more immigration restrictions not only exaggerates the danger the gang poses here but also demonizes all Latino immigrants,

That's your rhetoric, but it's an outright lie based on last night's SOTU and the video in which he's alleged to call Mexicans rapists. Communities become alienated when these lies are repeated often enough.

>>He pulls the same crap with terrorist too - alienates everyone from the Middle East and of the Muslim religion despite the fact that the real problem here is with domestic terrorism. The dude is a hate mongering racist idiot.

I guess the bubble media forgot to mention that this week the US announced lifting the ban on 11 Muslim-majority nations plus North Korea, because Homeland Security now is satisfied with security measures at their end.

That was after the Supreme Court last month upheld Proclamation 9645 = the so-called travel ban. Because it was legal, Victor. Meaning not racist, since racism is illegal in the USA.

Even if you want to believe it is racist: what sort of idiot racist brings in a ban pending adequate security measures, then cans it after a month because security is now satisfactory?!

What could have taken the same month back in January 2017 with minimal inconvenience to anybody, instead is dragged out by obstructionist behavior and lying rhetoric for a full year of accusations and fear. IMHO those sorts of lies only survive for as long as the truth can be shrouded in vexatious law suits and never-ending investigations.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.

-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
