[01:02] MinceR the EU could ship its own stuff [01:02] IsambardPrince In many cases, they don't make the kind of stuff we can supply, or at least they can't make it as quickly.

[08:27] IsambardPrince So people said "TPS means they were legal immigrants". [08:27] IsambardPrince TPS is a non-immigrant status. [08:27] IsambardPrince It ends when the government says it does. [08:28] IsambardPrince If you stay, you become an illegal immigrant. [08:28] IsambardPrince You don't have to like how the government is doing all of this but the point is, it has to get done somehow. Do they need to make a spectacle of it? No. [08:29] IsambardPrince Do they need to specifically target people who are a non-threat over people who have criminal records? No. [08:29] IsambardPrince ICE under Obama was deporting 34,000 people a month sometimes while targeting criminals. They were doing overstays and illegal entries, but they prioritized criminals, and they never had to activate the military. [08:30] IsambardPrince They've arrested like 3,000 illegal immigrants in LA since this whole thing started several weeks ago. [08:30] IsambardPrince At this rate they'll get them all in 28 years. [08:33] IsambardPrince I'm obviously not against immigration. I'm against people being here who break laws, including immigration laws. [08:33] IsambardPrince There's a legal process to get in and we can't sustain having the entire population of these countries emptying out into ours just because theirs was ruined.
