The left has lost their minds when they think the government shouldn’t try to differentiate between legal and illegal residents of its land.

The crazy part is destroying the census, but Trump fans will say people are really against it because they like illegals.

"Support our bad solution or you support the problem."

Yes this entire issue” is about liberals trying to protect illegals. Otherwise just answer the questions.

Yeah, because illegals don't use utilities, take transit, use the streets, nor consume food, and therefore there is no reason to know how many of them there are when doing city planning.

They SHOULDNT be using these services as they SHOULDNT be there. How is this so hard to understand?

-5 ( +0 / -5 )

The city they are supposed to legally be living in has done city planning for those people.

It’s not. It’s just you missing the point entirely. The fact is that whether or not the should be there, they are there and they are using the services. How is this so hard to understand?

The city they are supposed to legally be living in has done city planning for those people.

And how are they supposed to know what to plan for if they don’t know how many of them are there? Do you really not see the logical fallacy in your comment?

Do you “plan” for people to permanently live in your house?? Did you buy a 4LDK instead of 2LDK just in case someone just walks in and starts living in your place?

Did you set up 2 extra beds and make 2 more house keys and buy extra dinnerware sets for people you don’t know who just show up to live with you and don’t intend to leave?

Or do you more likely only resource plan for people who supposed to be living in your home?

No logical fallacy. Mexico knows these people exist and they plan for them. Mexico is relieved of their social burden when these people sneak across the US border.

The USA doesn’t know they exist in the USA because they shouldnt. Thus the “illegal” part of illegal alien.

I would if I had millions of people living in my home, due to the fact that it would be impossible to suddenly kick out these millions of people, and therefore anyone with an ounce of intelligence and responsibility would work with what you have, and make plans for what you want. You seem to be having troubles separating what you want with what you have.

You say 'no logical fallacy', then go on to talk about something entirely irrelevant to it that shows you really are clueless to the logical fallacy.

You say 'don't count the numbers of illegals', then go on to talk about how cities should do planning based on the number of illegals - which you won't let be counted.

Logical fallacy mate. Not even a difficult one to see.

"People do not need to worry that their privacy will be abused by the census," he said.

Believe your government. They'd never lie to you. Ever.

So you wouldn’t just tell the people living in your house who you don’t know and who not supposed to be living in your house to just leave?

you obviously can’t comprehend so one more time. LA should not be doing city planning counting any illegals at all. I didn’t say they should be, that’s you saying that.

Those illegals belong to Mexico City for example, who should be counting them not LA. Because if the actually are living in LA they are illegally there and need to go “home”

So you wouldn’t just tell the people living in your house who you don’t know and who not supposed to be living in your house to just leave?

If it were that easy, why are there even any illegals in the country in the first place?

You make it sound like someone just has to say 'um, can you all go back home', and the problem will be solved.

you obviously can’t comprehend so one more time. LA should not be doing city planning counting any illegals at all. I didn’t say they should be, that’s you saying that.

You obviously can't comprehend, so one more time. The illegals are there, whether they should be are not, and as such making city plans based only on the number of legals is going to end up in a system that is overburdened and inefficient as it has to service more people than it is intended to, simply because some people think that it's more important to push ideology than to deal with reality.
