The president used the term to describe Jose Antonio Ibarra, a Venezuelan who crossed the border into the U.S. and has been charged with the murder of Laken Riley.

    Oh lordy.

    So the dehumanizing term should be used because it’s not the reason people are dehumanizing the people.

    Are you can fan of racial slurs by chance? Because “it’s just an accurate word for black people” is something racists say about certain words as well.

    What does litter have to do with jay walking.

    What does leaving the country have to do with jay walking?…

    I’m simply using your own flawed logic. And you’re proving my point.

    How exactly is rectifying the law broken a harsher punishment? How would it make any sense to just charge them a fine and let them be on their way? That’s like saying you should just fine someone littering and then ignore the fact that they are continuing to actively litter.

      So the dehumanizing term

      It’s not a dehumanizing term. That’s ridiculous.

      What does leaving the country have to do with jay walking?…

      Nothing. Is your brain mushy?

        Weird, because this was you up the chain a little:

        Has anybody ever been removed from a country when they’ve been caught jay walking?

        So which is it?

        It’s not a dehumanizing term. That’s ridiculous.

        The majority of the country disagrees.

          So which is it?

          It’s the same consistent thing: Jaywalking is not punished as severely as illegal immigration, because it’s not on the same “level”.

          The majority of the country disagrees.

          Which country, because definitely not the USA.
