    Because how else can you determine someone is here illegally without them outright telling you they are? People are going to simply call in "tips" with every latino with an accent they see. Crime hotlines on the other hand... hey I just saw this guy rob a store and get in a car and drive away... here's the license plate.

    Crime hotlines work, because you can report someone you see committing a crime. In the case of illegals, the act displaying their crime, is indistinguishable to eye sight from those who are here legally. Without looking at their papers, no mater the power you think you have in your ocular pat down, it's completely and utterly ineffective. It's Ronald McDonald logic:

    So it must be racist because Trump shouted it out. So it all comes down to Opinion based on Stupidity.

    I love how you keep ignoring my hammer posts because they prove you wrong.

    And he didn't "shout out" anything. Trump said point blank he was going to do this and why.

    I don't really care about that. I'm a fan of Jerky Boys, so that shit is right down my alley of humor. My problem is that while we are cutting taxes on the people scaring us, their "tools"/"hammers" to scare us, are costing us money. We are already giving them a 20% pay cut, paying to keep people scared so they can maintain power, is going a bit too far. They can afford it without us...

    Edit: Feel free to check this thread, where at least one person, thinks the Gatysberg address was going too far in giving Americans power... because government of the people, for the people, by the people... means limitless power to take your kidney. If that's not fear working, I don't know what is.

It elevates the crime to something greater than it actually is.

    If the existing hammer isn't doing the job correctly, fix the hammer.
    See, you need to complicate the analogy to fit your narrative; and then in the end fucking prove your argument wrong at the very end. I agree completely. I don't see any point in this hotline as long as the Crime Hotlines can be used as an effective tool to report illegal immigrants.

    But just to argue your points. At no point is the hotline specific for ratting out your mexican neighbors. For example, using it at work when you see someone getting paid under the table seems like a perfectly sane way to point out an illegal Immigrant.

    See, now you're making the right arguments for why this Hotline is useless trash.

    Why would we need crime tip hotlines if you can just call police. Why have suicide hotlines if you can call the hospital. The hotline puts you in direct touch with someone who will take care of the specific problem you are calling for.

    I don't even see how the tool is good in theory.

    If you're a victim of a crime you need police, and unless it is the police doing the crime it doesn't matter who is committing said crime. What is calling a federal hotline because the person who committed it was a certain color going to change?

    Yes, I know how to appeal to your vernacular. You should be asking why you were disagreeing with the premise, before I appealed to your language. I hope you realize what was the division factor, in a disagreement that is actually agreement. Think about that next time you hear #MAGA...

    Well I don't understand either, Criminal Hotlines exist to target specific crimes instead of just dialing 911. Usually non-immediate crimes.

    You seem to confuse me for a devout Trump Supporter; I value him as the tool as which he has already filled his use. He was a political powder bomb that destroyed the narrative that the Globalists have been pushing. If he's successful, right on, If he fails, doesn't matter, he has shown the world that the "White Working man" is still a political force to the reckoned with and cannot be ignored.

    Oh, you repeated your wrongful assertion?? That changes everything!... Repeating what you're saying without recognizing the flaw in your thought process isn't a viable counterargument.

    You're not qualified because you think the existence of this program is somehow "equal" because "anyone" can be reported. If you wish to make a worthwhile counterargument you should probably can the statements that highlight your ignorance of the downfalls of this program, which, at this point, can only be willful on your part.

    So tell me why he's wrong just because Racists MAY use it? You know Phoning a Hotline is not the writ that signs over the expulsion of those in question right?

    There's no value in it. At all. it provides a false sense of accomplishment and security for people such as yourself who aren't really as interested in the law as you pretend to be.

    Because calling the cops on your illegal neighbors who robbed you wont get them deported in sanctuary cities. You could make the argument that a legal person wouldnt get deported if you called the cops on him if he robbed you and you would be correct.

    The flaw is thinking that people will just report every brown person with an accent. News flash, there are pockets of non brown illegals in the north east who would get reported more then "brown" people.

    Neighbors in the inner city talk and find out more info about the who lives in their neighborhood then you think. They know which houses are the crack houses, which corners are the gang corners. Which families are new and which familes left. They do talk to each other, especially kids. Hell, even if you were a school admin and a new student enrolled you would know. Hospital workers..etc..it isnt that difficuilt to find out if you need to converse with them in an official capacity.
