    Wanting to deport someone for the color of their skin is fundamentally racist, because immigration, broadly, is a victimless crime.

    What is “illegal” is not necessarily always immoral, and with the evidence we have available to us surrounding the effects of immigration, they create more jobs, spend more in the economy, produce more tax revenue, do less crime, and take less benefits.

    Deporting “illegals” harms the economy, breaks apart communities, and punishes people for a victimless crime, all because some people are afraid that their neighbor might have a little more pigment in their skin, or use different words sometimes.
