It's about rounding up and putting in concentration camps undocumented people who MIGHT have committed a crime. There are already laws for people who commit crimes and there are already processes for undocumented people who committed crimes.

And FFS the dems ARE enforcing the border. I invite you to not buy into the RW bullshit framing of the "issue."
