Terrible post, wow.
1. You know exactly what it means. Your question is disingenuous in the BEST case.
2. How is that your takeaway here? The OP even explains it.
3. Not reading the OP is bannable.
4. Your previous posts provide some pretty disgusting context for this.
The precedent this sets goes FAR beyond that.
Well that black and white attitude will sure help ease minds when deciding to cooperate.

We should make her president.
Illegally is being in another sovereign country without authorized consent or permission. There is a middle ground between the hardcore deport everyone and the open borders imaginary lines crowd you know. Otherwise if lines are imaginary, why do people care about borders and territory at all.
This is pretty shitty though. Women of colour are already afraid of coming forward when it comes to domestic violence because it is very tough for them, and this guarantees very few will come forward again because ICE is getting involved in this. She came forward to be protected from domestic abuse, not to be detained and possibly deported. So much for targeting the really bad criminals first eh?
Its much more than discouraging them from coming forward. Its actually GIVING abusers another tool in their belt to help keep the woman controlled.
Its absolutely disgusting, and any man with any sort of pride or character or sliver of chivalry in them, should be appalled.

Oh, fuck off. Going by your post history I'm sure you just dropped by to seriously ask this question you obviously didn't know the answer to.

This person is to blame for her crimes. It is black and white. If you want to stay, don't commit crimes. Period.
Or the person can go home to their legal country of citizenship...
People always have choice... if you wish to stay here understand that you may not have the opportunity for legal protection because you are here illegally.
Many of these immigrants are leaving their country of citizenship due to violence and war. But "fuck them, got mines" because they weren't lucky enough to be born in a peaceful country, right?
Where does the white part come into play here?

Caused by government instability due to US interventionist policy during the 80s :0)
What if you were brought here with no input at 5 years old and this is the only home you've known?
It disgusts me that that is your takeaway from my post. Sure it gives men of all colors the power to do that, but that doesn't invalidate my statement in any way. What I said is still true.
I'm not just talking about her. I'm talking about staking people out who are at a very low point of their lives outside of protective order courts. They didn't accomplish anything anyway. She has been sent back six times. You don't think she'll be back a seventh time?
Why do I get the sense that you're not going to be here much longer?
No lies detected.

Let's create a shadow society where people are afraid to report crimes for fear of deportation. What could go wrong?
I don't care what disgusts you with your drive to throw race and sex into this story. Yes, you're right about the domestic abuse angle. It's further reaching than that, though. It's also disturbing because it means they're less likely to get help anywhere. Shorted on a job? Can't do anything about it. Robbed and beaten? Nah, keep quiet. There's more to it than the race angle you injected to a story in El Paso of all places.

Calling out something is politically correct is just the politically correct way of admitting you're an utter asshole.

Is there an article or news piece that states her abusers race? I didn't see that in either of the two articles linked here, but I could have missed it.
In the words of Bernie Sanders:
"Just because I have the option to buy a 50 million dollar home does not mean I have the money to buy a 50 million dollar home."
This concept applies to nearly everything in our society. These decisions aren't so simple and binary. Just because this person has the "choice" to stay in the United States doesn't mean it's in their best interest to do so.
Maybe when Trump fucks up the country to the point where we have to seek refuge in another nation people will understand the implications of "Go back to your own country. You have a choice."
Option is not choice referring to bernies quaote but you have an excellent point that I did overly generalize the idea of choice and consequence.
Your last paragraph is funny rhetoric which kind of enforces my point. If the US got to a point in which I choose to move to another country, I would have the choice of doing so legally or illegally. If I choose to do so illegally, I should understand that my choice would have consequences.
Welcome to why liberals lost the election 101.
Not a Trump supporter. Don't attack me fam! DON'T TAZE ME BRO!
Seriously though and on topic. I was waffling but the whole six time criminal thing makes me far less sympathetic, especially when she has been convicted for domestic abuse herself.

I see this statement a fair bit now and it's quite amusing. It implies people were bullied into voting for the right, by people the right claim are special snowflakes and weak. I'm not sure the twist of that has ever been caught by someone actually mentioning it.
Welcome to I guess you didn't read the entire context of the thread. The user was being completely disingenuous based on post history.
Johnathon Pie actually really caught the gist of the entire thing.

Some more info. Woman was trans and her boyfriend tipped off ICE.
Perfect summary of the situation. Thank you.
Yep. They're probably patting themselves on the back for causing this.

This is exactly the point. People will not seek protection or justice if they are afraid that we will be punished for coming forward. This is incredibly chickenshit.
Including traffic tickets? This is just fucked up.
I shouldn't be surprised, but I am. Speeding ticket? GG, goodbye. Jaywalking? Fuck outta here. Sneezed in a white person's direction? You're on the next truck out, boy. Fuck every person that voted for this cretin orange of a man.
