Happy Easter Benjamin Bartee! After witnessing what the previous administration did to American citizens during Covid & the January 6th 'insurrection' there is no doubt in my mind that future administrations could use their creative lawyering skills against anyone who refused to go along with their vision. What seems like a common sense policy could come back & bite us in the behind.

Huge distinction between persecuting fellow citizens who are political and cultural opposition to "persecuting" illegal alien criminals who were deliberately sent into our country by a hostile regime. So I don't see the current application of law as setting much groundwork for what you fear.

There is no need to designate them terrorists when that's not what they are. They are transnational criminals and you can already easily deport those

If it makes them easier to deport, why not? Particularly when they are deliberately released from prisons and sent here, like guerrilla insurgencies. And I guarantee you that the people here that they gang up against, sex traffic, and murder feel terrorized. They are more than just transnational criminals, because they commit violence, not just "crime."

If they're here illegally, they're not citizens and have no citizen rights.

Horrible analogy. You are equating good parents standing up at school boards with illegal alien MS-13 who are killing American Citizens? Pull your head out of your butt.

In the very narrow sense of branding them terrorists when they're not, I am comparing them, yeah. Running a transnational criminal gang is already very illegal and the people who do it are very deportable. The terrorism designation is unnecessary and will be turned on American citizens in due time if it's not checked
