Fair point. In fact, I'll agree that ICE has committed egregious violations already cited and is comprised of alot of unstable and ill-intentioned individuals

However, ICE is the only agency with the authority to perform deportations. States have already demonstrated indifference, ineptitude, and incompetence in enforcing deportation.

Customs and Borders will do little to remove those who enter illegally.

Let alone those who overstay Visas

The majority of people detained are done so without a fair trial and are forcefully detained (which is a situation just waiting to be abused, lol)

You're right. And this is the problem. There's Republicans who care only for deportation, and Democrats who propose removing due process entirely.

We need actual reform to expeditiously allow those seeking to become citizens entry into our nation

Yeah, I agree

Though I think we should go further with Immigration reform

And I think the first thing to do is to Decriminalise All Drugs and Legalise Marijuana

That will absolutely fuck up the Cartels

And Big Pharma

Not all drugs. Some will reap havoc on major cities, like heroin as witnessed by Iran-Contra.

Marijuana - absolutely. It's a boon to state income tax and boosts countless medical benefits

While I'm disappointed by the Republicans inability to positively reform immigration, I can't back any of the Democratic candidates that seek to destroy the entire concept of citizenship.

I didn't say legalise; I said decriminalise, lol. There are some drugs that would reap havoc if legalised (like Fentanyl) which is why decriminalising would just turn it from a Criminal issue to a Health Issue

Fair point.

I could absolutely agree with decriminalizing users. Dealers with x amount of Class I should be criminal offenses.

People are gonna do drugs, regardless, so it's better to mediate the issue by giving them safe monitored areas where they can inject themselves; thus bringing overdoses to near 0 and will absolutely cripple the Cartels who currently profit off of them

Not necessarily - Cartels would still immensely profit from the sale of those drugs.

A "Safe Area" as demonstrated in California absolutely saves lives. However, it encourages use for those already addicted by removing consequence.

Rehabilitation centers with state funding seems like a no-brainer.

That too

The Cartels rn have a Monopoly. Which is why we should Legalise, Tax, and Regulate most Drugs

Decriminalise the rest

Precisely. Biden's position on Marijuana being a gateway drug was a flashback to the Nixon era. No other Democratic candidates have made strong or compelling arguments other than "Medicare-for-All"

Well, only Bernie has been pushing for M4A; but it's actually ridiculously easy to argue for a Single/Multi-Payer System since we have examples of it being a benefit in every other Country (besides the UK tho the NHS used to be the Best Health Care System before Tony Blair and David Cameron raped it to death)

Warren has also picked up that torch, fiercely advocating for M4A. Nationalizing healthcare seems fatally flawed by the current price gouging in the system. That needs to be corrected before such a proposal could even occur.

Besides, it would just be the ACA Pt. 2 - If you don't have a mandatory buy-in, the system can't sustain without govt funding, similar to the current NHS crisis.

I feel like Warren fucked up by having a Public Option be her first priority before M4A.

Cuz ever since she mentioned that, she's been tanking in the polls

And now the Booty Judge (Democrat's Marco Rubio) is rising up for some reason

Sadly, I don't even acknowledge the polls. DNC ultimately selects the primary candidate, not popular vote. They're going to back Biden, and that's going to have consequences.

Really, anyone other than Bernie (and maybe Warren) will lose to Trump

Buttigieg is rising as he's one of the well-spoken candidates not to platform based on sweeping changes that could only be implemented via Executive Order.

At least Buttigieg could debate Trump. Biden's a gaff machine and will fall hard.

The Booty Judge is very establishment. He's really cringey, actually. Like he acts like a politician from the 1990s.

I feel like him debating Trump would be full of platitudes and Clichés; Trump would probably roast the shit out of him

True, but it's better than Biden acting like he's from the 70s. He's the best hope the DNC has at this point - with Bernie and Warren being solid contenders if they abandon major reforms.

Regardless, Buttigieg would only be nominated as primary if impeachment goes to trial, Biden gets called as a witness to testify, and the public backlash marks him as a failed candidate.
