Let's say I'm a Democrat running for mayor of NYC. One of my biggest concerns as a democratic mayor are those immigrants being in my city illegally, whether homeless or not homeless. Regardless of why illegal immigrants are in my city, they are illegally in my city. That's like buying groceries without paying. And as a democratic mayor, I'm ordering the NYPD, the New York State Police (NYSP), and ICE, to eject from NYC every illegal immigrant that is in my city illegally and have them deported from my country on the double. As long as they are illegal immigrants and as long as I'm the mayor, they're situation will never matter to me. They're country has to take care of their issues. My focus is NYC, and no place else. All this money going to illegal immigrants can be used to do lots of extremely important things, like lowering taxes, lowering rents, lowing college tuition, lowering gas prices, and more. But now, people want to document illegal immigrants and let them live here and let homeless people live in the streets, which is what the current democratic mayor stands for. If I became mayor, even if I'm Democrat, by law, those illegal immigrants are getting deported (I mean they getting chucked the hell out NYC) without remorse. I'm sorry but the law doesn't give a damn about how either of us feel. I'm required as a democratic mayor to protect NYC. This is if I become a democratic. And NO, rape is NOT an excuse for coming to the United States illegally (especially on a handmade raft). What are your thoughts?
That sort of shitty logic is why you'll never be mayor of your own home, let alone of your street or city.
Also, as mayor, it is not your job or prerogative to deal with migrants. Its the job of immigration and central government.
To be fair, immigrants who can handmake a raft and still make it to the USA are people your employer should hiring instead of deadbeat bigots like you.

Probably the first thing is to get rid of all the liberal DAs and start enforcing the laws. Once they see that if you stay in New York you will be deported they will all flock to Chicago and DC.

Then you're not going to win the Democratic nomination. Look, I understand where you're coming from, but rooting illegal immigrants out is going to require a small fortune- and it's not a one-time expense, either. Cracking down on business owners hiring them is going to mean ever-more restrictions on LEGITIMATE job-seekers, too- that's pretty much the entire voting base.
Realistically, you're going to have to have SOME kind of amnesty for those who're already here illegally, even if it's just letting them take the citizenship test.
So, what is your question? You can certianly campaign on that and if it gets sufficient support in the primary then you should do it if elected. You'll certianly find the problem isn't nearly as bad as you promised it was, and it solves nothing you promised it would solve, but if you win by campaigning on that promise then you should do it, if for no other reason than to give your supporters the opportunity to learn that they were dumb for believing you.
Let’s say we ban anon a-holes from asking stupid questions.
