You are talking about uptick in trust due to administration taking steps against illegal immigrants.

How is anyone supposed trust this administration when they constantly lie and break the laws themselves? How is my comment not relevant?

Not that I agree with illegal immigration, however, I want EVERYONE to respect the laws.

>How is anyone supposed trust this administration when they constantly lie and break the laws themselves?

Try to explain that to anyone racist, ignorant or fearful of immigrants and you going to understand the point of the comment

So, no bad nor immoral tactics? Only bad targets?

> That's really irrelevant to the point being discussed.

The point is following the law. What point do you think it's being discussed?

The point that started my original response. Explaining a new, apparently hypocritical, propensity to trust such government actions. Whether any of us agree with it or not, is irrelevant to the explanation of why it has happened.

> The point that started my original response.

The original response stated the following:

> The new administration has no regards for law. They are breaking multiple laws. This isn't how you get things done.

Your personal perception of hypocrisy is immaterial. OP's point is that this sort of policy is being supported bY rampant abuse and violations of the law and constitution.

If your original argument is how you think something violates the law, how come your high regard for lawlessness disappears as soon as you discuss abusing minorities?

You joined the conversation too late. Go up one parent level and see that the ONLY thing I was talking about, was explaining the apparent hypocrisy the OP had identified. The rest of this thread has been unnecessary and irrelevant objections to that point.
