The building appears to be among many devastated in Trump’s ‘major combat operations’ as long expected attacks arrive

Iran’s parents had just dropped their children off for class on Saturday morning when they found themselves racing back to school gates, as bombs began to fall across the country in a joint US-Israel attack.

At one elementary school, according to Iran’s state-controlled media, they arrived to find devastation. At least 80 children had been killed in the strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school in Minab, southern Iran, the IRNA news agency reported, with dozens more unaccounted for.

In one video circulating on social media, purportedly showing the immediate aftermath of the strike, smoke rises from the burnt-out walls, and debris lies spread across the road. Hundreds of onlookers gathered at the site, some in obvious distress. Screams can be heard in the background. The report of the bombing, its death toll and the video’s source could not immediately be independently verified by the Guardian. Persian factchecking service Factnameh was able to cross-reference the video with other photographs of the school site, and concluded that the video was authentic. Reuters said it had also verified the footage as being from the school.

    I do not think you should simply pick random people off the street and deport them.

    I think that illegal immigrants should be given a chance to go through the process to become legal, and that process should be cheaper and faster than it is now.

    The people I want deported are those such as drug dealers and terrorists.

    Also, my “wired for crime” comment was not targeted towards immigrants but instead criminals. It was in a thread about police.

    I have said all of this before in a earlier comment:

    The people I’m worried about are criminals who are not caught at the border and that the government doesn’t know about.

    We need to both get rid of them and make the legal routes faster and cheaper to isolate criminals from innocent people.

    Currently illegal immigrants should be given a path to legallity if they are willing to provide the documents and have done nothing wrong in both the UK and their home countries.

    I hope you understand my views now.

      No one is illegal on stolen land. The United States has no actual right to exist, and therefore has no actual right to deport people.

      Drug dealers are supplying a demand created by citizens and governments have no right to tell people what substances they may or may not put in their own bodies. You address harmful drug use by providing people with a life they don’t feel a desperate need to escape from, not by taking anyone’s freedom.

      I understand your views just as I understood them before. I understand that you’re attempting to downplay the murder of children by imperialists and probably have a biased or vested interest in doing so.
