Do you mean immigrant as in in the US illegally or just someone who immigrated? Because I am fairly certain current visas and green cards are still valid. But hey, I wouldn't put anything past the state. I guess it's sort of a question with what kind of state power you are more comfortable with:
Forced association- massive illegal immigration
Or
Forced Disassociation- massive illegal immigrant deportation

"Do you mean immigrant as in in the US illegally or just someone who immigrated?" We're going around in circles here. The context is specifically Abrego Garcia who is here *legally*, according to the Trump administration in legal filings.
"Forced association- massive illegal immigration" --- Nothing about this is "forced association." Private property allows one to exclude whomever one wants from property. Public property is another issue, and while there can be a "tragedy of the commons" effect I think the problem with home-grown homelessness and mental health issues is far greater than anything created by illegal immigration.
"Forced Disassociation" -- Yes, this one is the problem. If I choose to employ or associate with someone who happens to be on the other side of an arbitrary line, and some Band of Thugs kidnaps that person, then the Thugs are the aggressors and in the wrong.
Lol, the comment about majority precludes mention about the exception case you cited. So, yeah, I get that that 1 guy is an exception.
Secondly, it is absolutely forced association strictly BECAUSE of the forced sharing of public property. That's kinda my whole point. I don't believe in public property but because it is forced upon me I have to care about my associations due to it.
It's easy to see the forced disassociation but not the forced association to you? Read my bio, I am an anarchist not some statist but I can also recognize inconsistencies in morals.
OK sure, but the problem is more the existence of public property producing the "tragedy of the commons" issue.... Everyone's experience with this is different, but from my point of view living in a major US urban area, the problems of homelessness are much more pronounced than that of immigration....
And I think there is data to bear out the conclusion that homeless people are far greater consumers of public services and "disrupters" of public life (in whatever context you're referring to be "forced association") than immigrants.
