“Could someone clarify why an administration can release unvetted undocumented immigrants into our communities without judicial oversight, yet deporting them requires a judge’s approval? The inconsistency there feels utterly ridiculous.”
Judicial review is more appropriate for those who have had visas or green cards or whose visas or green cards are expired or under review. It’s harder to see how others who have come in uninvited and have not been here that long would require judicial review. The immigration problem is so massive now that timely judicial review would be impossible anyway. However it is problematic to say all illegals are equal. If we have allowed them to stay for decades it’s harder to justify sweeping them up and deporting without judicial review. Gangs are criminal actors and that’s a different matter, in my opinion. Judgment is needed.
“Joe Biden sanctioned an invasion of the United States. We have approximately 20 million illegal aliens in this country. Their victims are measured in longer wait times for hospitals, overwhelmed schools, and murder victims the media largely ignored.
The media has deteremined the real victims are the gang members we’re trying to get out of the country.”
Our governor’s daughter has proclaimed she will not attend graduate school, because she does not want to give money to schools who won’t support the ‘protesters.’ She didn’t speak up about the Jewish students who were harassed or stopped from doing what they needed to do on campus. I believe this excuse as similar to those who refuse to have children because the world is in such bad shape etc. It is always better to have some lofty reason than just plain laziness or our own comfort. No one needs to go onto graduate school, of course.
In the meantime, her father is trying to get a budget which cuts off all extra funding to private schools for special needs children and similar items. Yet, he claims Trump is trying to take away SS and Medicaid. Yes, we do seem to live in Wonderland.
The decision for deportation of an illegal becomes a matter of judgement when you consider possible mitigating circumstances. That might include things like length of time here, when brought, any criminal record or criminal activity, visa or green card status, family ties, productive member of community, terrorist ties or support, etc. Some of these cases require judgement and some are more clear cut.
We often show mercy to people who break the law when there are mitigating circumstances. The J6 pardons (which I supported for the most part) would be one such example.
This is a good show of support for the President’s use of the Alien Enemies Act. And I do support his use of the Act for known gang members, people with a criminal record, and terrorist and their supporters.
I’d say that a person who is here as a refugee (even if they came illegally, if they were fleeing for their lives we should have sympathy and not treat them as criminals, in much the same way we might show compassion to the person who flees naked from a house fire even if technically that person is disobeying decency laws); a person who has established himself as a productive member of society; and a person who was brought here as a young child, has never known any other country, and has become a productive member of society should all be treated differently than murderous gang members.
There is a time that harsh punishment is appropriate. But even illegal aliens are people made in the image of God, and should be treated with justice. (Justice may require punishment. But throwing someone who was brought here at age five and is now fifty and a productive member of society back to a country where he knows no one and maybe doesn’t even speak the language isn’t “justice.”)
The laws of our country are important, but we can’t ever afford to be Americans first and Christians second. How we treat strangers is part of what God uses to judge us.

Dems break and broke the law by allowing them in. Rs need to sweep out all they can. We either support the country’s immigration laws, or we dont.

Illegal aliens caught on camera admitting they’re registered to vote and casting ballots for Kamala.
Meanwhile, we find out Katie Hobbs inserted over 10,000 illegal aliens using the same Social Security number—who had already voted in 2020!
And yet, Democrats are all over TV claiming Elon Musk is the one lying.”

As the graph shows, Graham and Lankford were lying. All it took was the will to close the border and deport criminal illegal entrants.
