They had to know they would be denied asylum in all probability and so they did not bother to show. Who wants individuals in this country who disregard laws from the moment they enter the country.
He literally bothered to show, was arrested on the spot, and was sent to a foreign prison camp. Remember, he's one of those immigrants who followed the rules...you know, the ones you were pretending to care about. You don't have anything to say?
Do you have anything to say about hundreds of thousands of children being sexually trafficked through our border?
Apparently I'm the only one who does.
If you actually care about punishing the wrongdoers and protecting the vulnerable, due process is the key. It's how you sort the guilty from the innocent.
Trump issues quotas and holds no one accountable for mistakes and abuses. That only encourages ICE to round up easy targets, people living with nothing to hide, not the real criminals. All while he seizes unprecedented "wartime" powers that would make you piss your pants if a Democrat did it.
It's all about emotion. Nothing else. Trump pushes your button, and you melt just like every quivering statist.
You obviously don't care or you'd support zero tolerance for coming into our border illegally.
All of them are criminals as defined by our own laws. They trespassed which is a crime. It doesn't matter for what reason, they are criminals because they illegally came into our country. If you disagree, then you disagree with the law.
Anyone who ever exceeded the speed limit broke the law. Trump is breaking the law every time he denies someone due process.
By your reasoning practically everyone in the country is a sex trafficker.
You said Trump wasn't going after real criminals and I simply stated that all of them are real criminals.
It's impossible to sort through every illegal immigration case and these judges will do everything they can to keep them here, even criminals. You support that and you're not offering up any proposals or solutions, only opposition to those that are ready to end illegal immigration.
You're really not aware of the grift behind illegal immigration through our own government, nor the catastrophic effects it's produced. It's very much the case that if we don't get a handle on it, it will wreak havoc to the point of no recovery.
He's not going after the monsters and the worst of the worst, like he claims. He's going after the numbers.
Good judges care about the law first and foremost. I posted a thread about two venerable conservative judges who are concerned about Trump's lawlessness on this issue. Zero response. The fact that some Democrats may want more immigrants for political reasons, and some Republicans may fear that, doesn't mean all of these judges are politicized. The record is showing the opposite. Trump is overreaching, and he's getting pushback from judges across the political spectrum.
I'm aware of allegations of grift, including some involving my own church. It can and should be dealt with in a way that doesn't undermine our constitutional rights. The alternative is what would truly be catastrophic.
The nature of illegal immigration presents a significant challenge when it comes to ensuring national security and public safety. When individuals cross the border without documentation or inspection, we are immediately placed at a disadvantage. Unlike legal immigrants, who go through background checks, interviews, and screenings, illegals arrive with no verifiable information attached to their identity. We don't know their real names, ages, or countries of origin with certainty, let alone their criminal backgrounds.
This lack of data becomes even more problematic given that the US doesn't have access to the criminal databases of many foreign governments, especially in nations with limited law enforcement infrastructure or poor diplomatic cooperation, aka all of Mexico and SA. So even if an individual has committed serious crimes abroad, like assault, drug trafficking, or even murder…those offenses will not appear in any U.S. system unless that country shares it, which is rare. Someone could cross the border undetected and begin a life in the U.S. with a completely clean slate in the eyes of American authorities.
The reason the cartel exists and operates on a massive scale is because of their illegal and easy access to the US. Without that, they would collapse. Really think about that.
Compounding this issue is the fact that a large proportion of crime in the US remains unsolved. According to FBI data, clearance rates for violent crimes like rape and robbery are often under 50%, and for property crimes, they're even lower. This means that if an illegal commits a crime but evades identification, there's a high chance they'll never be caught. And even if they are suspected, without prior records like fingerprints or a background, the trail can go cold quickly.
Illegal immigration by its very nature creates blind spots for law enforcement and weakens our ability to protect communities. The inability to verify someone's identity, criminal past, or intent makes it impossible to fully assess the risks they may pose, and that's not a safe foundation for the American public.
You want to provide them with a process and the process is incompetent at best. It yields no real results. Propose me a real solution: how do we get a handle on this and how do we deport tens of thousands of violent criminals, cartel members and evildoers? How do you go after the really bad guys if you're missing background info and you really have no idea who they are?
