Are we losing the balance of power in America?

Are we in the last days of self rule? Has the 3 separate but equal branches of government been discarded? Immigrants, both legal and illegal come here and suddenly use our laws and constitution against us and a judge rules in their favor. A serious question, has the US government become a dictatorship? No, it isn’t Trump the dictator, the judiciary has usurped powers not granted to them. Congress sits on its hands and so shirks its duties that a single judge decides. Who granted the judiciary that power, it certainly isn’t in our constitution, is it? I thought the second election of Trump would end the discrimination by the democrats, instead it seems to have gotten worse. Much worse!
A state governor and city mayors defy the federal government’s given powers and nothing happens. Anarchy reigns with what appears no way of impeding. Insurrection is rampant and there seems no control is granted. “a toothless tiger” this isn’t a joke folks, this is a rebellion pure and simple. How do we clean out the rats nest called the media, How do we reverse the tide of those that destroy freedom every day, and in every way? It appears both the FBI and the Department of Justice are dragging their feet, watching this nation sinking into a morass of turbulence unthinkable a few short decades ago.
Then we have a band of immigrants, from a African nation so backward it can’t do anything but be pirates come here, setup a sophisticated theft ring that steals billions without anyone raising the alarmist it then has the audacity to claim racism and that results in no headlines, except from a single non-professional reporter. Are we so inundated with the brainwashed it’s impossible to rectify the chaos created? Diversions are an everyday happening, those opposite this chaos creating band of insurrection yet our media fails us once again. Is the answer capitulation? A surrender where we accept a one party rule such as California or Minnesota? The slow creep of communism is forcing us to stay stoic? is this nation heading for the ash heap of history, has our education system so warped the minds of the masses that surrender its the only answer? If we do nothing that will be! The real villain the media, it supplies garbage not reality. Are we on the verge of a civil war, judging from Minneapolis, perhaps

An asylum seeker is by legal definition never illegal, irrespective of the means by which they entered a country. If the Executive disagrees with this, they must go through the hard graft of unravelling 70 years of international law. They cannot simply make up law on the hoof. It is the job of the Judiciary to uphold the rule of law and resist Executive over-reach.

@SunshineGirl That's exactly how the asylum system gets weaponized against us.

Bad actors KNOW this to be true, and use it to get into our country on false pretenses.

We generously offered an asylum program to help people escape from oppressive regimes, not so they can come here, squat in our country, use our resources, then never pay it back.

Those people ruined it. Not the system itself.

Additionally, The Executive branch has the responsibility to protect and maintain our borders. Not the judiciary. The judiciary has authority over asylum claims but they don't determine border policy.

You should take some time to thank me as I continually have to educate you on US laws and customs.

You'd think at some point you might be embarrassed to be called out so often, but apparently not.

SunshineGirl · 36-40, F

@SumKindaMunster Erm, anyone who is a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention is legally bound to accept asylum seekers. It is enshrined in your own domestic laws, it is not an act of "generosity".

It is also international law to provide aid to stricken mariners (as opposed to torpedoeing them a second time).

SumKindaMunster · 56-60, M

@SunshineGirl Ugh. I'm not arguing the legality of the asylum program dimwit. I'm explaining to you why it's no longer to our benefit and should be ended.

Are you "neurodivergent", to use the current terminology?

You seem very focused on details that are irrelevant. Is this just to demonstrate to me that you have some knowledge? I'm not arguing that, rather I am calling out your ignorance on American laws and customs, not international law or what the UN dictates.

SunshineGirl · 36-40, F

@SumKindaMunster If you disagree with a law you repeal it or work to reform it. You do not unilaterally ignore or break it. If you do . . you are a criminal 🤷‍♀ These international laws are not optional, they are part of your own statutes.

SumKindaMunster · 56-60, M

@SunshineGirl Sure. So instead of crossing the street in a hurry, you wait at the light until it allows you to cross, is that right? And then head down to your local barristers office to get the law changed.

While filing your taxes, you don't take any deductions that aren't legal, I am sure.

I'm sure you are careful to not say anything offensive on the internet because that's against the law in the UK, isn't it? 😆

@SunshineGirl demonocrats at work repealing law

SunshineGirl · 36-40, F

@SumKindaMunster Yes, I believe strongly in the rule of law, if that is what you are saying.

I don't take some some deductions that are legal (I refuse on principle to employ an accountant), let alone illegal.

Why would I go to a barrister? Democratically elected politicians make laws. Lawyers interpret (and occasionally corrupt) those same laws.

@SunshineGirl Only if their statements are true. Then it's legal.

SunshineGirl · 36-40, F

@nudistsueaz So until they have been through the full asylum process and been proven otherwise . . they are in the eyes of the law . . legal.

nudistsueaz · 61-69, F

@SunshineGirl No, they are suspect.

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@SunshineGirl immigration proceedings to barring aliens entry are to remove or deport. That is, deport and remove are synonymous in federal immigration law. An alien present inside the United States are not criminal proceedings. As the Supreme Court first outlined in 1893 in Fung you ting versus us a decision in which it rejected habeas corpus petitions filed by Chinese citizens who claimed they were being unlawfully detained by U.S. Marshals, quote, without due process of law, unquote.

The immigration proceeding is in no proper sense a trial and sentence for a crime or offense. It is simply the ascertainment by appropriate and lawful means of the fact, whether the conditions exist upon which Congress has enacted, that an alien of this particular class may remain within the country. The order of deportation is not a punishment for crime. It is but a method of enforcing the return to his own country of an alien who has not complied with the conditions upon the performance of which the government of the nation, acting within its constitutional authority and through the proper departments, has determined that his continuing to reside here shall depend.

@SunshineGirl That's why everyone has to be properly and completed vented.
