ICE is now camping out in front of courthouses to arrest people before they can enter the courthouse to defend themselves. Do you approve?

They're not arresting them before they go to court they are arresting them after they leave court I have seen the news footage and it is shameful that a New York City controller tried to obstruct Justice he should be thrown in jail as well. If you are not here legally and you have never applied for citizenship you are breaking the law and that is it
No. It's law over reality. Paperwork vs life. There are bound to be extrapolations. We are enabling people who join law enforcement to satisfy a power fantasy.

The common American is not racist but we are very ignorant to this manipulation.

Yes I approve.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@smileylovesgaming Wow. Really? You approve of them setting up traps for people who are trying to show up the court to defend themselves? Really? No due process for the brown people, huh?

I wonder why....

@sunsporter1649 I have stated repeatedly how to separate the law abiding individuals seeking gainful employment from the gang members. It is not my fault your dementia prevents you from remembering.

@CorvusBlackthorne So enlighten us with your brilliance

@sunsporter1649 you know, I saw a headline that said "Only one in ten caught by ICE had a criminal record!"

So for every million people in the country illegally, there are one hundred thousand! criminals? I have a hard time seeing that as "Only"... also, I do feel bad for the other nine hundred thousand men women and children who are just looking for a better life. Nobody did them any favors at all just letting people scamper into the country willy-nilly.

I find it disappointing, but not surprising, how many of the usual suspects do not understand that everyone has a right to due process under US law, even immigrants who are not yet citizens.
CorvusBlackthorne · 100+, M
@sunsporter1649 You have already made it quite clear that you are hateful toward persons of foreign descent. You do not need to keep reiterating it.

It's what's called "collateral damage", sucks but I'd be happy to bring them both coffees and snacks.
Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M
Unless their defense is that they didn't cross the border illegally or didn't overstay, then yes I approve
thepeculiarpanda · 36-40, M

People who don’t approve are probably ok with Guantanamo Bay.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@MrBrownstone I don't see what that has to do with anything. But for the record, I don't approve of either.
CorvusBlackthorne · 100+, M
@LordShadowfire A red herring from @MrBrownstone? Quel choc.

Sounds sneaky, but probably works.

MethDozer · M
@GuidanceCounselor No they don't dummy
GuidanceCounselor · 56-60, M
@MethDozer illegals will get their hearing but they should wait outside the US for it.

YoMomma · 41-45
Defend themselves from what? I suppose you're an anti trump democrat 🙄
MethDozer · M
Absolutely not. It's a blemish on our society
@GuidanceCounselor Time for you to meet
8 U.S. Code § 1158 - Asylum
(a) Authority to apply for asylum
(1) In general

Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alien’s status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 1225(b) of this title.

And, as SCOTUS made 100% clear,
Even one whose presence in this country is unlawful, involuntary, or transitory is entitled to that constitutional protection.
Mathews v. Diaz 1976 (decided unanimously)

Our asylum statutes create a giant loophole for asylum seekers. It's a holdover from the '60s & '70s US immigration law and policy was designed to spit in the eye of Fidel Castro by treating everyone who set foot on Florida as an asylum seeker. This helped earn votes from a swing demographic in a swing state. I agree, we need immigration reform.

And the Senate Bipartisan border bill would have closed that loophole and others. It was the first immigration overhaul since Reagan gave amnesty in 1986.

And of course you know what happened to he Senate Bipartisan border bill. Trump leaned on his flunkies to kill it. Trump wanted a mess on the border to run against. Trump DAMAGED America for campaign purposes. SICK!!

@GuidanceCounselor You should differentiate between trying to enter and having already entered.

Once I'm on american soil, once I get past the border, the Constitution applies... due process applies

Liberals are trying hard to be in news anyhow when News of all the continents is taken over by One Single Man whether it's news of Iran, Russia, Israel, China or France.

Do you approve?

Hell no!
No, it’s fascism, pure and simple.
And only fascists would support it. 🥺
CorvusBlackthorne · 100+, M
@bijouxbroussard I am deeply disappointed at the number of fascists on this website alone.
