@emiliya I agree. So when are you leaving?

@HootyTheNightOwl I said no need for any further discussion with you. And I will ensure there is no more right now.

@KateATX So....you are not a fan of the rule of law, due process, and the Constitution.

Got it.

@JSul3 very much a fan of it. They are getting what they deserve. You support the lawlessness Biden, Harris and Myorkas allowed at the border.

@JSul3 doesn't matter if they don't have to obey the laws and neither do any of us and it should be a felony they should not be entitled to any benefits until they have been adjudicated to be here legally. It's all there is to it

@sunsporter1649 exactly let them do their waiting. In their home country and then once they get approved they can come here

@emiliya
Assuming that’s true, wouldn’t that nullify the so-called "rule of law" in the U.S. ?

Which is my point—either we’re a country of laws or we’re not.
By deciding some laws are "nonsense" and don’t have to be observed, the MAGAs are no different than people coming here "illegally". Incidentally, the focus on our southern border, while Europeans are simply choosing to overstay their work visas, is yet another issue.

So to answer your original question, no you don’t have to "pretend to be Mexican". If you get a regular visa and ignore its end date, as a white immigrant you should be just fine. 🤨

@bijouxbroussard I am a Jew from southern Russia who has a Hebrew surname. SOI or DOI are acronyms of what it would translate to in English. Do not assume what I look like.

“Assuming that’s true, wouldn’t that nullify the so-called "rule of law" in the U.S. ?”

It seems you need to familiarize yourself with the laws of your country.

@emiliya One thing I do know about my country, is that Jewish people, especially Ashkenazi, Sephardic or Mizrahi are classified as Caucasian (that’s "white") here. I’m not saying there isn’t antisemitism, but unless they’re Beta Israel, they’re considered white. It is what it is.

And the closest we came to having an actual felon in the White House was Nixon, who had the grace to resign when it looked like he might face charges.

Then he was pardoned by his successor, etc. I remember when it was news. So this business with Trump is new territory. And because I live here, I can tell you for certain, Trump is receiving treatment that other presidents in his place would not have.

@WestonTexan like not being a bleeding heart liberal so you are thrown in jail without proper representation and basic civil rights?

@iamthe99 they are perfectly fine if they are here legally

@smileylovesgaming So why do you approve of ICE arresting people entering the courthouse?

@smileylovesgaming I guess you haven't heard. Everybody is entitled to due process, even if you THINK they are breaking the law. It's called innocent until proven guilty. If you don't believe in that, you can get the hell out of America.

@sunsporter1649 See... funny how that works.

@Kwek00 And of course you left-wing nut-job marxists properly vetted and vaxxed all those 25,000,000 folks before dumping them all over the country following 8 U.S. Code Chapter 12 - IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY to the letter, right?

@sunsporter1649 Never again will I cast my pearls before swine.

@sunsporter1649 The rights of Americans are also protected by the law. Here we go again... it says "equal protection under the law". But equality just ain't in your dictionairy, because you are white supremacist. There is always a ranking the moment someone isn't white enough.

@Kwek00

@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.

@sunsporter1649

@AbbeyRhode but i must show a valid ID to enter a federal building

@MarineBob Exactly! Honest citizens have to jump through hoops for everything, while invading criminals have everything handed to them. Thank God for a President who is putting a stop to that! :)

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout ikr

@emiliya Do you have access to Google ?

@bijouxbroussard Yes. What is their relationship?

@emiliya Hard to say. Sometimes they’re friends, sometimes not. But Trump clearly admires him.

@MarineBob Have you ever watched a cop show on TV?? Remember the part where they say
Those are due process rights. And everyone within our borders gets the same due process rights. Need to see what SCOTUS has ruled??

Mathews v. Diaz 1976 including citations of prior rulings.

Even one whose presence in this country is unlawful, involuntary, or transitory is entitled to that constitutional protection.

Thank you, SCOTUS for being clear, unambiguous, and leaving zero wiggle room.

@meJess No, I approve of people getting their day in court and actual justice, not the ICEstapo just grabbing people and putting them into jails with NO due process.

@meJess Clearly, a lot of people here do.

That’s why a convicted criminal was allowed to continue running for president, after all. That’s why those people had no problem voting for him. 😳

@MrBrownstone I don't see what that has to do with anything. But for the record, I don't approve of either.

@LordShadowfire A red herring from @MrBrownstone? Quel choc.

@kodiac do I really need to pull out to dictionary to explain what a person is? 🙄 And nice deflection on your part. Every accusation... What do you not understand about crossing the border legally on a temporary visum to apply for citizenship?

@NerdyPotato if you did it that way you wouldn't be deported. You claim they get no day in court ,also are you seriously saying 13 million people are here on a temporary visa? The people getting arrested at the court house are there because they committed crimes after they came here illegally. 13 million hell that's probably as many as your entire country. Do you have 13 million immigrants in your country.

@kodiac no, I'm not saying everyone here is on a temporary visum, nor that there are no people going to court who don't have the right paperwork to stay. The only thing I'm saying is that it is important to determine who is and who isn't illegal before deporting people. That is what those court appointments are for and what due process means. And by arresting and deporting people before their appointment and due process, that determination isn't awaited and people who do everything legally are deported together with the ones who don't.

@GuidanceCounselor No they don't dummy

@MethDozer illegals will get their hearing but they should wait outside the US for it.

@tobynshorty ✊

@bijouxbroussard I am deeply disappointed at the number of fascists on this website alone.

@CorvusBlackthorne That's the cause of 90% of my blocks here.

@ChipmunkErnie

Same - this post is a gold mine of such types.

@ElwoodBlues 8 U.S.C. § 1325

@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

@GuidanceCounselor It's funny that you keep repeating: "8 U.S.C. § 1325", when that leades you to title 18. You know... where they talk about the entire process that the governement needs to follow to deal with these things. Including the rights to a judicial process. Because in your system, the executive branch is there to enforce the laws, they can make an entire case against someone that they believe broke the rules. But at the end of the day, the judicial branch has the final judgement. The executive branch is never: judge, jury and executioner. 8 U.S.C. § 1325, is consistent with the constitution and consistent with the cases ElwoodBlues is quoting. The problem is that you don't do any legwork and forgot to look at title 18 that is literally mentioned:

Title 18 U.S. Code Part II - Criminal PROCEDURE

EDIT after being Blocked: Let's hope GuidanceCouncelor finds some professional help, and gets some lessons in comprehending reading. Maybe foreigners will make him feel less insecure in the future.
