Republicans need to keep baiting the Democrat's into defending unpopular stances. Immigration, transgenderism, pronouns, DEI, Department of Education, etc the list is long and unpopular.

So it's OK that he beat his wife as long as he wasn't arrested? She probably deserved it anyway.

Why do phrase things the way you do. You take statements out of context and then you make up the most ridiculous conclusions. Do you somehow think it makes you sound more right.

It's already a way of life. Conservatives have an agenda of transferring all the wealth of the world into the fewest possible hands. Liberal propaganda is designed to help them achieve that.

 

[Thales750]

To be clear, I have never said we should not have tariffs. I said Trump is an idiot and his followers are brainwashed. Trump should have thought this out better. Well, at all actually.
Maybe one of you will ask me how I would do it? Probably not, but one can hope.

These companies say they're investing more in U.S. manufacturing as tariffs go into effect

President Trump wants to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. These companies say they're investing in domestic factories.

he had not one but TWO hearings that resulted in declaring him to be an MS-13 gang member

The problem with this declaration is that 5 days after he was picked up at home depot and allegedly declared to be a gang member, the cop who declared it was added to the brady list and subsequently pled guilty.

Keep singing that as you watch the world crumble.

This is the idiot in the white House.

Auto industry tells Trump that tariffs on car parts will mean 'layoffs and bankruptcy'

A coalition of auto industry groups, including manufacturers and dealers, say in a letter that car parts tariffs will cripple industry.

Why would the world crumble?

I told you the question you should ask me earlier. It's just that you don't want your belief system to be challenged. That's why the world is crumbling even as we speak. Blindly supporting Trump policies is irrational
I know many of you will never see the problem, let alone admit it.

No candidate enjoys a 100% approval rating, and Trump is no exception. To me, the execution of his campaign promises feels like it's around 50–60%. I could be way off, but that’s how I currently see it. There are areas where I wish he would do better particularly when it comes to figures like Pam Bondi and Pete Hegseth but overall, I’m willing to take a hit on the market if it leads to fairer trade and a secure, closed border. That’s a win in my book.

Judge Elizabeth A. Kessler

Judge Kessler was appointed as an Immigration Judge in January 2006. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1987 from Columbia University; a Master of Arts degree in International Relations 1992 from Yale Graduate School ; and a Juris Doctorate in 1992 from Yale Law School.


Judge David M. Jones is a member of the Utah State Bar and has been serving as a supervisory immigration court judge since March 2019. He oversees the Baltimore Immigration Court and has also handled cases at the Hyattsville Immigration Court. During fiscal years 2019 through 2024, he decided 374 asylum claims on their merits, granting asylum for 267 and denying relief to 106, resulting in a denial rate of 28.3 percent.8 This is notably lower than the national average denial rate of 57.7 percent for the same period.

Good qualifications, but they are still not actual judges. An actual judge ruled for Abrego-Garcia and stayed the deportation order.

An actual judge ruled for Abrego-Garcia and stayed the deportation order.

And when MS-13 officially became a foreign terrorist organization, all pending asylum grants for members thereof were supposedly canceled by an actual government. I can only go by what I see from multiple news sources.

 

[Isaac]

The question of whether Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13 is irrelevant. He was deported under the Alien Enemies Act. That law requires

"That whenever there shall be a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government, or any invasion or predatory incursion shall be perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States, by any foreign nation or government"

We are not at war with Venezuela. An "invasion" has to be a literal invasion, not a metaphorical invasion. Note that 1798, it might take months to summon congress and declare war, which is why authority was granted in case of invasion. Also note that "declared war" is specified. At the time of enactment, the US was engaged in naval operations against French privateers, which was not seen as a justification for deporting every French citizen in the US.

Abrego Garcia may deportable under other grounds but not under the Alien Enemies Act which is what was used. Therefore, his deportation is illegal.

I believe it's possible to swallow the usage of that law for this purpose under the 'incursion' part, especially when thousands per day were sort of just flowing across and we have no wall. Beyond that , it's questionable. I'm fifty-fifty on the general issue, but he himself should be returned to the USA.

In theory, I want the true gangbangers to be instantly and permanently deported with no mercy or hesitation, but ::

The guilt by association of people remotely, lightly, presumably, maybe, rumored to be, (etc) connected to MS13 needs to be handled very carefully. We as a nation are supposed to be extremely skeptical of guilt by association, and you or I could be next if we have the wrong opinion on something.

This is a little bit (to me) like the prostitution vs. trafficking issue. I want girls who have been really trafficked to be helped immediately and without reservation as much as the next guy does. Unfortunately, all prostitutes claim to be trafficked. All gangbangers claim to be not really associated. (That's their bad). All people remotely connected to a person involved in a gang Trump will claim to be MS13 (that's his bad).

We just have to be really careful and discriminating with the whole thing.

Even Dershowitz stated (paraphrased) that if you cannot prove US citizenship you can be immediately deported

I have a problem with this, as stated. maybe the context he said it in involved other assumptions, which would make it more palatable to me (I'm not sure). For example, I have heard that a US citizen can legally ignore the checkpoints set up in southern new mexico, texas and arizona and just say they are a US citizen and are not going to show any documents. If that is legal how can Dershowitz be right?
If what Dershowitz said is right, why do we say it is wrong for police to ask for documents from any brown skinned person they see?

I think he may be technically right, but very technically. In reality, questioning everyone for documents is a very slippery slope, we don't want our foreign-born, tan-skinned wives/sons in law/fathers in law to be harassed and deported if they have legal status. And revoking green cards is a very, very ugly business that ought to be incredibly rare, not a new fun tool Trump wields willy nilly. I don't want to get to the point where my wife (US Citizen) has to carry her US passport with her at all times to the grocery store, I would feel furious if this happened but I see a general direction beginning to unfold here.
I am a firm Republican, but if this issue continues more and more and more down this path until it gets generally ugly for a portion of the populace that it should NOT be ugly for, I'll switch my party affiliation in a heartbeat, and so will millions who'd prefer to be capable of looking their foreign born spouse in the eye at dinner. At least, I'd consider it against other issues and weigh the balance.

We know of millions of people who are actually documented illegals. I.E., they were given a court date for a deportation or asylum hearing and never showed. Millions, or close to it.....FOCUS ON THEM and quit di*king around with the edge cases

 

[AccessBlaster]

If that's the case, we may as well give up on enforcement. It's essentially a one-way system without any recourse. They flood in and then it takes a life time of litigation to remove them.

if what's the case do you mean in particular?

 

[AccessBlaster]

I think we should go back 300 years and relitigate every decision ever made. And if even one person objects, we should start over and keep relitigating the past 300 years until we get everything absolutely right by all standards.

It's been happening all over. Google it.

We just had 2 brothers who were arrested dropping the kids off at school. They were held for almost a month. One of them was here legally and was just released the other day.

American citizens keep getting ensnared in Trump’s immigration crackdown

Nineteen-year-old Jose Hermosillo, whose family says he was held in ICE detention for 10 days, is just the latest such example.

And you wonder why democrats have been screaming about due process.
