There is a major discussion circling around us about the masses of illegal aliens who entered this country while Joe Biden was President. It is akin to what occurred when Angela Merkel opened the floodgates to people entering her country. Once in Germany, they then spread across the rest of Europe causing tremendous havoc for the native populations. The question is what is our responsibility in removing these people from our country?
A lot of people have been barking about “due process.” They may be correct, but why are they considered by some to be correct? What rights should people have if they enter the country illegally, not following the proper procedures?
Vice-President Vance has taken the following position: “Biden overwhelmed the system with illegal migration. Is your proposed solution to give a jury trial to all 20 million illegal aliens (more if you count those already here)? I am sick of abstract arguments. What your proposal does, whether you know it or not, is ratify the presence of millions of illegal aliens in our country. I reject that.”
Not everyone agrees with that position. Andrew McCarthy writes regarding the current cause célèbres of the Left: “The roundup led to the discovery that he was in the country illegally and had been for about seven years. Being an illegal alien made Abrego Garcia subject to removal proceedings. (Memo to the Trump administration: when a suspect is subject to a removal proceeding, the government must prevail in the proceeding before doing the removal. As we will see, the Trump DOJ lost the proceeding the first time around … and now it wants to skip the proceeding all together.)”
That may be true; but, sorry, I disagree. Why are we obligated to have a hearing when, 1. The burden of proof is on him (Garcia) that he is here legally; and 2. Not one person I have read has argued he is here legally.
When Trump started to remove people who were not citizens and guilty of crimes, I agreed with Border Czar Tom Homan that the government was going to remove them first. We then found out 1.5 million people who came here have been judged as not being here legally and were told to leave by Immigration courts. When I bring this up to members of the Garcia fan club, no one has even responded to the subject. They divert. Worse, a friend of mine who is a long-time immigration attorney stated a large portion of the 1.5 million would appeal and be in the country for years as the courts are flooded.
Who is paying for this? We know we are stuck paying for the prosecutors, judges, and courtrooms. We need to find out who is paying for these appeals. You know it comes from one of two places. 1. NGO’s who are funded through the web of Biden interlocking funds utilized to hide that American citizens are paying; or 2. Affluent Left-wing billionaires funding this through their alternative web of non-profits, often funded by foreign sources.
We need to address another issue. The Left is atwitter about a comment from President Trump. Trump was asked if he is considering deporting criminals who are American citizens. He said he would love to. “I call them homegrown criminals, the ones that grew up and something went wrong, and they hit people over the head with a baseball bat and push people into subways just before the train gets there, like you see happening sometimes. We are looking into it, and we want to do it. I would love to do that.”
Let me be clear. This will never happen so stop repeating it. Trump says things like this to drive the Left crazy. This is a clear case of something he said that is not remotely serious. American citizens have different rights. As bad an actor as someone might be, they will be tried in an American court and subject only to American justice and American jails.
Mark my words. Just like I stated in 2017 that the Left will be whispering forever ‘Charlottesville’ – a lie about what Trump said, they forever will be repeating this even though it will never happen: “But he wanted to.”
As for someone who is not a citizen they have various stages of rights. Until they become citizens, they do not have the same rights as we do. Even people who have Green Cards do not have the same rights.
As for Garcia and his ilk, he is here illegally, and no one is arguing against that. As far as I am concerned if he wants to make a legal argument, he can do it from El Salvador. He has no right to be here.
This is where we have gone astray. Illegals should not have rights to anything once they cross our border. If they do not apply and come in through the proper process they should be kicked out. Sorry, and I will guarantee 80% of Americans are sick of them hanging here and having us pay for this legal mumbo jumbo. No other country in the world would do this nonsense of supplying legal aid to illegal entrants into their country.
Things like this are why we are $36 trillion in debt. It is nonsense. Where is it written in our Constitution that we must pay for non-citizens, especially ones that are here illegally?
The Law Cartel asserts that the illegals have rights because of the 14th amendment. That amendment was passed directly after the Civil War to specifically validate rights for former slaves. To twist that amendment to state that people 150 years later, who enter the country illegally when we have long established processes, have rights and due process is blasphemous.
The Left could openly get behind this cause and raise the funds. Oh, sorry, lefties do not do that. It is always paid with OPM (other people’s money). Ours.
