I agree, so why don’t we figure out a way to get this done without trashing what is msst precious. I think every one of those kids could be flown to their home in one day if it was coordinated. Not only that but even the UN couldn’t say there was anything wrong with returning poor exploited children to the safety of their home country.
“I think every one of those kids could be flown to their home in one day if it was coordinated.”
Your position is a little confusing to me. You’re good with it, if their deportation is done efficiently?
We survived Jefferson’s purchase of the Louisiana territory.
And Lincoln’s suspension of habeus corpus and declaring martial law during the Civil War/’War of Northern Aggression’.
And we survived interning Japanese during WWII.
And a few hundred other things.
Extreme exigency sometimes dictates policy, as pointed out by Jefferson, above.
I agree with you that they should be rounded up and shipped home immediately, as quickly as they arrived—ASAP. We’re getting a lot of double-talk (as usual) from the Obamanites.
But what about your Constitutional objections? The Equal Protection Clause requires each state to provide equal protection under the law to all people within its jurisdiction.
And through the 14th, the Fifth amendment guarantees the right to procedural and substantive due process.
I suspect the administration had all these kids advised to claim they were bring threatened by gangs and such, even it wasn’t true, so they could claim political asylum. I consider it just as likely that their country was happy to see them go, for whatever reasons, like the Marielitos.
But now you’re OK with packing them all off, as long as the UN is good with it and all the Constitutional `i’s are dotted and `t’s crossed?
Why are you agonizing over this? As usual, Obama has his tail stuck in crack. So now he’s trying to make lemon-aid out of this lemon that he squeezed through national gerrymandering and back-door amnesty.
No way Jose.
AS a postscript, I have as much trouble with giving tens of thousands of flagrant lawbreakers full trials or administrative hearings as I do with the concept of `birthright citizenship.’
Run them through by a magistrate, sure, and if the note prepared for them, pinned to their nap-sack: `MS-13 was mean to me’ is an obvious ploy to circumvent our immigration laws, then pack them into cargo planes and return them to their countries of origin.
Myself, I would put them on 2 1/2 ton trucks, then perp-march them to the Mexican border, urge them back across, at gunpoint if necessary, then carpet-bomb the Mexican RR tracks that brought them up here.
But that’s just me. IMO Mexico’s attitude towards us, demonstrated through narco-terrorism and invasion, has been as a belligerent for far too long.
