“This law does not apply, “
I agree.
“it’s just being dishonestly used to justify lack of action to stop the influx.”
I think I know what you mean, but I’m not sure I follow.
Do you mean that the reason they are not deporting them is because they are dishonestly acting as if the law does apply to them, so therefore they cannot be immediately returned, and further must be given counsel of some sort?
That makes sense.
Yup. That’s what I meant. Guess it wasn’t as clear as I thought.
