Trump can disagree all he wants but if the law requires an administrative process be followed in order to deport someone then the law has to be followed. Trump can work to change it but he can’t ignore it. We’ve had too much of that from occupants of the Oval Office already.
TRUMP says “ the law of the land must be followed concerning gay marriage”???
But not the “ Law of the land concerning due process for illegals?
NO I am NOT for amnesty...or illegals given rights!! but we are talking here about following existing laws.
O’Reilly is trying to conflate the administrative process with full citizen-level legal rights. Neither side in this argument is being clear enough by half.
When I heard this discussion I realized that people can lawyer up and force the hearing that O’reily is calling out.
However an act of Congress could result in people who have a good chance of being judged as “good” in Trump’s plan waiving the hearing, submitting their paperwork, and showing up at a border site to have their residency determined. In other words, they would actively seek to have their status reviewed and this would not take all that long. This is a way around the hearing and judge situation based on the immigrants request. Not all that hard to imagine, and people who have been here a while should be able to prove that they have not been on welfare, not been in the criminal justice system, made normal progress in school, and have a job. This could eliminate hearings for the majority of the illegals. The ones that fail the above could have hearings and end up deported. (At a much lower rate, but still an improvement over ignoring the issue.
