With immigration courts reaching a record backlog in 2016, Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly ordered Monday that illegal immigrants who have been in the U.S. for less than two years should be allowed to be deported without a court hearing.
Kelly signed two memos Monday that made significant changes to the nation’s immigration policy. They ordered the immediate construction of a border wall, expanded the amount of local police who will enforce immigration law, and put every illegal immigrant — excluding those protected under President Obama’s executive amnesty — at risk of deportation.
Condemnation of the plan by pro-immigration activists and Democratic politicians was swift. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement Tuesday, “By targeting those without serious convictions, those who have merely been charged with offenses, or those recent arrivals — including unaccompanied children — who have posed no safety threat to our neighborhoods, the President has chosen the politics of division over our nation’s safety.”

The saying about the EOIR is “the process isn’t over until the alien wins”
Kelly did the right thing.
Excellent. Well, that routs the Democrats’ plan to keep illegal aliens here by clogging up the courts!
Just got to love it!!!
Deportation hearings are for people who are here legally.
Your honor I am accused of DUI but I was actually going into diabetic coma.
Your honor, my America citizen spouse and I have divorced but I would like to stay as we have three children and I neither wish to take them away or only see them once a year. Yes, I have a job.
I swear your honor, I thought she was 18!
People here illegally should be tossed out.
Expand that term to at least ten years, and preferably until 1986.
If you sneaked across our border after the last amnesty, you and your children born here should be out of luck.
Are you a citizen? Do you have a valid visa? Are you obeying the confines of the VWP?
No to all three?
Why is a judge needed to decide that?
pretty sure this comes under “Making America Great Again” :)
ALL illegal aliens have ALWAYS been subject to removal.
It’s just that the last TWO Presidents have refused to do it.
No. Just the opposite.
Everyone of them should be tattood on their foreheads to be able to find them easier when they sneak back over the border.
I want to bring my relatives here. Im telling thrm to get on a plane and fly to New York. DeBlasio said it is okay.
You cant take a teenager that has lived nowhere but the U.S. since elementary school and just drop them off in Mexico or El Salvador or wherever. Nuts to think that is acceptable.
Not buying it.
We have military brats uprooted and moved around the world every few years.
Somehow they survive.
These are removals, not deportations.
They’re here, they aren’t supposed to be here. They know it, we know it. Most are Mexicans, some are central Americans
They are simply removed and returned to our Mexican amigos who assisted them in breaking into our country. Adios.
Don’t come back or face jail/prison/tent city.
Make each one of them serve time BUILDING THE WALL!
6 months hard labor building the wall, then deport them.
Why is it not acceptable to deport ANY illegal? It seems acceptable for the hard working people of this country to take care of everyone on the planet. It seems acceptable for our sons and daughters to go to God forsaken places and fight to fix everything that’s wrong on the planet. I am way past sick of “sucker Sam” doing everything for everyone except the deserving people of this country.

The teenager would be with a parent-——what’s wrong with that?
Kids move with parents all the time.

Not really, all they have to do is ask for “amnesty” and they get to see a judge.
