He said his client can’t voluntarily leave the country because he doesn’t have a passport or other travel documents.

And yet he had no trouble voluntarily leaving his own country and traveling illegally to America...
And what’s wrong with involuntarily ??
Just toss his butt out ...
To: Oldeconomybuyer
“He’s been physically unable to leave the United States unless he illegally entered another country,”

A couple of things...
Are both his legs broken and its not illegal for him to enter his own country...

He said his client can’t voluntarily leave the country because he doesn’t have a passport or other travel documents. I smell shyte.
Where did he come from? Since he is a citizen of that country, he can go there...he just doesn't want to.

No problem
The client will just be put on a free airloane and deported. The bad part is that he will not be able to pay his legal bill and his assets are forfeited to pay the fines

“Immigration attorneys call the fines a “scare tactic” to force people to self-deport.”
So what. No worse than IRS. In fact , much more lenient. Can you imagine how hard the Dems would be hitting the little people with the IRS now if they had won?
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Great idea! Thank you, President Trump.

They are costing the American taxpayers millions of dollars. They should be fined until they go home.

I have a difficult time not being vulgar about the failure to shut off the $$ pipeline to illegals by targeting the public programs and employers who willfully employ them.

“In recent months, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has revived a rarely enforced 1996 law, using it to issue fines to migrants with deportation orders as part of the administration’s aggressive immigration crackdown.”
As larrytown said on another thread recently :
“Past negligence is no reason for continued negligence.”

Yup.
It’s a start.
But I strenuously object if it ends there.
Employers need to be punished. Immediately.
Send a BRUTAL message with a massive takedown, fines and charges at owners.

OH NOES. Enforcing the laws is racist. And xenophobic. Someone think of the poor illegal alien criminals who have been gaming the system for years.

He said his client can't voluntarily leave the country because he doesn't have a passport or other travel documents. Contact your embassy and get a passport.

He said his client can't voluntarily leave the country because he doesn't have a passport or other travel documents. Military flight to his home country's airspace. Rig him up with a static line parachute and toss his sorry ass out the door.
