"Your Honor, we did not deport the woman in question. The woman chose to take a one-way trip to El Salvador to tour its prison facilities. Her flight just happened to have been on the same flight as a large group of Venezuelan gang members that were being deported at the same time. To show her there were no hard feelings between us, we opted to offer her a free seat on the flight. It was an offer she couldn't refuse. "

"Breaking news on the flight of gang members heading to El Salvador. Violence erupts on the plane mid flight as the permanent resident who voluntarily went to tour the prison in El Salvador decides to join the ranks of the Venezuelan gang and gets jumped in. Authorities could not intervene in the violent ritual due to fear of losing control of the plane, making her the latest person to be added to the list of prisoners as she is now a full member of the gang. Authorities claim she was given the option of being deported to her home country in South Korea but chose to go to the prison with the rest of the gang members instead stating they are her new family. Her status of permanent resident has been revoked and she is no longer allowed in the country."
So they'll try to kidnap her illegally anyway. Hope she can find a way to stay safe.
There's no private security group that would risk being blackballed by the toddler in chief
Orders. Asks. Calls for.
They don't fuckin care.
What's a court order for if not to be defied?
Only in the US, can someone come here, get residency, and then protest against that same country that gave you a chance. It's just crazy.
What's crazier is that you think that legal residents don't deserve a first amendment right despite doing so much more to have earned rights than any person who just happened to have been born here did. Fuck outta here with that shitty-ass take. All rights for all Americans, full stop.
But, no kind of punishments right? These "legal residents" want the best of both worlds. They want to cause chaos on campuses, protest a country that gave them a better life, and then cry that they don't deserve to be punished. It's ridiculous. Go to any other country on Earth and do the things these students did, and see how long you last..
People claim to support the Constitution and then say dumb shit like this. Try reading it. It's not very long. It very clearly spells out that everybody in the country has rights, and that one of this rights is the right to peacefully protest. You're even exercising that same right by arguing that they shouldn't have these rights. But they do. And the second you try to take that away from them, what's to stop a dictator on the other side from deciding that you don't deserve the right to disagree with your government anymore, and so cops will be authorized to break into your home and kidnap you and deport you to a country you've never been to.
Any argument you have about how that isn't the same thing is just going to cement how xenophobic and racist you are, so instead of bothering to reply, just sit with your thoughts and figure out what you can do differently moving forward to develop some amount of empathy and critical thinking skills to not advocate for things to get shitty for everybody in the long term. It's possible to grow and improve, and I'm rooting for you.
The constitutions also says the POTUS and the federal government have broad authority over immigration matters. Trump is doing what's in his power....and both sides are going to disagree because the Left (you) want all these non-citizens to have rights. While the Right (Me) want him to do exactly what he said he was going to.
Step 1: proclaim that immigrants no longer have rights.
Step 2: accuse person(s) you don't like of being an immigrant.
Step 3: because immigrants don't have rights, due process is not given.
Step 4: accuse person(s) of literally anything you feel like and order whatever sentence you decide is appropriate since an accusation is now also a conviction.
Are you getting it yet? Or will it have to target you specifically before you give a shit?
ILLEGAL immigrants... let's not confuse the two. I know your side is great at doing that. This isn't about "who I like" it's about enforcing the law. Just because you hold a card, or a "status" as some kind of immigrant, it doesn't mean your immune to deportation. If the government deems you've abused your status, they can deport, just like any other government from any other country in the world. The reason we're in this mess is because of people like you, that want all these rights and privileges given to non-citizens, so that it gets tied up for YEARS, and those illegal immigrants end up in the system...literally, with nothing happening. Next thing you know, they're being deported and the left starts crying.
Lol okay, keep not understanding. You aren't putting together that rescinding rights guaranteed to people means that all you need to do is claim that somebody is in that group that doesn't get rights and they no longer have rights to things like a trial. I could literally just call you an illegal immigrant and you'd never get the opportunity to prove otherwise because you wouldn't have the right to anymore.
As for the "ILLEGAL immigrants" thing, there's a difference between civil offenses and criminal offenses. If you don't even know that, then idk where you get off thinking you get to lecture anybody about how laws work. I'm sorry to say that you're just flat out fucking wrong about this. Quit parroting what partisan media is spoon-feeding to you and look shit up for yourself. They benefit by convincing you to accept the bullshit that they're selling. Be more skeptical. Any time you see something on media, ask yourself who is benefiting from the message they're sending out.
Your side is literally fighting with each other over electrical vehicles. You're the last ones to give criticism.
Lol what? Idk what "news" story you're referencing, but it's entirely irrelevant here. Wildly pivoting to an entirely different topic like this is irrefutable proof that you're wrong, have realized you're wrong, and refuse to confront and admit that you're wrong. This thread is also old now, so nobody is even following this anymore anyway. As such, any further engagement would be a total waste of my time, so I'm out.
Good luck figuring shit out. I don't need to convince you; the future will do that for me.
Who cares about other countries. The law is the law here. For everyone.
You don't like it, that's fine. But your feelings don't matter to the law.
The law on immigration is on the side of the POTUS and the government.
Protest whatever you want
In another country? Can I go to South Korea, where she's from, and cause chaos on a college campus without any kind of repercussions?
*in USA, you can protest anything you want
"On the one hand it's genocide, but in the other hand I have personally benefited from the marginally less awful things this country does. Oh well, guess I don't have the right to an opinion"
Textbook jingoism.
Oh geez... let us know when you're leaving this terrible country.. for greener pastures...
Do you have an example of another democracy with freedom of speech that has deported someone with residency for being part of a protest against said country?
