The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

sending hundreds of alleged criminal immigrants to corrupt Venezuelan prisons

It's El Salvador. This is a serious breach. Due process didn't exist in America until the Constitution, it was a concept, om paper, under the Age of of Enlightenment. There were a lot of firsts in the Constitution - due process was one of them - and they sprang from discussions with Europeans and Americans. John Locke cowrote the Constitution for the Carolinas, and we know how influential he was. Now these firsts may be tossed aside by zealots.

My pro Trump neighbor thinks the Geneva Convention can be ignored because its European and he really doesn't know what it is. I ask myself - how can you not know what the Geneva convention is, but he proudly and loudly doesn't. And due process can be ignored for illegal immigrants. All of this frivolous stuff that keeps America from just expelling immigrants is European and, like the UN, we can ignore it because it isn't American.

BTW - around 27 of the 131 deported to El Slavador were designated Tren de Aragua and 101 were normal detainees, so we are disappearing people. We need to get those 101 back on a flight to America and give them due process.
