Then why doesn't your side do something about it. Trump is doing what needs to be done but no doubt it could be done faster and better if the effort was bipartisan. Instead all we get from Dems is criticism for what is being done.
We did do something about it, or at least tried to.
That bipartisanwritten bill that Republicans were set to help pass before Trump told Republicans to vote against, because, as he said, he wanted to run on the issue as a campaign message?
THAT Bill actually provided funds for expanding immigration courts and hiring more ICE agents, even though you guys are now saying itvwas a bad bill. Of course you are saying it was a bad bill because who wants to admit they were dead wrong?
As far as the number of people whisked off the street and shoved into detention camps even though they were here legally and committed no crimes…. It now appears that they were specifically targeted because they had written or spoken in defense of Palestinian rights in Gaza, so these people would not have been helped by expanded immigration courts. It was malice and not any desire to follow the law that drove their removal by Trump.
“Thought crimes”: the new category of prosecutable violations. But because they violate no law, they will not be deported through any legal means. So… of course the were snatched from the street and disappeared, because there is no legal process Trump could follow in order to do what he wanted to do.
These few snatch and grabs were TARGETED. Here’s how sneaky they were- just prior to their abductions (forget “arrests”. These weren’t arrests) their visas were secretly cancelled. I say “secretly” because they were not notified that the government was cancelling their visa. Hence, they were given no chance to appeal or selfq-deport. They were simply whisked away by masked agents, shoved into unmarked cars and disappeared.
Before they take the next step in this dystopian nightmare, which is doing the same to anyone they choose, they’re going to see if they can get away with these “test cases”. After all, they are immigrants…..LEGAL immigrants, but still immigrants, and who cares about immigrants, legal or otherwise?
If not enough people care about them and simply say “too bad, so sad”, they will have their answer.
And their green light.
