He’s trolling. “DC is safer, also I don’t live there”. He’s fucking with you and all of us. We all read how the new US attorney in DC won’t charge people for carrying assault weapons and we’re watching the deployment of US military- not in SE, NE, or Anacostia - but to monuments and tourist spots. Everyone who has two brain cells knows this isn’t about crime.
 

Oh but don’t say how many federal agents that refuse to identify themselves act like a police force that’s secret. Bc if you accurately compare their actions to SS and Nazis then that’s somehow proving you just don’t understand how to debate anyone.

Just baiting and bomb throwing bullshit. Next he’ll probably post about trans people in the military 

Anyways, people need to get better at ignoring trolls

Maybe. This guy posts so much stupid shit on here, I also struggle to believe it's not an act just to rile people up.  Then I remember who was twice elected to office, and it becomes more believable that people are this misinformed and proudly belligerent about it.  The current state of education in this country is likely to exacerbate this problem, rather than alleviate it.

(Emphasis added).  No PERSON.  Doesn't say "citizen."  All people in the U.S. are afforded the right to Due Process.  Either everyone has it, or no one has it.

Yes, but see, if you ignore the plain language of the Constitution, as well as 100+ years of consistent Supreme Court and appellate court jurisprudence, then it does NOT apply to non-citizens!

Also, I am a strict constructionist of the Constitution and love it very very much!

with regard to comparing Trump to Hitler...Godwin said "those of us who hope to preserve our democratic institutions need to underscore the resemblance before we enter the twilight of American democracy."

yeah, i don't think invoking 'Godwin's law!' worked out the way DalTx intended lol.

There's also that whole thing where it's not actually functionally possible to have a system in which citizens get due process and non-citizens don't. Due process is sort of necessary in order to determine whether a person is a citizen or not in the first place.

Yeah....for emphasis.

Taking the position that "non-citizens" don't get due process is as ludicrous as saying "people guilty of a crime don't get due process."  You can't tell which side of the line those people are on....until you make a determination....that can only be accomplished via....DUE PROCESS.

Otherwise, all the admin has to do is unilterally declare that DalTx is not a citizen, nab him, toss him on a plane, and bury him at CECOT for the rest of his life.  Arguing his position is as dumb as it fucking gets, but "as dumb as it fucking gets" is absolutely the name for our current timeline, so here we are.

No, no, being here illegally is the worst crime you can possible commit against the United States

Not inciting a riot against elected officials to overturn the results of an election, not draining US taxpayers to enrich your friends and family, not using foreign policy and foreign aid to illicit damaging information to use against your election opponent, not rewarding a private citizen for fucking with voter rolls with government contracts

I was driving to work today and as I was crossing North Capitol there was a black man, without a helmet, riding an ATV.  He popped a wheelie through the intersection and continued down North Capitol southbound toward the Capitol.  Normally, that shit pisses me off because it puts pedestrians, cars, and bicycles in danger but not today.  The level of 'I don't give a fuck' required by that man with all of the guardsmen, ICE, extra cops, etc, was off the charts.  Today, that man was my hero.  I wish I could have armed him with sandwich.

In yet another facet of our fucked-up immigration policy, first time unlawful or improper entry into the United States is indeed a crime, albeit a misdemeanor.  https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1325

Second and subsequent unlawful entries are a minor felony.

You are correct that the process of removing or deporting unlawful entrants is a civil matter, but it can also result in criminal charges.

Historically, though, we have not criminally charged first-time or even second-time unlawful entrants.  Only chronic re-enterers get charged criminally.

U.S. penalties, on paper and as applied, for unauthorized entry are among the most lenient in the world and are not even close to the top of why immigration policy is awful. Basic border control and immigrant screening is a simple state capacity and security issue and a longstanding policy choice not to really do it is a big reason you’ve seen this incredible backlash.

Immigration policy is broken because it hasn’t been seriously tackled in decades and so it reflects old realities and there has been no democratic process around it and a (correct) vibe that the system does not serve either desirable potential immigrants or U.S. citizens and workers but rather relatively small pockets of self-interest. 
 

The portion of America that’s foreign born is higher than it has been since the early 20th century, which coincided with another big nativist backlash. This was absolutely inevitable and foreseeable, Americans are not unique in having these sentiments, and it’s really been a failure to sensibly manage migration flows in a way that balances interests and rights that caused it.

Well, I consider having a law that is alternately enforced or not enforced, according to whim of administration to be fucked up and symbolic of a legal scheme that is in bad need of reform. But it's not the biggest fucked up thing, no, you're right there.

It appears that a lot of the world is pretty similar to the US, though, misdemeanor first offense, often not enforced, and harsher penalties for repeat offenders.  https://www.hsdl.org/?view&did=829757

Title 8 of the U.S. Code, Section 1325, which classifies improper entry by an alien as a misdemeanor for a first offense, punishable by up to six months in prison, a fine, or both. Repeat offenses can be charged as a felony, with penalties up to two years in prison.

Where in his quote does he talk about an action this statue prohibits?

I'll help you out: it doesn't. Being here "illegaly" is what he talked about. Presence in this country without authorization MAY be the result of a criminal act, but is itself, with no other information at hand, not a crime. If no other information can be ascertained, then only civil actions and remedies can be brought to bear. For a look into the reality of how this plays out, see TH's post above, #320. I point this out to show you that your comment, while not only being a textbook example of misapplication of law to facts, is also totally unneccessary and redundant.

but you agree that if the government suspects someone on the street of being guilty of improper entry, that person has no right to due process, no right to see a judge, no right to present evidence of lawful entry or legal status, and can be summarily rendered to 3rd world torture sites, right?

Sure, simply being is not a crime. I can be, you can be, anyone can be. None of that is criminal Except when the "being" came about as the result of a felony and is therefore not a civil matter.

Our immigration laws/policy is what it is because too many American companies would go under if they lost their cheap labor, along with Americans who individually love being able to get cheap labor to mow their lawns, put on new roofs, bang their wives after cleaning the pool, etc. Neither party is interested in calling out these business interests or Americans who are paying for cheap lawn care under the table, nor are they interested in making policy changes.  For all of Trump’s bluster, this will eventually fade and things will go back to the way they were.  People want cheap food and cheap labor and people like Trump especially need cheap manual labor.
