Trump Says Trials for Migrants "Not Possible"

[Anonymous]

He is telling us clear as day that he won't honor due process. Read his words for yourself.

“We cannot give everyone a trial, because to do so would take, without exaggeration, 200 years,” Trump added in his Truth Social post. “We would need hundreds of thousands of trials for the hundreds of thousands of Illegals we are sending out of the Country. Such a thing is not possible to do. What a ridiculous situation we are in.”

It would have been possible if the Congress had passed the bill this time last year that would have funded the administrative judges needed to achieve this, but Trump got the Congres to kill the GOP's own bill and somehow it was all Biden's fault.

Trump also fired a dozen immigration judges.

Well. The SC has said otherwise. So we will have a genuine Constitutional crisis and Trump will not win. Grounds for impeachment and there just might be enough Republicans who want to keep our democracy as d who will vote with Dems.

If this were the case, we wouldn't be here right now. Maybe some will change but I wouldn't count on it.

Exactly. He would have been impeached for Jan 6. The Rs are to blame.

MAGAs don't care if the constitution is followed except when it's 2a.

I am beginning to worry that the cumulative result of Trump and Supreme Court actions are going to make our Constitution untenable, to the point where it would take an actual convention to fix it. But given the degree of MAGA infection in US politics, that's at least as frightening.

A veto-poof majority of senators can pass reform laws like we had after Watergate. That is my hope for a post-Trump US, assuming there are elections.

Bet. Let's keep up that same energy when Dems get power back and we round up & ship off all the MAGA to El Salvador without pesky due process.

I am sorry I don't quite understand how can an illegal immigrant can be turned about away at the border with zero due process but somehow if they make it into the country there has to be due process in order to deport them? Outside of validating their status what else should we need to do?

POTUS is correct on this one.

No doubt that's his sentiment but someone else wrote that.

Validating their status and pesky things like whether they are deportable IS due process.
