Mass Deportation: this is going to be expensive

[Anonymous]

Where?

Did people complain about deportation costs during the Obama and Biden administrations? I searched but couldn’t find anything.

Democrats believe each alien should get a lengthy federal trial before being sent back.

After we scour the country to find them.

Because they are all evading arrest.

A typical trial would take months to complete.

Not counting appeals.

This would mean even if we shut down our entire federal court system to do nothing else the process that the Democrats demand would take multiple centuries to complete.

Which Democrats understand. Because they don’t want any aliens removed. They want them all registered—to vote.

The judicial process is for Americans.

Immediate deportation is for illegal aliens.

If you break into someone’s house you don’t get to spend months or years debating your presence.

Trespassers must go. And they must go now.

This is indeed what happened, but it’s even worse:

- The backlog for an illegal alien’s very first court appearance is 2 years or longer (about half never even show up).

Then there are the continuances for months or years. Then the appeals, many of which are taking 5 years to come up.

Even after the administrative appeals, there are petitions for review in federal court.

And at any point, the alien can abscond (many do). They are a non-priority, especially in “sanctuary” states and counties.

That is because the Constitution mandates due process for anyone on US soil, regardless of their citizenship or status. Like it or not, deal with it. It's the frickin Constitution.

Now that said, there have been repeated efforts, going back to Obama (and I'm sure prior) to clear the backlog by having more judges and courts and resources to hear and adjudicate the cases to determine whether they should be deported, et cetera. But guess what - it's the Republicans who have staunchly and steadfastly refused to allow any additional funding or resources for that.

Due process for deportations is different than due process for criminal cases.

Most of us know that, It's also different for civil vs criminal cases unrelated to immigration. It's also part of administrative remedies where those apply (e.g. appealing Social Security denial).
The Constitution specifies just a few elements of due process--the right to trial by jury in criminal cases and civil cases, the right of habeas corpus, 4th amendment protections against unreasonable searches, etc. Other elements--such as the right to a court appointed attorney if you can't afford one (which does not apply in immigration court, which is not even a judicial court)--have developed out of caselaw.
Continuances and appeals are not a matter of right, they apply for "good cause" and questions of law respectively.

tell me that there are not actually millions of illegals in this country. If there were, ICE would have no problem picking them out and going through the process to deport them, the way Biden and Obama did. Instead, taking out people who have gong through the process and are following our laws is simply human trafficking and against International Law.

It is not against any law. These people are illegal immigrants, who Biden let in on parole.
This parole can be revoked at any time, and by dismissing the asylum case, the status returns to as if they just entered the border. This is an expedited removal, and there is very little 'due process' for expedited removals. They can make the same credible fear claim they were using as their excuse when applying for asylum.

If you’re illegally present — sooner or later — ICE will arrest you.

Would you rather leave

- Unexpectedly after an ICE arrest?
- On your own terms?

No, they are not illegal immigrants, they are migrants who are going through the legal process to gain citizenship after successfully claiming asylum status, or TPS status. THAT IS NOT ILLEGAL no matter how much you want to claim it is. The Supreme Court has affirmed as such.

Not according to the Supreme Court. ICE is violating the process these people are legally adhering to under International and US law.

Because they did it legally and correctly.

This way is costing us millions more and for what? Go on any social media platform and look up the hashtag deported. Watch video after video of people laughing about being deported and already being back in the US.

Nicolle Saroukos, a U.S. military wife, was jailed, strip-searched and deported when she simply tried to visit her husband in Hawaii. Saroukos, an Australian, had a valid visa.

SCOTUS has ruled that all persons in the US, whether here legally or illegally, shall be afforded due process.

The US Constitution covers all PERSONS in the US, not US Citizens. There's a difference.
