Also, what's your defense of the ICE agents arresting immigrants at their immigration court appointments? You know, the process of getting citizenship the RIGHT WAY. The way that all you bootlickers said immigrants should do. [/quote]

An immigration court appointment is not the same as a citizenship appointment.  These are recent arrivals who could and should have been immediately removed, but Biden instead let them into the country on parole.  
Trump administration has instead dropped the case, and with no case pending they turn into expedited removals.  For expedited removals, there is no more due process required.[/quote]

Np. If Biden let them in on parole, then they are simply doing what our government permitted them to do. You don’t have to agree with Biden’s decision, but according to your own words, they were allowed to be here. Why did Trump prioritize these people over the rapists and gang members he promised to go after? Simply to undo everything Biden has done?[/quote]Because no due process needs to be given.  They are easy removals that require less resources.[/quote]

MAGAs absolutely NEED to get this one key fact through your heads:

The Constitution guarantees due process for anyone on US soil.  The Fifth Amendment says "no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."  No PERSON.  It DOES NOT say "no citizen" and it doesn't differentiate based on citizenship.

And this has been repeatedly reaffirmed by the Supreme Court, for example Yick Wo v. Hopkins (1886), Zadvydas v. Davis (2001).

Stop saying "no due process" - you are completely, irrefutably wrong and you are trampling the Constitution when you say this.   [/quote]

Yes the whole uneducated, unskilled, illiterate economic migrant poor and needy world knows all those USA loopholes and exploits them. Gracias times 30 million. [/quote]

What they are exploiting is 40+ years of complete lack of coherent immigration policy.  And before you try to lay it all on the heads of "Democrats" it was YOUR people like Ronald Reagan who promoted turning a blind eye to migrants, not enforcing laws and so on.   For example Reagan's 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) that gave amnesty to 3 million illegals.  Or Bush's Guest Worker Programs Expansion (2000s–2010s) – Under George W. Bush, the H-2A visa program for agricultural workers expanded, providing legal pathways for migrant labor but with limited enforcement against visa overstays.  This sudden GOP hysteria over illegals didn't happen until Trump.  That's an absolute fact.

So what does this tell us about the MAGAs and the hysterical anti-migrant posters here on DCUM?  It tells me that either a.) they are uninformed and know absolutely nothing about their own side's history and policy and are completely talking out of their asses, just repeating whatever their cult leader says, or b.) they do know better but are here lying, being dishonest and disingenuous, are just trying to stoke outrage and falsely smear the other side, and are willfully trying to deceive the people who don't know better.   Either way there is NO c.) "we were right, we've always been right, we've always been consistent and factual for the last 50 years."

That said, spare us your self-righteousness, and if you are category a, maybe go away and try to do some reading and brush up on your history, if you are category b maybe go away and do some soul searching because you are truly not a good person. [/quote]

Why would supporting deportations now necessarily mean that I supported the policies of Ronald Reagan, whose term in office ended before I was born?

Policies and priorities shift over time.  Things that weren’t as important 40 years ago can become more important to people over time.  You have to know that.  [/quote]
