[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because in many cases, ICE is acting without warrants or valid removal orders signed by Judges. And I care about due process. For everyone.

Because they are not targeting immigrants with criminal convictions, or the most dangerous, or the ones who can be removed the most efficiently.  They are specifically targeting newly arrived and mixed status family units. Some of whom never had a hearing, because the government failed to provide proper notice.  So they will be locked up... where?... while they wait for a hearing.  And will they “lose” the parents when they are separated from the kids?

Because many of the families targeted are mixed status. So mom and/or dad will be deported, but the legal parent (if there is one) and American citizen kids will stay.  And mom or dad with a legal status who lost a breadwinner goes on public assistance.  The kids lose a parent or parents. If there is no parent, HHS or the foster care system get the kids— and they are full.  This all costs a lot of money. Foster care. HHS shelters. It makes no financial sense to prioritize self supporting families.

It is cheaper to have parents care for their own kids.  And better for American citizen kids, who will grow up and be too traumatized to function.  It is better for kids to have two earner families in lower income brackets. illegal citizen Mom working under the table as a house cleaner who never committed a crime with a green card spouse and American citizen kids isn’t a threat.

The Trump Admin is intentionally hurting families and kids kids— including American citizens— to prove a point or serve as deterrence. But, it’s creating a humanitarian crisis and the short term and long term costs are high.

Since ICE can’t deport everyone here illegally, I’d prefer they start with people who are dangerous, have criminal records, and/or have removal orders signed by Judges.  I’d prefer they keep families together and give American citizen kids the best possible shot at life. I’d prefer not to pay to House families where the parents have jobs and are self supporting when not in custody.  I’d prefer children not be isolated and sexually abuse.  Or overcrowded to the point diseases are spreading rapidly.

The only reason to target a newly arrived family who has not gone through the process or a mixed status family with jobs and no criminal records is to be cruel. And being cruel has not proven to be effective as a deterrent. But it seems to be a feature, AP not a bug, in this Admin. [/quote]

Signed,  dem who has no problem with deporting people who have received due process and have a corresponding deportation order[/quote]
