GOP Senator Lankford is an Idiot.

DUE PROCESS for DUMMIES….
Did you enter the U.S. legally? If Yes > Due Process
Did you enter the U.S. legally? If No > Get Out.

Speaking of, “Due Process for Dummies,” (the irony, here )…

Being asked the question, “Did you enter the US legally?” and having the opportunity to answer the question (or charges that one did not enter the US legally) before a lawful, fact-finding entity is due process.

You’ve affirmed Senator Lankford’s position. He thanks you. He’s not saying they should have a jury trial.

Without due process, the government could even deport you… just because. They could say you are an illegal immigrant and remove you without ever giving you the opportunity to so much as show a birth certificate or driver’s license.

Is that what you want?

Now, whether or not due process of law applies to illegal aliens is up for debate. And on this issue, I’m fine with deporting illegal immigrants- just put them on a bus or plane, no questions asked. But, keep in mind that doing so means the government can just declare you an illegal alien and deport you, too.

Trump is in office and hopefully we get 8 years of Vance. But, the next Biden administration may take this to the extreme.

So, what’s the answer? I don’t know. For now, I say deport the illegals, anyway, and we’ll deal with whatever comes when we get there.

But, I understand the concern of some on the issue. If you don’t, you’re just fricking retarded.

Anyone ever consider that the process is of itself the deportation process

You deport them and then they can appeal from Mexico. Obviously, they'll have to take a number.

I guess he’d give a chance for the burglar leaving his house with loads of his stuff a chance to make his argument right?

Nope. he wants more “opportunity for someone to be able to make an argument before they are removed” Answering a yes or no question is not an argument. Try Again….

Goddamn. I’ll bet you vote, too. I’ll bet you even claim to believe in, “the rule of law.”

He’s saying they should be given the opportunity to answer the question before a lawful, fact-finding entity with proper authority… and it doesn’t need to be complicated. He’s not saying they should have a jury trial.

Simplifying (for you)…If ICE picks up a person without any documentation that they suspect of being here illegally, they go before an immigration judge to answer the question, “Are you here illegally?” At that point, if they’re here legally, they can produce documents and evidence to that effect (an argument). If they’re not, they get on the plane.

That due process.

You are one stupid son of a bitch…. and calling other people idiots.

I think they deserve about 2 minutes of due process

Enter ANY other country in the World illegally and see what kind of due process you get. Hell, some probably just shoot you to save time.

He pretends to be a Baptist Minister. I think he is just a garden variety moron.

Would that be "legal" aliens or "illegal" aliens. Only one of those appears to be subject to the jurisdiction (and protection) of the US legal system. The other is subject to the jurisdiction (and protection) of the country from which they came...by other than legal means.
