I'm arguing for the government to do what it always does, in every law enforcement circumstance: allocate their finite resources to prioritize actions that will do the most good with the least harm, and provide those who are being subject to law enforcement with the opportunity to argue the specifics of their own cases.
Are there no deportation hearings? Are there no criminal trials and bench warrants for illegals caught committing additional crimes?
Yes to both.
You're trying to argue that if someone argues that any specific individual case should be treated a certain way, it means every individual has to be treated that way. But that's not true. We don't have to do that, and we don't do that. It's why we don't have mass trials where we convict (or deport) thousands and thousands of people collectively. People get the change to have the specifics of their own situation reviewed.
This is contradictory. We don't do mass trials but we also don't have Perry Mason signed up to defend every single person we deport. So which is it? Who gets Perry Mason and who gets a Starbucks gift card to spend at the bus terminal? This was Miller's point: What percentage of the 10,000,000 or so are going to get more than what they're already getting?
There's absolutely no reason why this woman couldn't and shouldn't have been afforded some time to confer with her husband and a lawyer about what was best for their daughter, rather than being given barely a few minutes and thereafter being cut off from all communication. It was unnecessary, cruel, and contrary to a bare minimum of due process.
The husband didn't show up. That's on him. And why didn't they discuss this beforehand? Why is there no accountability for them in all this? They're in the situation because of the choices they made however many years ago; why was this scenario never brought up?
It's because of the way they're handling the immigration of people internal to the country.
No, it's because of the RELENTLESS campaign of the democrats/media (there's no difference) to try to find "personal stories" and conflate them with the entire effort. There's such zeal for it that the dems made absolutely fools of themselves by elevating the "Maryland father" to a martyr before they figured out he was a tattooed MS-13 wife-beating suspected human trafficker. I will give them this: given the scope of the problem they're bound to find at least 1 example of the government making a mistake and then argue to ground all of it to a halt.
