The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

What I think is happening is that lots of people are appalled that the federal statutes and Constitution don't afford the same rights to immigrants, and especially not to immigrants who are here unlawfully, as they do to citizens.

Not me. They're due a hearing, but the requirements for due process don't have to be as stringent as for a citizen. A certain amount of mistakes will be made, but let's not ship citizens to CECOT. The standards can be lower, but still reasonable. You can have an administrator who sorts out cases that should go before a judge, makes to decisions to deport where the chance of success is low, and allows a little more time where needed.

If someone is here on a valid VISA, why have a hearing unless they've committed a crime? If they've overstayed their VISA by a few days by a reasonable misunderstanding, just let them go home.

Let's not send people home who've been here for 30 years and have family, etc. Let the teenager graduate from HS and make a case if they have family here. The Spanish Culture is one of the greatest cultures in the world and we aren't destroying America by letting it flourish. The first cowboys were vaqueros.
