Bondi fires 18 immigration judges

[Concerned American]

t would be simpler to discontinue US military interventions, trade agreements, and support for right-wing dictators that make illegal immigration attractive to poor Latin Americans and others.

Nothing republicans have done has made illegal immigration attractive. That would be the vegetable that was just kicked out of office after he told all comers to surge the border. You're projecting your democrat persona again.

 

[Delldude]

Sounds like racial profiling.

More like searching law enforcement data bases.

Deporting every undocumented immigrant would be logistically impossible, politically unpopular, and cost hundreds of billions of dollars.

The juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Not deporting anybody because we might not be able to deport everybody who needs to go all at once is just dumb. I am pretty darn sure those 'productive' people who have been here a long time are not high up on the list of those they're intend to deport first. But if they happen to get caught up in the legal stings or raids, well that's unfortunate for them but that's the way the mop flops.

Why does the immigration status of a felon matter to victims of violent crime?

By filling labor gaps in low-skill labor-intensive jobs in agriculture, construction, food service, and hospitality, undocumented workers sustain these industries keeping them operational and competitive.

ChatGPT:"Which positive economic consequences do undocumented workers bring to the US economy?"

"2. Lower Consumer Prices​

• "By reducing labor costs, undocumented workers help keep prices lower for many goods and services, especially in:
  • Food production
  • Housing construction
  • Restaurant and cleaning services

3. "Contributions to Social Security​

• "Many undocumented workers use false or borrowed Social Security numbers, leading them to pay into the system without ever collecting benefits."

All illegal aliens do is suppress workers wages.

That depends on whether immigrant workers function as substitutes for native-born labor or complements to them:

The Economics of Immigration: A Story of Substitutes and Complements

"Immigrant workers can either be substitutes for native-born workers or complements to them.

"When immigrant workers are substitutes for native-born workers, they compete for similar jobs.

"Using a simple supply and demand model, an influx of substitutable workers constitutes an increase in the supply of labor, causing wages to fall for workers with similar skills..."

"However, when workers are complementary, an increase in immigrant labor can increase job opportunities and wages for native-born workers.

"So, the low-skilled immigrant labor reduces the cost of production and increases the output of those goods; this greater output increases the demand for other, higher-skilled workers."

The US has not endorsed open borders since 1924:

America had open borders until 1924. Racism and corporate greed changed that | Daniel Mendiola

"It is worth noting that this immigration system is not an original component of US governance.

"Whereas the first government under the US constitution formed in 1789, there were no federal immigration laws until the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, and even this law was limited in the sense that it banned a specific class of immigrants.

"The US did not have closed borders until the Immigration Act of 1924, which established national origins quotas across the board.

"The primary justifications for these early immigration laws were xenophobia, eugenics, and overt racism.

"By the 1990s, however, multinational corporations understood that closed borders – especially combined with free trade agreements freeing multinational companies to shop around for 'cheap' workers, while at the same time constraining the options of workers to move around and look for better jobs – were a powerful weapon in their arsenal to squeeze ever more profit out of global supply chains."

Answer this: Why is capital free to cross borders and labor is not?

How many Republicans supported NAFTA?

America had open borders until 1924. Racism and corporate greed changed that | Daniel Mendiola

"While no US labor unions or other human rights representatives had a seat at the table, the US advisory committee for trade and negotiations – composed almost entirely of representatives of multinational corporations – led the negotiations, ensuring that the agreement followed corporate interests.

"The drafters wanted easier access to cheaper Mexican labor, but they understood that if Mexicans had the same rights as companies to cross borders in search of better opportunities, then the 'invisible hand' of supply and demand might make this labor less cheap."

So when ICE sweeps a Home Depot parking lot, which law enforcement data base tells the agents which of the brown-skinned workers in that lot are legal US citizens and which are not?

I hate to break it to you, but any study that relies on a "simple model" for its foundation, is less than worthless.

These were activist judges who were twisting the law in order to allow as many illegals as possible to remain in the US. The judges, all nearing the completion of their two-year probationary terms, were notified that the decision was made under constitutional authority: “Pursuant to Article II of the Constitution, the Attorney General has decided not to extend your term or convert it to a permanent appointment.”

Bondi fires people for following the law, not because they're activist. That's why she fired the DOJ's top ethics watchdog a few days ago.

This is clearly an attempt to gum up the administrative system that processes immigration cases. They want to grab, deport to some rando African country, and everyone can ask questions later. And if it's determined they were deported wrongfully...Oops! So-rry! We can't find them now.

This is the most lawless administration in history.

Don't care. They're criminals who broke the law by illegally entering to country, so get them out of here.

Who needs immigration judges when you have concentration camps?

More intellectual dishonesty on your part is always appreciated - NOT!

 

[multivita-man]

Many of them are; however, many are entitled to asylum and other hearings. They're entitled to due process. Once you violate due process for some, you open up the possibility that it can be violated for others. It's just that nobody cares until it happens to them - then it's a problem.

Who has any such entitlement? Asylum is attached to specific circumstances and the US has no obligation to any entitlement demsnded by you or anyone else.

This is the problem with the left, they believe the US must extend entitlements to violent illegals.

In order to determine eligibility for asylum, you need administrative capacity, which is now being conveniently removed.

This is the problem with the left, they believe the US must extend entitlements to violent illegals.

Not at all. There's almost universal agreement that violent detainees should be expelled from the country. Most of the people ICE has detained recently are people without violent criminal history. Most don't even have a criminal history beyond illegal entry. Some are overstayers, which probably isn't even criminal - it's administrative.

Trump administration fires 17 immigration court judges across ten states, union says

The union said the judges were working in courts in 10 different states across the country — California, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Texas, Utah and Virginia.

18 immigration judges (all of whom report to the Attorney General) have been fired

The amazing fact is that each immigration judge only hears 2 cases a day.

Trump DOJ fires immigration court judges across US amid deportation push, union says

The union said judges hear between 500 and 700 cases annually, and the firings will only add to the country's backlog of over 3.5 million cases.

So if you have 12 million illegals, you're going to need 20,000 judges.

Yeah it's pretty obvious that the immigration judiciary was set up to stop deportation not to effect it. An entirely different system is required here. Once you have evidence of illegality it should be a streamlined process. Is it going to scoop up innocent people along with guilty ones? Yeah probably.
Every law enforcement action does.
