I love how he will be building this 'big beautiful wall' without considering that the hundreds of billions of dollars needed would have to be approved. It won't.
hundreds of billions?..are you sure? You (and obama) appear to just say any number that comes into your head.
Reminds me of the joke..obama was informed that 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed in a battle.
.He said "That's awful!...How many IS a brazillion, anyway"?
anyway...you got these numbers all worked out? Post the itemized costs and let's go over them?
The benefit of having 30 million illegals OUT of the country would begin to offset ANY costs immediately and would continue in perpetuity.
Experts: Trump's Plans for Border Wall, Illegals Will Cost Billions
Experts cast doubt on Donald Trump's immigration plans - CNNPolitics.com
LOL, but you are willing to swallow the concept of Trump getting a "big beautiful wall" built, however, when pressed for any details, he starts up with his snake oil salesmanship pitch- "don't worry, it's all about management" . From what I have read, a lot of the land that wall would be built on is privately owned "tribal" land. Good luck kemosabi.
As is pointed out in the CNN article, I think the biggest snag in Trump's plan is how to handle the millions that don't want to go back and still provide due process. If he tries to deport without due process, the federal courts will be all over him like flies on shit.
I think few people including Trump understand the deportation process which is buried in immigration laws. This means if he's going to short cut the deportation process, congress will have to change immigration laws and even if the laws are changed, it will still be a long process because many of the people being deporting will be responsible members of the community with jobs and the money to hire lawyers. This is a far different situation than current deportations. Most of deportations over last 10 years have been convicted felons and those that agree to deportation. Nearly half of these cases had no legal representation. This would certain not be the case under Trump's plan.
Agree---there are immigration lawyers everywhere. Many would snag up the courts and fight deportation, especially the ones that have settled in this country, have homes, jobs and incomes. They're here to stay.
Then the obvious question is: How do you "find" 11 million illegals. You can't search every house, nook and cranny. Illegal searches in this country are still ILLEGAL.
This is why Trump's plan is B.S.
Immigration law is one the most complex specialties for a lawyer, thanks to the convoluted immigration laws we have. Most real immigration lawyers work for drug peddlers, the cartels, and high paid professional with expired visas.. Their fees are so high few undocumented immigrants can afford them.
Immigration courts are civil courts. Unlike criminal courts the government is not required to provide the defendant a lawyer if he can not afford one. When you receive a deportation notice, you also receive a list of lawyers that will take a case without a fee. However, whether you are lucky enough to get a lawyer or not, your date before the judge does not change. Thus almost half of the defendants in immigration courts have to plead their case with no legal representation and little or no knowledge of immigration law against a prosecutor whose specialty is immigration law and whose job is to deport you. This is why most defendants chose voluntary deportation.
For those defends that can afford a real immigration lawyer, the deportation is delayed or set aside in 52% of the cases. For those without legal representation, the percentage is 8%.
To say immigration court is a mockery of justice is an understatement. There have been instances of children as young as 6 years old brought before a judge with no representation other than a social worker.
For established undocumented immigrants with jobs and ties to the community and a lawyer, a deportation notice can be a whole different ball game. Under existing law, a deportation can be delay for months and sometimes years.
