Due process and Bill Clinton?

[Delldude]

Due process and illegals deportation. Saw an episode on Levin where he discussed this and didn't realize due process isn't a one size fits all issue, many different applications. Received a blurb on a socialist media platform about Bill Clinton modifying the 1996 INA to expedited deportations with little or no judicial action, so I did some research and the blurb wasn't BS. In fact you've seen several instances where Trump has used these actions presently. From what I read, it doesn't look like its been amended.

Here's an AI summary:

AI Overview


In 1996, President Bill Clinton signed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA), which significantly expanded the grounds for deportation and introduced a process for expedited removal without judicial hearings. This law made it easier to deport non-citizens, especially those convicted of certain crimes, and allowed for summary screening and removal without judicial oversight in certain cases.


Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Expanded Grounds for Deportation:
  IIRIRA broadened the definition of "aggravated felonies," making more crimes grounds for deportation, including those committed by legal residents.
• Expedited Removal:
  The law introduced expedited removal proceedings, allowing for the deportation of certain individuals without a full hearing before an immigration judge.
• 
  
• Summary Screening:
  It enabled an INS officer to unilaterally decide that an alien is inadmissible and can be removed without judicial review, particularly for those arriving at ports of entry or those unable to prove continuous presence in the US for the previous two years.
• 
  
• Restrictions on Judicial Review:
  While judicial review was available in some cases, the law significantly restricted the power of judges to grant waivers or exercise discretion that could have shielded individuals from deportation.
• Mandatory Detention:
  IIRIRA also mandated detention for certain categories of immigrants awaiting deportation, making it more difficult for them to access legal representation and potentially increasing the likelihood of deportation.

Impact and Controversy:

• Increased Deportations:
  The IIRIRA led to a substantial increase in the number of deportations, with the U.S. becoming known as a "deportation nation".

• Criticism:
  The law has been criticized for being overly punitive, eliminating due process in many removal cases, and limiting equitable relief from deportation.
• "Fix '96" Movement:
  Following the enactment of IIRIRA, activists launched a movement known as "Fix '96" to restore rights stripped from non-citizens and address the harsh elements of the law.

The immigration reform Hillary Clinton wants could be limited — or even undermined — by a law her husband signed.

Americans don't care about due process. Hell, most of them don't know what it means. We have the government we deserve.

That's why Schumer is bringing up constitutional crisis BS.

The Constitution was rendered null and void decades ago. Elected officials taking an oath of office is pure theatrics.

The point is Schumer tossing horsecrap on the ill informed masses who will run with it.

But if Trump does it we need judges sweeping orders to stop it.

The Trump Administration has already admitted that due process is for anyone on US soil, no matter what...
