I appreciate your argument and certainly when warranted, a hearing should always be the case. I also appreciate that a Title 8 or other hearing for all 20+ million migrants who shouldn't be here is simply not feasible. And there should always be a way to send someone here who cannot prove citizenship or who does not possess the proper VISA or other credentials that gives them permission to be here back to wherever they came from by virtue of the fact they broke the law coming here in the first place.
Our immigration laws should be amended to:
--only those from countries designated by our government should be able to get immediate asylum. That's the way it used to be at least as recently as the 1980s.
--No more jus solis citizenship. Children are automatically citizens only when they born to at least one citizen parent. Considering original intent in the Constitution, we should not need a constitutional amendment to do that.
--No more immigration via lottery. Those received as new immigrant to the USA should meet certain standards that gives them an excellent chance to succeed here and be contributors to the USA instead of a drain on its resources. And those admitted as immigrants should be able to support themselves from day one or have private sponsors who will provide them with essential needs until they can provide for themselves. Nobody should come to the USA expecting the government to support them.
--No more chain migration. A husband, wife and their minor children can be admitted as new immigrants if they meet the immigration standards required. But their adult children, parents, aunts, uncles, cousin, etc. will have to apply and be admitted on their own merits.
These I know are all concepts supported by President Trump and at least the vast majority of his team. They should be supported by all Americans.

And finding them all isn't either, nor is keeping them here to unduly influence our elections. However, if you want to maximize the amount of deportations, the process needs to be streamlined.
Someone should propose a way of trying these immigrants en masse. I mean, this could potentially be an area where DOGE could step in.
Ultimately, it requires Congress to come up with a better way of deporting any illegal immigrants, upwards of 1 million or more.

Bingo. Jus Sanguinis is the appropriate method here. I'm glad someone picked up on that.
As for your entire post, I agree with the majority of it.
The Ark decision has been intentionally misinterpreted in my view. However, as a country of laws, we need to ensure due process to anyone within our borders.

Disclaimer. I honestly don't know whether this is actually President Trump's proposal/suggestion--that would be proposal/suggestion and not MANDATE for the TDS afflicted who are incapable of reading comprehension, critical thinking or intellectual honesty--but it does look like something he could propose. Several people on social media have posted it so I'll put it in the mix as a pretty good proposal regardless of its source.
"I wonder how loud it’ll get if Trump could pull this off?
President Trump is asking everyone to share this, in three days, most people in the United States will have seen the message. This is an idea that should be passed around, regardless of political party.
The TRUMP Rules: Congressional Reform Act of 2017 (now 2025)
1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. And no more perks go with them.
2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress must purchase their own retirement plan, just as ALL Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people (i.e. NO MORE INSIDER TRADING!!!).
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts by and for themselves.
Serving in Congress is an honor and privilege, NOT a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work … not get all kinds of freebies."

Victor Davis Hansen summarizes some of what he describes as miracles that Trump has pulled off in his first 100 days:
“He has completely reversed 10,000 people coming in a day, over 300,000 a month, 12,000,000 in 4 years to essentially 97. 98% of the border is secure,” Hanson said.
“In fact, there is no open border now"
****************************
". . .He has revolutionized energy. There is no New Green Deal. There’s no electric vehicle mandate. We’re not going to be funding more boondoggles of high-speed rail. We’re going to burn clean coal, restore the Appalachian coal fields, those in the West as well. We’re leasing out new oil fields. We’re trying to get liquid national gas shipped to Europe, that’s in dire need of it. We’re continuing fracking.
We’re producing so much energy that the price of oil has gone—at one point in the Biden administration, it was $120 a barrel. It’s down to almost $60. And by the way, he’s not draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. And he won’t do that before a midterm. If anything, he will begin filling it again pretty soon. . ."
********************************
". . .On the diversity, equity, and inclusion front, he didn’t have to get into DEI. That’s the third rail. He just said it’s over with because it violates the recent Supreme Court ruling that found that Harvard and the University of North Carolina were culpable for racist practices against Asian-American applicants.
The law is on Donald Trump’s side. The court decisions are on Donald Trump’s side. And now DEI is being purged from government auspices and private corporations. . ."
************************************
". . .And then suddenly everybody said he wiped out the stock market because he insisted on not just free trade but fair trade. And he said he was going to sanction China. And he did. Now all of a sudden we have 70 countries trying to negotiate. And as I’m speaking, nations such as Italy or Japan want to make a deal. What is a deal? A deal is they’re not going to run up surpluses at the same extent.
We have a $1.1 trillion trade deficit. Donald Trump is going to get in the next few weeks a few major nations, and once he does—to make a deal—all the others will not want to be without a chair when the music stops. They will want to follow. When they follow, China will be eager to negotiate because its efforts to get Europe on its side have failed. . ."
Foxfyre's personal comment: The market has been recovering and on a steady upward trend for a week now and honest economists are confident that once those trade deals begin to be finalized, the market will come roaring back stronger than ever.
****************************************
". . .If you look very quickly abroad, Donald Trump is still trying to find peace. And no, he’s not Russian President Vladimir Putin’s puppet. He’s been very tough on Putin. He suggests he would have a secondary oil boycott on nations that bought Russian oil, something Biden never imagined. But he is getting frustrated by both sides. And he’s putting renewed pressure.
In the Middle East, Iran is at its weakest point. Israel’s ready to take out the nuclear facilities, to the extent it cannot without sophisticated, heavy bombers. And Donald Trump is not looking for an optional war. He’s telling the Iranians, “Time is running out. Settle. Dismantle your nuclear facilities or else.”
The Red Sea is open for navigation. The Houthis are in retreat. There is nobody in the United States who wants to negotiate with Hamas or Hezbollah. It’s an entirely new game. . ."
**************************************
". . .So what am I getting at? Forget what the media says. Forget what his opponent said. Forget Kilmar Abrego Garcia, forget Luigi Mangione, all of these distractions. The first 100 days have been revolutionary. We’ve never seen anything like it, not during the Reagan administration, not during FDR, in terms of the magnitude of the changes. And that is why people are furious. . ."

And quietly and without fanfare, the Trump Administration that is the ONLY administration we've had in a very long time dedicated to world peace has negotiated peace between Pakistan and India. Will the mainstream media give him credit for that? Probably not. But I wanted it recorded here.
No they won't.. anything that Trump does they're against....that's the Democrats platform

And that's why I keep beating the drum that we who share the MAGA vision of a strong, free, secure, prosperous America that promotes cooperation and world peace must step up and be far more proactive in getting that message out there to counter the 98% negative propaganda being put out by the Democrats and their surrogate media.
If we do not, the sheer weight of their propaganda could sink us in the midterms and 2028.

Today's talking point dutifully repeated word for word with identical headlines by all the leftwing propaganda media is that Trump isn't attending all the intelligence briefings. Well, I'm sure he isn't as he is working from dawn into the late night every day pretty much seven days a week. But he receives a daily written intelligence report and has strictly restricted access to who can see that report to avoid the unfortunate 'leaks' that plagued his first term in office.
I am confident he has people who advise him immediately if there is anything in those face to face briefings or in the written report that he needs to know immediately.
The media isn't talking at all about how many intelligence briefings Biden attended during his four years.

So according to texts I received this morning:
The left is suing President Trump for:
--Eliminating the obvious fraud at USAID
--Firing dishonest, unaccountable bureaucrats
--Taking dead people off the Social Security rolls
And I would bet at least a very good hamburger and fries that every leftist here at USMB will support those lawsuits.

If Trump is normal, I'd be perfectly comfy being considered abnormal. If Trump is normal, I'd be perfectly comfy being considered immoral. It's the alternate universe. So it fits.
He is a immoral child with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. He fits the definition perfectly. I don't want to be like him, nor do I want anyone remotely like him around me.
Of TDS is ravaging their little pea brains
Notice that you people with the TDS psychosis , didn't say policies only that you hate Trump personally.... The mainstream media loves you weak-minded fools you're so easy

Unless you can point to anything he does as President as being 'immoral' and can hold yourself up as a model of personal virtue, you don't have much argument here.
Leave the judgment of a person's personal sins to God who knows the truth of all that and you and I do not. Judge a President on what you know for certain he actually does as President..That is the only honorable approach to take.
