Speed Over Fairness: Deportation Under the Obama Administration

[M14 Shooter]

Just gonna leave this here.
The left's double standard speaks for itself.
Trump should change policies to match that of the Obama administration, and make it known, at every turn, he's done so.

Speed Over Fairness: Deportation Under the Obama Administration | ACLU

www.aclu.org

The Obama administration has prioritized speed over fairness in the removal system, sacrificing individualized due process in the pursuit of record removal numbers.

The numbers are staggering: in 1995, 1,400 immigrants were subject to nonjudicial removals, representing 3 percent of total deportations. By FY 2012 that number had sharply increased to 313,000 nonjudicial removals – an all-time high.

Under today's removal system, only one quarter of all people facing expulsion get to present their case before an immigration judge. These judges, employed by the Justice Department, are experts in immigration law. They conduct formal court hearings where they hear live witnesses, review documentary evidence, and evaluate applications for immigration relief.

By contrast, nonjudicial removals are fast-track proceedings wholly controlled by the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS"), sometimes involving only a single border agent who acts as both judge and jury. Those facing nonjudicial removal have no lawyer and no chance to appeal.

Wow.
ZERO response from the left.
Anyone wonder why?
Lesh what about you, sweetie? Didn't you praise Obama for his immigration policies, procedures, and their effects?

And, FYI...

ICE describes "border removals" as people deported after being "apprehended along our borders while attempting to unlawfully enter the US." But the difference between a border removal and an interior removal is not as clear-cut as the administration lets on, and there are signs that many "border removals" involve people who aren't actually crossing the border but just happen to live nearby, or were passing near it when apprehended. Indeed, it appears that in order to be counted as a "border removal" by ICE, it suffices only that a non-citizen be arrested by a Customs and Border Protection officer at a border crossing or by the Border Patrol within 100 miles of a land or sea border.

Obama's red line on 'good deportations' is inhumane – and he has crossed it

There was no due process required for illegals when Obama was President.

It's DIFFERENT when the demented LEFT do it, don't you know.

The hypocrisy and HUBRIS of the demented LEFT is SICKENING.

Can you point us to where Obama picked up people off the street and sent them to a prison in El Salvador, without due process???

Can you show us where Obama locked up 40,000 immigrants and kept them in filthy, abusive conditions for years with no due process?????

What we CAN show you is that Obama sued hundreds of companies hiring undocumented immigrants and got over 450 orders against employers of undocumented workers. Trump got exactly ONE order the first time he was in office.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION GOES DOWN WHEN EMPLOYERS ARE PROSECUTED, AND UP WHEN REPUBILCANS ARE IN OFFICE BECAUSE THEY DON'T PROSECUTE EMPLOYERS, BECAUSE TRUMP IS ONE.

I was disappointed when Obama did it, and I am disappointed Trump is doing it. All of these EO's will go "back and forth".
Neither party is interested in a long-term solution.

Getting this scum out of the country is the long term solution.

However, democrats can't be trusted with a long term solution. They refuse to close the border. They want immigration reform without closing the border. Everyone crossing the border illegally is called an "asylum seeker".

Democrats see these people as future Democrat voters.
Full stop.

The long term solution would be going after employers who hire illegals but no one actually interested in solving this.

But what Trump is doing is nowhere near what Obama did.

Obama actually focused on deporting criminal aliens.
And yes he deported many illegals at the border with only cursory “trials”.

Trump is doing that to ALL of them and NOT focusing on deporting criminals

Irrelevant to the fact you believe Trump does not need to bring every potential deportee before a judge to remove him from the US, contrary to the whining and crying from the left.

Funny how you do not understand you contradict yourself here.

It is absolutely relevant.

You’d love that it weren’t but too ******* bad
