AP Poll Says 'Deport 'em'

[zork]

They are being assigned a hearing and 50%+, being very generous, aren't showing up to their hearings? Why is that Paso?

They should fingerprint each one and those not showing up should be permanently disqualified from ever being a green card recipient or citizen. Or, something much more workable is to have a hearing the next business day while holding each in custody till the hearing.

Three weeks, give or take a day, is too long to wait because they largely aren't showing up.

Do you have a link for this?

I included enough to give the reason for the confusion on why the rate of no show is being reported with such disparity. 46% is pretty damning, even 30%, is too much to make the current length of time, in my opinion, stand with release of the individuals in question being released.

Of course, unfortunately, that means more translators, judges, and lawyers will need to be hired till the word gets out that you can't play the system.

Rule of law is mainly what I am concerned with since mutability of the law creates lawlessness in other areas. Or at least that was what my Prof at UT told me in undergrad. The Link

Oh well, that was a long time ago.

Why did Mexico not take them in and then give them asylum hearings and ascertain whether they could be in Mexico legally? Why did Mexico simply facilitate their travel 2000 miles across their country to be dumped here in the US? Please explain that someone.

wouldn't you guess that if the illegals were given a choice between staying in Mexico or going back to their homes they'd run for the southern border and back to their homes as quickly as they can?

But your question is a good one .Mexico doesn't want them and they don't want Mexico But if we start turning the illegals back into Mexico I bet the flow would stop dead..

Mexico knows that these transients have no intention of staying in Mexico. In a world of finite resources they've apparently chosen not to invest in protecting their Southern border and making this their problem. They know by letting them pass through Mexico it becomes a US problem. I'm sure there is backchannel pressure on Mexico to halt them at their border but it doesn't appear to be effective.

I'd disagree that these individuals would head home if they can't get into the US. I'd lay money they'd settle in Mexico which with all its problems is still an upgrade on countries like El Salvador.

Exactly,

Mexico is simply facilitating illegal immigration through their country, but we are expected to foot the bill. There is no way all these "kids" are getting across Mexico without Mexico's knowlege and blessing.

Again,

Why the F are we spending trillions of dollars and sacrificing untold numbers of lives fighting wars in the Middle East, and then we blatantly turn our heads and let people stroll right on into this country and say its all about "the children."

Every president weve had has looked the other way, given lip service, and allowed for this to happen. All there is is talk. Can the US technically take in 50,000 illegals a year? Right now, perhaps. But where does it stop? Where is the line, Paso? Is it indefinite? Does anyone really have any real reason to believe that the border will not perpetually into eternity be a sieve that will facilitate thousands of illegals crossing here monthly till the end of time?

Its always about the children, but these arent all little kids. Where is the accountability for Mexico? There is none. And no one wants there to be.

Anyone who signs up for the military in this day and age needs to be shaken violently and asked why they believe that their government has anything noble or good for them to do besides fight and die for some offshore banker or political war hawk who stands to profit over their death.

This isnt about the kids. That is simply an excuse. Nothing will change, the idiots will vote for Hillary in 2016 because shes a woman, and other idiots will vote for whatever dumbass the Republicans trot out because he will be a middle aged white man that goes to church, combs his hair nice, and acts "tough."

The sad thing is, there really isnt anywhere on Earth one can go anymore and be safe. We are on a sinking ship, its just a matter of time.
