Those 11,000,000 — 23,000,000 illegals Biden let into the country? They're here to stay
/
Have you ever been infuriated by reading a story about thugs barging into someone else’s house and refusing to leave, while the rightful owner is told he must pursue a years-long eviction process through the courts because these people have established “squatters rights?” That’s what happened Friday, on a national scale.
I’d seen a few cautiously optimistic reactions to the Supreme Court’s 7-2 decision requiring individual “due process hearings” for each person who came across the border these past 4 years, with or without official permission, but “Legal Insurrection’s Professor William Jacobson shares my own dire view: we’re screwed.
The deep damage from the Biden administration’s treasonous open borders policy, which deliberately imported millions of illegal aliens, including large numbers of criminals and gang members, is playing out as the Trump administration tries to undo the damage and danger.
The numbers are so large that they overwhelm the system. Trump tried to address the problem as to a particularly vicious gang, Tren de Aragua (TdA), by invoking the Alien Enemies Act (AEA), which allows summary removal. That effort has been stymied by multiple courts, incuding the Supreme Court, ruling that persons subject to removal under the AEA are entitled to due process before removal. Depending what the due process looks like may render deportation efforts futile – you can’t have millions of trials, even if they are truncated proceedings.
Is the Constitution a suicide pact? We’re in the process of finding out.
…. The bottom line is the Supreme Court put everything on hold, and told the 5th Circuit to figure out what type of due process the TdA members should get. Removal of TdA members through other statutory authority, other than AEA, could continue:
Jacobson: “So it continues. Millions flow in illegally, but only a relative trickle can flow out. This is an untenable situation.
(FWIW) The decision goes far beyond whether these people can be removed using a novel method of applying the Aliens and Sedition Act — as the court notes “[T] he Government may remove the named plaintiffs or putative class members under other lawful authorities” but those are meaningless words when coupled with the requirement that government conduct individual hearings for each and every one of them.
The backlog for these hearings is currently 6-10 years, and that’s for those who have legally applied for entry, many of whom are still in their home countries waiting for admission. Biden’s millions are here now, and having made it across the border by whatever means, can only be removed on a case-by-case basis. That’s impossible, as was always the plan, so, while we might see a few of the very worst of the child rapists and drug dealers kicked out, the vast, vast majority of these people are now permanent residents, and their spawn will be citizens.
Welcome to your new world.
