B-Man Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) 15 hours ago, Hedge said: This is legal immigration, so a bit off topic from the thread premise. The president made the announcement to stop bringing in new people because the U.S. and world economies are cratering. And a historic number of people are now without jobs because of the virus. Trump is going all-in with the American people on this announcement. Well, this is one way that President Trump will get Nancy Pelosi back to Washington, D.C. We'll bet that somehow the Left will label this as racist. Let them try. . Edited April 21, 2020 by B-Man 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Buried deep in the underbelly of a USA Today story from April 13 is a stunning statistic. “About 8 in 10 support drastic steps on immigration: imposing mandatory quarantines for people who have traveled to any other country and temporarily stopping immigration from all other countries,” according to a poll by Ipsos and USA Today. https://nationalfile.com/usa-today-poll-80-of-americans-support-total-immigration-halt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Divided Supreme Court rules for Trump administration in requiring immigrant's removal The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a lower court's decision that an immigrant with lawful permanent resident status cannot fight deportation due to a previous offense, even though that crime was not grounds for his removal. In a 5-4 ruling with conservative justices on one side and liberals on the other, the court ruled for the Trump administration in holding that the statute in question, as drafted by Congress, requires deportation in the case of Andre Barton, even though the assault offenses that prevent him from appealing were not enough to deport him in the first place. </snip> 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Congress also made a choice to categorically preclude cancellation of removal for noncitizens who have substantial criminal records. Congress may of course amend the law at any time. In the meantime, the Court is constrained to apply the law as enacted by Congress. Huh, how about that. Courts that actually uphold the laws as passed by the political branches, instead of rewriting the laws to suit their whims, like Sotomayor was arguing for in her dissent. Quote The particular dispute between the two sides of the court dealt with the language of the statute, which says a defendant cannot have their deportation canceled if they had committed "an offense referred to in section 1182(a)(2) of this title that renders the alien inadmissible to the United States under section 1182(a)(2) of this title or removable from the United States under section 1227(a)(2) or 1227(a)(4) of this title." The conservative majority took this to mean that Congress was including both offenses that would render someone inadmissible as well as those that would make them removable, meaning that because aggravated assault would leave a person inadmissible, it triggers the provision keeping Barton from having his deportation canceled. ... Justice Sonia Sotomayor's dissent, on the other hand, argued that Congress was referring to two separate types of situations... Uh, the statutory language in that blurb is pretty clear. If you commit a prior offense that makes you inadmissible or you commit a prior offense that makes you deportable, AND you commit a later offense that triggers deportation proceedings, then you can't appeal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Mexico is sending 'em back too: On Sunday, Mexico's National Institute of Migration (INM) announced the repatriation of 3,653 Central American migrants. The measure comes after growing concern over Covid-19 spreading in INM detention facilities throughout Mexico. Mexico recently has faced issues attempting to deport Central American citizens back to their home countries. Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador closed their borders to citizens and aliens. The INM said: "In the face of the health emergency caused by Covid-19, the Ministry of the Interior, the National Institute of Migration (INM), acts responsibly and safeguards the integrity of the population in the context of migration by seeking to fully guarantee their human rights." Guatemalan nationals were sent back by bus and Honduran and Salvadoran migrants were transported by aircraft to their countries of origin. The International Organization for Migrants administered the flight arrangements to Central America. In March, the INM had 3,579 foreign nationals housed throughout its 65 detention facilities and shelters. As of Sunday, the number had decreased to 106 migrants — a 97 percent reduction in the detained migrant population. </snip> 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is in addition to rebuilding the old wall. (me) There are 1,954 miles of border, 580 miles of existing wall (in 2016), adding 500 more miles would be 1080 miles. This 2019 article is very anti-Trump, but it lists the natural barriers and the areas that would be covered by troops instead of walls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Gonna end up in front of the SC.Appeals court OKs Trump plan to end protected immigration status for 4 countries In 2-1 ruling, 9th Circuit says evidence lacking that Trump’s ‘offensive and disparaging’ comments about immigrants impacted decisions A federal appeals court has effectively green-lighted the Trump administration’s plan to expel more than 300,000 undocumented immigrants from El Salvador, Nicaragua and Sudan from the U.S. by ending the “temporary protected status” they have enjoyed for as long as two decades. A 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled, 2-1, Monday that a federal judge in San Francisco erred in 2018 when he blocked the administration’s move to terminate the deportation protections granted to nationals of four countries because of natural disasters, wars or other upheavals in their homelands. </snip> 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
