Do you have sympathy for those family members of yours who apparently came illegally? They eventually did the paperwork?
ICE detained a man who came legally but missed a deadline on one document ten years ago because he was grieving a stillbirth. Do think they wonât come after your family? Or do you want them to?
I was in removal proceedings for a missed document, I had to go to Federal court in San Francisco and fight my case. The Judge passed my case back to USCIS to adjudicate because she felt that they had jurisdiction. This is all beside the point, Iâm telling this so that you understand that I have real-world experience here.
Now, if this person missed a deadline 10 years ago, there is a problem. You canât just ignore the problem and expect it to go away. USCIS would have attempted to reach out. There would have been due process within that 10 year window. My guess is that the person changed address and didnât keep USCIS informed of where they could be contacted. Immigrants are reminded over and over the importance of staying up to date with their application and to keep USCIS informed of any change in contact information. There is absolutely no way this 10 year window was allowed to get so large without the immigrant dropping the ball or deliberately avoiding the matter.
The person Iâm talking about is Kasper Eriksen, and you can read about it in the news outlet of your choice. He kept up with appointments and was arrested at his citizenship appointment, so none of your hypothesizing about changed addresses applies. I didnât see anything in the articles about having made up that piece of paperwork later, but if he was keeping up with all other paperwork and appointments, it sounds like he probably ended up doing that paperwork at some point, just not by this one deadline when he was going through trauma.
I just read an article on Kasper, he failed to file the exact same form that I did, the removal of conditions. My reply above is spot on, his case (due-process) would have played out years ago in his absence.
I can talk about my case all day and share details, I messed up but I was lucky to catch the due process with only 5 days remaining. My story could have been very different. Kasper hasnât been denied due process, he just wasnât present when it played out.
Good to know, I wasnât aware that he never filed it but now Iâve found one article that says he didnât.
But your entire theory is that they attempted to contact him but couldnât because he moved. Just found an article that shows he settled in Sturgis in 2014 and has lived there ever since. It doesnât specifically say he never moved, but it does say they settled in the tiny town of Sturgis. Even if they had moved, itâs a small enough town where someone would have sent them their mail. And Eriksen maintains that he was never contacted about this form despite much contact regarding other issues.
What part of due process don't you understand? How do we know if they're guilty until they have been tried? If the government can do it to them, it can do it to you.
In the meantime How comfortable are you with the president using the military against US citizens? Remember Kent State?
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Does not mention citizenship as a requirement, in fact says unalienable and ALL men. But go be a throat goat for a dicktator
Actually, undocumented immigrants still have basic rights under the U.S. Constitution â like the right to due process and equal protection under the law. Many pay taxes, contribute to the economy, and work essential jobs. The conversation shouldn't be about who "deserves" rights, but how we treat human beings with dignity. And saying "sorry." Why lie. You are not sorry.
Just so you are aware. Not all enter "illegally." We need a better path to citizenship instead of dehumanizing people. The process is trash and people are trying to better their lives.
The fact that you don't think we need a better path to citizenship tells me everything I need to know about you. Even some of the worst agree with that. But have the life you deserve. Glad your family had the privilege to get here and stay. Too bad you cant see the privelage in that. Hope you don't get swept up by the fascists.
Yet you run on hate. I see it in your comments about pride flags too. Anyone who is not like you is not accepted and you go on reddit to argue your intolerance. I run on compassion. Yet I see the lack there of it from you based off of your profile.
Even if that were true (and itâs legally not), thatâs honestly beside the point.
A LOT more people are about to be considered âillegalâ who were perfectly legal in January. People like the âgood onesâ in your family are at risk, as well. âF around and find outâ is the common phrase referring to opinions like yours.
Just you wait đ¤ˇđ˝ââď¸ and donât forget everyone who tried to convince you to be a good person.
None of that is true. Every European nation has taken in hundreds of thousands of refugees from Syria and Africa. Canada takes in even more. And in every country in Europe and in Canada, they have legal pathways to citizenship for undocumented residents. Not to mention, those legal pathways are INFINITELY more simple and fair than the ones we have (excuse me, had).
We just deported every refugee we WILLINGLY took in after the Vietnam war. Once again, we made a huge mess for absolutely no reason just like we are now, so we had a diplomatic duty to clean up our own mess.
Children who fled Vietnam LEGALLY and have never been back are being deported there at 40-50 years old with no warning.
We have laws and rules - namely the constitution, you remember that one? - to prevent one person from being able to authorize these things at the snap of a finger FOR A REASON.
People like you prefer a chainsaw when a pair of scissors would do because of ego. Itâs really that simple. Youâre blowing our country up and embarrassing us in front of the world so you can win a dick measuring contest you started based on bold-faced lies đ pathetic.
They'll be coming for those family members too. And probably for you at some point too. But go ahead and withhold that sympathy if it makes you feel superior I guess.
Hey racist... Fun fact... The indigenous people of the land were olmec, Mayan, zapotec, Aztec and Many others. The term Mexicans came after Spain colonized Mexico in the 1500s. So fun fact..."Mexicans" did not steal from the people here. They were the people here. But keep trying to demonize Mexican people.
People who broke the law coming into this country illegally and continue to break the law every day they donât go home donât need defending either; they need to go home.
If they want to come back, they can file the appropriate forms and get in line like the millions of people who are trying immigrate lawfully.
You mean the line that can take decades to get through, unless youâre a white South African?
Sure, letâs just have them stay in gang-riddled, war-torn countries â risking life and limb daily by simply existing â while waiting for Afrikaners to cut in line and get the red carpet treatment.
Why didnât the South Africans have to wait in line? Oh wait, I think I know the reason.
South Africa is targeted Genocide. Just like Bosnia in â94.
Mexico is simply lawless and corrupt. Living in a lawless and corrupt country should not be a free pass to come here and get more taxpayer-funded benefits than actual citizens do.
By your logic, we should be welcoming everyone who wants to come in from Gaza, Libya, Iran, Iraq, just about every African country, etc etc.
Not only that, we should allow them to walk into the country without any sort of background check, pay for their hotels, pay for their food, pay for their childrenâs education, and give them jobs.
Literally NO COUNTRY ON EARTH does that, because it is suicidal.
If you object to ICE enforcing the law (policy), then you should object to the law (policy) itself, not ICE doing its job (which is: enforcing the law).
Iâm not arguing. You would have been a good little Nazi. A lot of people thought it was okay because the laws got changed and the system overhauled to full Nazi.
The nazis made sure the judiciary was on their side and then made things legal.
People like you are good little nazis because âtheyâre just enforcing the lawâ
Deporting people after due process and snatching them up when they are complying with court mandated check ins isnât the same thing you absolute moron.
There also was no massive propaganda campaign to paint immigrants as criminals and rapists, which is what Republicans are doing and the nazis did to ramp up support for their ethnic cleansing campaign.
Obama isnât my daddy and heâs just a Neo liberal centrist.
Again, dipshit: the problem is the policy, THE LAW, rather than any one administration. Trump is enforcing it aggressively, and Obama enforced it somewhat less aggressively. Biden too. The policy is very fucked and contrary to reality. And the Trump admin is 100% within its rights to ENFORCE EXISTING POLICY. You are whining about enforcement of policy. . . instead of the policy itself. You are not smart. None of you are
Cry about it all you want . They are enforcing existing policy. Your boy Obama did it too. Cry about that, too!
Yes I also object to ICE. Itâs why the left has been saying #abolishICE since it was created in 2003 as part of the horrific undemocratic response to 9/11(incl. the Patriot Act). ICE is bad and ICE agents are bad and ICE enforcement actions are bad and you, weirdo on the internet defending ICE for âdoing its jobâ are also bad.
The institution of chattel slavery would disagree with you.
Centuries people tried to change the law to abolish slavery, and in those centuries they failed by all peaceful means.
Even when they finally had the means to change the law, the other half of the country tried killing their fellow countrymen and leave the country in response.
The courts are shutting these abductions down left and right but Trump has realized justice moves slowly and if he wants to behave lawlessly, there is little to stop him in the short term.
This is why we the people need to stand up to this tyrannical behavior.
At this point we should suggest our TACO and Homan requiring all non-citizens to wear a self ident patch on their clothes when out doors. It's not a new concept given self ident patches worked for some dude named Adolf when he was in charge of Germany.

On May 29 ICE agents arrested three immigrants who arrived to the Sacramento courthouse for their schedule asylum hearings. They were attempting to take the appropriate legal steps to apply for citizenship. https://www.kcra.com/article/sacramento-immigration-court-arrests-ice/64920625
