I say this out of love and with the utmost respect for you: that doesn’t make any sense. The do have due process. They aren’t not just grabbing random people and throwing them into exile. They have to detain them, there is no “asking nicely” And an extenuating circumstance as to why they are here illegally, what? Enforcing the law cannot be “scandalous” that stretches the term beyond the point of breaking. Is it uncomfortable and unfortunate, yes, and much more. But these are the lines of civilization, and it’s just the messy part of our finitude. If you want to say you don’t like how they are doing this or that, how it looks or makes people feel, that’s just rhetorical signalling, and has nothing to do with the principles in play. It’s better to have the men in positions of authority exercise their power in an attempt to preserve the lines and rule of law than to abondon the hope of civilized society altogether. They are the ones in the arena, and I don’t envy them. I’ve fought in wars, i know what it’s like to patrol the streets of baghdad. At least then the environment was less complicated. This chaos is insane. But we are going to have to slog though.

I didn't say that they don't have due process, but there are reports that people have been wrongly extradited and had to sue to return. That is ridiculous and makes me nervous to even travel to the USA. And their behavior is indeed scandalous. They are purposefully creating nasty scenes and upsetting the entire neighborhood, to look tough and cool to their voters. They were highly effective before they purposefully took this bling-marketing turn, last year. Obama and Biden were deporting in high numbers.
