Border Czar Upset Undocumented Know Their Rights

Trump's border czar Tom Homan, complained that immigrants in sanctuary cities are "very difficult" to arrest because they are "educated" about their rights when it comes to ICE raids.

It is the wont of authoritarian worshipping dullards like Homan to frequently be "upset." Tres effen triste, Tommy boy.

An administration chock full of idiots, run by an idiot.

Congratulations, we are living in a time period that will be taught in 2060 as the "Stupid Ages".

Maybe that is why Pres Trump once said that he loves the poorly educated.

Tom Hobag is upset?

Boo ------- hoo.

@#4 ... Tom Hobag is upset? ...

That Mr Holman objects that the immigrants know their rights seems to imply that he also knows that he may be violating those rights.

"They call it Know Your Rights.' I call it how to escape arrest,'" -Tom Homan

I think that quote will probably sum up the 2nd Trump administration quite well when it's all said and done.

Illegal immigrants don't have any rights though.

"Although undocumented immigrants are not guaranteed all the same rights as US citizens and legal residents, they have certain protections under the Constitution.

These include the right to due process, the right to be with family, the right against unreasonable searches and seizures, and the right to education."

Which is of course a left-over from when this was an actual Christian country that that had heart, and not a faux-Christian country that has none at all.

@#7 ... Illegal immigrants don't have any rights though. ...

That seems to be Mr Holman's opinion as well.

But it does not look like a correct opinion.

If it were a correct opinion, then why did he apparently complain about the immigrants knowing the rights your comment says they do not possess?

OK, power just went off here.

I don't know when I'll be back. The UPS's shut the servers down after a few minutes ...

Magat scum are truly the most uninformed, ignorant assholes on the planet.

constitution.congress.gov

In 1903, the Court in the Japanese Immigrant Case reviewed the legality of deporting an alien who had lawfully entered the United States, clarifying that an alien who has entered the country, and has become subject in all respects to its jurisdiction, and a part of its population could not be deported without an opportunity to be heard upon the questions involving his right to be and remain in the United States.1 In the decades that followed, the Supreme Court maintained the notion that once an alien lawfully enters and resides in this country he becomes invested with the rights guaranteed by the Constitution to all people within our borders.2

Eventually, the Supreme Court extended these constitutional protections to all aliens within the United States, including those who entered unlawfully, declaring that aliens who have once passed through our gates, even illegally, may be expelled only after proceedings conforming to traditional standards of fairness encompassed in due process of law.3 The Court reasoned that aliens physically present in the United States, regardless of their legal status, are recognized as persons guaranteed due process of law by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.4 Thus, the Court determined, [e]ven one whose presence in this country is unlawful, involuntary, or transitory is entitled to that constitutional protection.5 Accordingly, notwithstanding Congress's indisputably broad power to regulate immigration, fundamental due process requirements notably constrained that power with respect to aliens within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.6

OK, I'm back.

Fortunately, the UPS plan I have here kept everything OK.

The tunes kept playing, the DVR kept recording, and I remained on the Internet.

The lights here, however, went dark, so my #10 comment was typed by the light of the laptop screen. :)

Looking back at that comment, hmmmm, it seems to show what is important to me when the power company stops delivering their product.

Internet access, DVR recording (and Comcast seems to be able to keep providing their service through such outages. Kudos for that.), and tunes.

Lights? Well, I have battery powered lights to go to, so no need for the UPS's to deal with that.

Homan, like nearly all trump hires and supporters, is a dirtbag.

@#15

Well, I find it difficult to disagree.

He seems, by his own comments, to want to ignore the rights of people he is targeting.
