On deporting families with mixed immigration status (such as the parents being in the U.S. illegally, while their kids are citizens): “I don’t want to be breaking up families, so the only way you don’t break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back.” [More]
And since there’s no legal way to deport a citizen, that means scratch this one off the list.
Wants Dreamers to be able to stay…
Because nothing says American self-interest like officially normalizing leftist foreign nationals.
As for “criminals out first,” last I checked a different branch of government will be adjudicating on due process and appeals…
Me, I’m just wondering when the band uniforms arrive.
Good thing none of this has anything to do with that “single issue”… right, Chuck?
I expect a major SCOTUS decision on the 14th amendment soon.
It has been mis-applied for far too long. It was meant to give citizenship to the freed slaves. Native Americans (Indians) were not granted citizenship until the 1924 Immigration Act. Shallow thinking judges have mis-applied the 14th for over 100 years. Sigh.
If the parents elect to take their minor children, who may or may not be US citizens, with them when they are deported, that’s hardly FedGov’s concern. But the citizenship status of those minor children who happen to be US citizens should be recorded somewhere so that they can return from abroad if/when they choose to as adults.
