First is that we have millions upon millions of undocumented people who are in this country illegally. Some are criminals beyond their illegal entry. Some are not. For the first time in this century – nay, in my lifetime – we have an administration focused on doing something about that. And the effort is removing criminal and non-criminal alike. Under the law. Following the law.
Second narrative is that we should be more selective in who we remove. Laws can be bent, ignored, re-interpreted, whatever it takes to conduct that selectivity. The media tell us who should be selectively excused, and for various reasons, people get emotional about the selected cases the media pump.
It would sure be great if our feckless Congress could forge something like the proposed Dignity act. Codify what circumstances no longer warrant removal. Create a way to get the undocumented to be documented. It has elements for just about every political angle out there. Until then, we’re going to have to hear the wailing of the anti-deportation crowd while the Trump administration does what he promised to do, and what voters elected him to do.
Until if and when new laws are passed, we have laws that say when someone gets deported and when they can be legal residents. And if new and more liberal residency laws are passed, do you really think that will stop the wailing until we have open borders again?

ICEstapo ain’t having it. They locked her back up, are moving her to another concentration camp and she will go on a deportation flight in shackles with the clothes on her back.
“Allison Bustillo Chinchilla, a young nurse from Charlotte currently held at an immigration detention center in Georgia, has been granted relief by an immigration judge that allows her to leave the country voluntarily instead of being deported — a decision that will enable her to return to the United States without facing a 10-year reentry ban.”
“…said Shin became a DACA recipient years later, but lost his DACA protections due to his 2020 conviction. He has remained without lawful status for the last four and a half years.“
Outrageous. Violin players should not be subject to the same laws as regular people.
The official added that Shin had a DUI conviction. Records show the matter was resolved after Shin pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor offense in 2020 and served his probation.
“My father was losing a battle to a Level 4 glioblastoma brain tumor. He had limited time to live,” Shin said, according to KSL-TV. “I fell into a depression during that time and the impaired driving followed.”
