Illegal aliens are a huge financial burden to American taxpayers. They are not supposed to get these government handouts, which legal immigrants are also not entitled to. President Trump is to be applauded on cutting them off from these programs, which the previous regime was breaking the law to provide to them. Denmark has long had a policy of limiting welfare to illegal aliens to discourage them from coming, but in next door Germany, 63% of the welfare budget goes to the illegal alien migrants.

Obama deported 313,000 illegal aliens without the courts demanding all this "due process" Most of those were in his first term. Why are radical judges trying to impose a different standard on Trump? The answer is purely for politics. This political abuse of our courts by corrupt hyper-partisan Democrat judges needs to be brought to a screeching halt or our democracy is over. If we need to start arresting judges, then we need to start arresting judges.

Democrat judges are just too chummy with illegal alien gangsters and criminals.

While polls show that a solid majority of Americans want the illegals - all of them - sent home, the out of touch Democrats want to keep them all here, even the criminals, or, heck, especially the criminals among the illegal aliens. Democrat judges seem to be no different from AOC or Schumer or Jasmine Crockett or Bernie Sanders.

Germans deserve a totally new election. Hopefully this exposure of fraud will get them one. Over 60% of German voters cast votes for parties calling for a sharp crackdown on illegal immigration, but now with the Social Democrats pulling all the strings, they will not get one. Indeed, as lame ducks, the Social Democrats were busy flying in every illegal alien they could.

Merz of the CDU talked a very good game on immigration in the campaign, but when he announced that he was only going to deal with the leftist Social Democrats on forming a coalition, he gave them an effective veto on all of his conservative promises, and indeed, he has now backed up on every one of them. The Social Democrats lost the election, getting their lowest vote total since 1887, but they still end up in control of the government thanks to that fool Merz, who has probably destroyed his own party with his rotten coalition deal. CDU party members, party leaders, and elected officials are resigning in disgust from the CDU.

Merz has betrayed the German prople and he needs to go.

"If you were an American falsely accused of wrongdoing on January 6th it wasn’t merely difficult to get “due process,” it was impossible. The entire system was rigged against you. All of it."

When I hear this crap about "due process" for illegal aliens who should not even be in our country, it makes me angry. If someone broke into your house, should you have to spend months in a civil lawsuit, with them still in your house, to get them out? No, HELL NO. Kick the scoundrels OUT, ASAP.

The United States is faced with two tier political justice, and unless this is remedied by the Supreme Court, it is a major attack on democracy. Biden was allowed to change Trump policies at will, even those approved by Congress, but partisan Obama judges and Biden judges have tried to block Trump from changing Biden policies that have no basis except executive fiat. That is not how a Constitutional republic is supposed to work. Judges, who are unelected, unaccoutable political appointees are not supposed to have that power. If the Supreme Court refuses to rein in these rogue district court judges, then someone is going to have to come down very very hard on the whole judicial system. I would hope that would be Congress to barbecue them with their power of the purse. The idea of impeaching these rogue judges and then hitting them with a tsunami of subpoenas is also a good idea. If the Supreme Court does not take action, then Congress needs to do so to restore Constitutional norms that are being badly eroded by partisan Democrat federal judges.

Israel used paying illegal aliens to leave as part of a carrot and stick approach to deportation. Up to a certain time they would be paid to leave, but after that the government would come down on illegal aliens like a ton of bricks. I have moral qualms about paying people who deliberately came in illegally to leave, but from a financial perspective, it does make sense.

Of course, another techique is to cut illegal aliens off from welfare and other financial support. Denmark has made welfare scarce for illegals for many years and they are not as burdened by illegal immigration as the countries around them as a result of that policy. Iceland last year lowered the boom on illegal aliens getting welfare last year and it had a big impact.

Trump is talking about also paying illegal aliens to leave, and he is cutting off their subsidies. Both of those things should encourage self-deportation. Outside groups that fund illegal aliens should probably be charged with harboring illegal aliens, which has been a felony in our immigration laws for years, but rarely used.

The Orwellian term "illegal immigrant" is an oxymoron. An "immigrant" is defined in our immigration statutes in the United States Code as someone who is lawfully going through the proper statutory immigration process. What Amendus is referring to is defined in our immigration laws as an "illegal alien". Calling the linejumping illegal aliens any type of "immigrant" is a huge insult to real immigrants.

Real immigrants have to undergo a lot of real due process in their application process including a thorough background check and a thorough medical examination. By sneaking in, illegal aliens evade the due process that real immigrants go through on the way in, so they are not entitled to any due process on the way out.

Besides, simply sending them home does not deprive them of life, liberty, or property. If an illegal alien who is not a criminal is simply deposited in his home country, that does not deprive him of liberty, and certainly not of life or property. If he is in our country illegally, he does not belong here and his right to come back depends on making a legal application for immigration, not trying to take the law into his own hands by just coming because he feels like it.

The Hungarians have a simple hearing for illegal aliens they capture. The illegals are immediately taken before a magistrate and asked their names, countries, and how they entered Hungary. They are also searched. At this point, they usually try to claim asylum, at which point the magistrate informs them they are not entitled to asylum because they entered from a safe country. The magistrate then immediately orders them expelled from Hungary. That is simple and quick. Since Mexico and Canada are both safe countries, that procedure would cover most illegal aliens entering the US.

Illegal immigrants in the United States have the right to due process, meaning they cannot be deprived of life, liberty, or property without fair legal proceedings. This right is guaranteed by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. While the extent of due process protections may vary depending on the circumstances, all individuals, regardless of their immigration status, are entitled to some form of fair legal procedures.

Fifth Amendment:

This amendment states that "No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law".

Fourteenth Amendment:

This amendment uses the Due Process Clause, which describes the legal obligation of all state governments to provide equal protection of the laws to all persons, regardless of their immigration status.

Concerned Taxpayer: I have NOT voted once in the affirmative on the myriad votes to originate and construct this "boondoggle," except to allow the trade for land to save the Beaufort County taxpayers $500,000.00, which was summarily voted down by the Center Left Coalition, those who always prefer to soak the Beaufort County taxpayer whenever possible, while swapping votes to share power.

My conditional vote at this point would not mean much; however, change in leadership is necessary at this time in so many points of origin here in Beaufort County.
