So you accept that there is nothing the courts can do and it is up to the administration to resolve this.

Do you have a point? He suggested that being half-Mexican makes one more likely to be detained by police. I want to know why.

What powers do higher courts have that the courts the Trump administration already ignored don't? What is preventing the Trump administration from also ignoring the higher courts?

Implicitly explicit
Unnecessarily cruel, he's called X.
That depends on the context in which the term is used. One can be part Mexican just like I'm part German. And many people claim to be 1/4 native American. Or part Irish.
Was there a point to your post or were you just being....?

What makes you think Trump's State Department will do this?

I do not believe ICE agents roam around town looking for people who might be breaking some law. I believe they act on tips or orders.

Mexican is not a ethnicity. Its a multi-racial society made up of natives, immigrants and former slaves. One can be of any race, any ethnicity and be Mexican.

Funny how you dont see the ignorance and racism of such a comment.
I'll cut to the chase: Hispanics can be of any race.

It's not difficult at all if all you do is cut. Offering buyouts to 80,000 agency associates isn't efficient, it's stupid. Eliminating whole depts like the Office of Infectious Disease* is not just short-sighted, it's disasterous.
*And HIV/AIDS policy.

You can still be half of Mexican ancestry and half not regardless of your genetics.
Hispanic refers to people, cultures, of ethnicity tied to Spain, and the Spanish language. There are many Mexican citizens of German, and Jewish and other European descent, but I wouldn't necessarily refer to them as Hispanic.

Great minds think...
I would caution some people that when we see members popping out of nowhere on today's date, I would be weary about treating them seriously.
You can just tell if they're illegal by the cut of their job. If they have paperwork to support their claim of legal status then that's a definite red flag, only a terrorist or a gang would have that and it'd be forged.
Applying for asylum is de-facto illegal unless of course you're an Afrikaner.

A very distinct point, yes. You cannot be "half" in the context of nationality. Bloodline or ancestral configurations are non-legitimate factors. As far as the likelyhood of being questioned by authorities based on your ..... what ..... colour of skin, etc you already know the answer to that question. And as far as I understand the rules in the US I am of the impression that "being detained"(as youjust now said) requires more than just the colour of your skin, right? Wrong?
Yes, I always keep my most valuable documentation about my person where it's most likely to be lost or stolen....

I see nothing cruel about it. When you have little time to do a big job there are bound to be some rough edges. It is what it is and hopefully the mistakes made will be corrected.
