Merged Due process in the US

[Hercules56]

There's no such thing as "half-Mexican".

Someone is half-Mexican if there parents are from different nations.

You are wrong in the extreme.

 

[Hercules56]

You are wrong in the extreme.

I guess you're right, if one has American and Mexican parents, they are Mexican AND American.

For example, yes, but we are talking about citizenship.

There are good cops and bad cops.

Ice detained them. I'm betting there are a whole bunch of bad actors there.

Shouldn't this be in the leopard thread?

What gives you confidence they can remedy it?

One of the tenets of left-but-not-that-left ideology is that "The system is working as intended." Any indication that the system is being used for overtly abusive and irreversible ends is dismissed on its face.

Observation.

Observation of what?

Do you think Musk is on the right trail to getting rid of them?

One of the tenets of left-but-not-that-left ideology is that "The system is working as intended." Any indication that the system is being used for overtly abusive and irreversible ends is dismissed on its face.

And the subtext of "The system is working as intended" is of course "The system is working as intended for me".

 

[johnny karate]

There are other, much more reasonable non-strawman alternatives.

Like what?

 

[johnny karate]

Let's see what the courts have to say about it.

The courts have already said something about it. The Trump administration told them to pound sand. Now what?

Do you think Musk is on the right trail to getting rid of them?

No. I don't think he's on the right trail at all. He's just chainsawing ◊◊◊◊. You can't evaluate productivity of tens of thousands of civil servants in a months worth of observation. Just not possible. And as far as I know, his boy helpers have no experience in said evaluations.

You could cross post it there if you like.

It's a difficult job with a 4 year back-log.

Let's see what the higher courts say.

 

[Hercules56]

Like what?

State Department intervention and pressure.

I don't see your point. Why would being half-Mexican make one more likely to be stopped by the police?

Really? You don't think ICE is more likely to stop a person who appears Hispanic than someone who is white?

The seafood wholesaler's owner, Luis Janota, told WPIX in New York that his warehouse manager, who was also detained, was Puerto Rican. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and its residents are U.S. citizens.

“It looked to me like they were specifically going after certain kinds of people — not every kind. Because they did not ask me for documentation for my American workers, Portuguese workers or white workers,” Janota told the station.
