Define "realistic way." It's a fairly ironic thing for you to say considering that in two posts you make this suggestion: Exactly which system do you exist under? Are you suggesting that the legislature create a new form of the judiciary that is not subject to appeal or review? Would this fast track system exist without a path to the supreme Court? Exactly what is a "fast track court" and how much funding do they require? Do the Republicans get to pick the judges for these courts? Would the illegal immigrants still have the right to taxpayer-funded legal counsel? Are we going to fund "fast track attorneys" to handle this process? There certainly aren't enough public defenders to handle 20 million immigration cases "quick(er)", so would these fast-track attorneys be required only two weeks of law school instead of the full 3 to 4 years? Personally, I love the idea of an immigration court with no right to appeal and Trump-selected judges that will run through ~ 5,000 cases per day. Unfortunately, even then it would take 11 years with no holidays or weekends to process the 20 million illegal immigrants floating around our country. Now, who's not addressing things in a realistic way again? There is, flat out, no realistic way to provide millions and millions of illegal immigrants the due process that we would consider constitutional for an American citizen. That is an inescapable reality. The progressives are making this argument because they know the only solution under this context is amnesty, because we will bankrupt ourselves before we are able to process that many people through our current legal system. As I said before, I am 100% in support of due process for any illegal immigrant that we are attempting to put into prison. But sending you back to the country you came from is not punishment. It is simply a response, and a rational one. And if you as an illegal alien parent decide to take your American citizen child (anchor baby) with you, that is not equivalent to deporting an American citizen. That is a mother choosing to stay with her child. There is a very real debate around the criminal illegal aliens that we sent to a Salvadorian prison. Unless they were Salvadorian in the first place, in which case, I don't care what El Salvador does with them once we sent them back. That tactic needs Supreme Court review. You just don't like the answers you're getting. That doesn't equal dodging the question. -
Valid, and it also describes 99% of the gov, regardless of political affiliation. The whole lot of congress is mostly rhetoric and nil action. It’s all about elections and not about getting shit done, whether R, D, or I. -

You're almost doing the meme! I would prefer the United States not be flooded with third world immigrants, regardless of their legal status or propensity for crime. The illegal ones certainly shouldn't be rewarded with a fast-track to permanent residency or citizenship. They should be removed swiftly. The more people from those regions come to my country, the more my country will resemble the places those immigrants are fleeing from. Naturally, I don't want that. Presenting the bipartisan border bill proposed in 2024 as a meaningful solution to the illegal immigration crisis immediately discredits you as either uninformed or bad-faith, I don't know which. Did you read the language of the bill itself or just the headlines at the time? It would have permitted thousands of daily border crossings without any enforcement mechanism, given immigration jurisdiction to partisan courts, and more. We do have a Republican president and legislature, though. You're right about that. And the fact that they aren't working together to pump out legislation to solidify and implement the political will of the American electorate is part of the reason that I would never in a thousand years call myself a Republican or conservative. -
