Trump’s idea to deport immigrants without seeing judges is unconstitutional

Trump doesn’t believe in due process.

We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country. When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came. Our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and Law and Order. Most children come without parents…

Detaining families does not deter other migrants

DOJ told a federal judge last week that detaining families deters other migrants. Only problem? Their own statistics prove the opposite. My analysis w @rgoodlaw on @just_security, republished by @Slate.https://t.co/n7ImwAL3gT pic.twitter.com/IFoC7lqzj4

Trump doesn’t want to follow the immigration laws

Trump claims to support law and order but doesn’t want to follow the laws when it comes to immigration. Hypocrite. He’s playing to the bigoted part of his base.

We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country. When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came. Our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and Law and Order. Most children come without parents…

In a pair of tweets sent during his drive (to golf course?), Trump:
-described immigrants as invaders
-suggested stripping them of their legal rights
-said laws were a mockery and must be changed so undocumented immigrants could be deported immediately with no right to a trial

Trump consistently behaves and speaks as though he longs to be a despot, unconstrained by democratic checks, due process, rule of law, or the press. This is a demonstrable fact. Republicans in Congress are complicit in his attacks on democratic institutions and should be ashamed. https://t.co/M6GDCJiIdL

Why is @realDonaldTrump just focusing on those who illegally crossed the southern boarder-Brown people and not focusing on the millions who of other races overstay their visas? That is part of illegal immigration!!!!

It is NOT an invasion.

An INVASION is what RUSSIA did via a campaign of CYBERWARFARE in 2016.

You FACILITATED that foreign invasion by repeatedly LYING about it in public statements and PERSECUTING those investigating it.

You now ENCOURAGE a REPEAT INVASION with your inaction. https://t.co/IN8g4TVAiJ

One consistent theme of @realDonaldTrump’s immigration rhetoric is the belief that there should be little or no due process for illegal immigrants. His executive order seeks to detain families indefinitely. And here, he calls for no court cases at all before deportation. https://t.co/OtTGhRJOSh

Trump called the media “almost treasonous”

This sounds like a dictator to me. I don’t think much of the “deal”. It doesn’t end the nuclear threat like Trump claims. It was good that he met with Kim – that’s a start.

In an interview by Mike Huckabee, Sarah Huckabee Sanders’s dad, Trump just denounced the failure of media to depict his “deal” with NK as a great triumph as “almost treasonous.” That leaves “enemy of the people” a distant second in the fascist anti-1st Amendment sweepstakes.

Each time the bill passed the Senate with a bipartisan 60+ majority & each time the House R majority refused to vote on it even tho it likely had > 218 votes.

24% of Republicans approve of a man who meddled in our election. That’s disgusting.

Will Kim Jung Un get a bump?

I am not a big fan of Nancy Pelosi either but she has not murdered people, locked thousands of people up, etc. like Kim has.

According to a new Ipsos/Daily Beast poll, among Republicans:
– 19% have a favorable view of Kim Jong-un
– 17% have a favorable view of Nancy Pelosi https://t.co/3ZOKNsXiYr

The real reason Trump is opposed to immigration

Trump even wants to cut legal immigration. This would extend the time whites are the majority here.

"It's not that they want to fix the immigration system… They want fewer non-white people to come to America. They want America to be whiter. Full stop." @danpfeiffer talks Trump, Bannon, and C+ Santa Monica fascist Stephen Miller's immigration policy.https://t.co/3ZgiAQ83Yf pic.twitter.com/YQT8azW4Gu

— Pod Save America (@PodSaveAmerica) June 22, 2018

For the first time, opposition to cutting immigration (at 67%) is greater than support for cutting it was at any point since 1965 (65%, 1995). https://t.co/IlybMBLZib

Sarah Sanders asked to leave restaurant

I agree with the restaurant. The Trump administration spews lies, hatred and bigotry. They need to see this is not acceptable. Sanders should not have used her official account to tweet about it.

When I was a WH lawyer we trained all staff they couldn’t use their WH titles or resources (like Twitter acct) for personal uses like making restaurant reservations or promoting businesses. So yes, this tweet violates federal ethics rules. I’m sure Don McGahn will remind her. https://t.co/2t2JCVb5B7

— Ian Bassin (@ianbassin) June 24, 2018

Sarah, I know you don’t care even a tiny little bit about the ethics rules, but using your official account for this is a clear violation of 5 CFR 2635.702(a). It’s the same as if an ATF agent pulled out his badge when a restaurant tried to throw him/her out. https://t.co/Fj6OfBAdew

— Walter Shaub (@waltshaub) June 23, 2018

Sanders used her official govt account to condemn a private business for personal reasons. Seeks to coerce business by using her office to get public to pressure it. Violates endorsements ban too, which has an obvious corollary for discouraging patronage. Misuse reg covers both.

I'm also confused why she's so certain she was kicked out because she works for POTUS and not bc her dad is a racist a*******. As long as we're punishing kids bc of what their parents do, she should know that she is more than fair game.

After the way Trump and his supporters talk about other people, they have no right to complain that others are not civil.
