Immigration officials in the United States have in recent days deported three children aged 2, 4 and 7 who are US citizens along with their Honduran-born mothers, their lawyers said.
I agree that if they’re found to be here illegally, they should be given the choice of whether their American children should remain with them when they’re deported.
I think this should only occur after they receive due process.
The way to avoid delays in judgment is not to do away with due process. That’s trying to cure the disease (dysfunction) by treating the symptoms.
The way to solve it is by dramatically increasing the number of immigration judges to help reach resolutions quickly. Thousands more. That’s a constructive change, not a destructive change. One is long-lasting; one only lasts as long as this administration. Both parties have failed at dramatically expanding the immigration courts like they should have, because this is a political issue they can campaign on.
But constructive changes are still the right way to improve the system.
