Following CNN`s
Lou Dobbs, the Associated Press and other Main
Stream Media outlets have been trying out some
newly-discovered immigration vocabulary—words like "catch
and release" and "OTM."
Great. But the readers of
these pages here at VDARE.com have
demonstrated—through e-mail feedback—that they are much
more
in touch than most
full-time journalists with the reality of the
illegal alien invasion and what should be done about it.
Here`s a prime example—an e-mail I
received about my
column and
legislative analysis of
H.R. 2933, "The Alien Gang Removal Act of 2005"
[PDF].
VDARE.com reader Bob writes:
"What
good is it going to do to deport known gang members if
our
borders are not secure? Have a nice day."
You`ve hit the nail on the head
there, Bob!
Congratulations for unmasking the
folly of employing incremental legislative solutions for
a litigation-based deportation system that is
fundamentally flawed in the first place.
I`ve been making the point
for years: litigating the deportation of every
single illegal alien and criminal alien resident—served
up to the federal circuit courts of appeal by the
Department of Justice`s Executive Office for Immigration
Review`s (EOIR) nationwide Immigration Court system—is a
meaningless exercise…as long as
deported aliens are free to simply
abscond from deportation, or (if actually deported)
just walk back into the country.
With little physical security of
the borders, the EOIR litigation bureaucracy is really
just another avenue for
illegal aliens and
criminal alien residents to stay in the United
States.
And, as another VDARE.com reader
points out regarding the "gang deportation" bill,
once illegal alien gang-bangers are brought before EOIR
immigration judges, an order of deportation is never
certain.
In fact, newly-arrived illegal
aliens gang-bangers may walk out of EOIR Immigration
Court with a grant of asylum—a free pass to
lawful permanent residence, that is—from the very
same proceedings that were supposed to be deporting
them.
A VDARE.com reader explains:
"Too
many BIA [JM Note:
EOIR`s appellate
body—Board of Immigration Appeals]
decisions are out there dealing with `fear of
street gangs.`
"And
yep, the `out` is for the
gang-banger to just claim: “Hey, I came to the U.S.
to escape the gang [or] escape the evil
Guatemalan/Honduran/El Salvadoran cops who want to
kill me because I have tattoos [or] to start a
new life."
"And
the [EOIR] immigration judges fall all over their
bull$#!% claims.
"And if
you are a juvenile, struggling up the ranks of MS-13,
just starting out with your tats?—it`s even easier to
convince an immigration judge that you were `persecuted`
by the cops because of your tattoos, and that you need
asylum because as a `child` you face certain death upon
return, where only permanent residence in the U.S. will
save you. Of course, there are no gangs, or MS-13,
here in the U.S., right?
"For
juvenile
gang-bangers, better yet, just claim to be under 18.
Then the `bar` is significantly lower to win asylum
based of `fear of the gangs` or `fear of the police
because of your tattoos` because, as you know, tattoos
don`t mean you are bad, or a criminal, or involved in a
gang, of course.
"I even
heard one little jerk claim the
three dots on his hand `for mi vida loca`
stood for the three weeks he was unjustly detained by
his home country`s cops, and another lamely claim that
he just liked the initials `MS`
and had no idea what they meant."
So roll that up in your pipe and
smoke it, Treason Lobby.
There are people out there (like
these VDARE.com readers) who have moved far beyond the
fantasy world of believing that the EOIR litigation
bureaucracy actually works.
So why not give summary removal a
chance?
As long as the physical security of
our borders are a travesty, the time is long overdue to
abolish the EOIR and move toward a system of
expedited removal—similar to Immigration Act
Section 235(b)—for illegal aliens and criminal alien
residents.
Congress would also need to expand
mandatory detention under Immigration Act Section
236(c), scrap the
credible fear charade of turn-`em-loose
asylum screening, and close the
candy store of relief from removal that is the
current Immigration Act.
I have a dream!*
My e-mail in-box shows that there
are others out there who share this dream.
Unfortunately, none are members of
Congress…yet.
