Well "The Hill", you owe Kamala Harris an apology.
@RickiTarr she should sue them for $16 million (see trump/CBS)

@carstenfranke @RickiTarr
She really, really should.

But she won't.

...and therein lay the rub.

☠️ 🇺🇸 ☠️

@carstenfranke @RickiTarr he sued them for something like 1.5 billion and got a $16m "settlement". As in bribe.
@RickiTarr @lisamelton “Harris claims Trump is sending ‘the Army’ but in fact the OBBB allocates billions for an entirely NEW military force for the arrest and harassment of civilians. Therefor POLITIFACT rates this ‘pants on fire’”
@RickiTarr while I neither like the dems or the reps Kamala was right. I knew Trump was bad but I never expected him to go that far. I agree people shoudn't enter countries illegally but at the same time if they are caught they should still have rights and due process and if they absolutely have to get deported they should at least get help with the process so their security and their family aren't in danger.
@konakona @RickiTarr Then I hate to say it but you weren't been paying attention. That's not an insult we are all at different levels of awareness. At least when you know you are ignorant you can fix it unlike the other willful idiots out there.
That said literally all US anti-immigrant laws were made for completely racist reasons. And Crossing the border illegally is a Class D misdemeanor, up there with using Smokey bear's likeness illegally and sending dentures in the mail.

@konakona @RickiTarr The US immigration system is intentionally obtuse and difficult to navigate. I don't blame a single damned person for attempting to go around it.

Especially since Trump is revoking citizenship and legal immigration for no reason.

@konakona @RickiTarr Do you know what is required to "legally" enter this country? Talking points are easy. No one wants to deal with nuance.

Oh, and what about all those that DID enter legally just for Trump to change the rules and ambush them.

They have kidnapped and deported multiple people who were in the country legally on student or work visas.

@MasterMischief @konakona @RickiTarr

@konakona @RickiTarr
The point of due process is not for Americans to be nice to illegal immigrants. It is for the cases where a mistake was made, a citizen was nabbed. And it is so that the person has a chance to prove their innocence/citizenship.
Without due process, government can grab anyone they feel like (for example, political opponents), claim "illegal immigrant", and disappear the person.
@bjb I know it wasn't for Americans to be nice to illegal immigrants but at the same time if someone comes there illegally they should still be treated like a human being and if they have to get deported then doing so safely and not harm them in the process or detain them in horrible conditions.

@konakona
I agree that it is good to treat people like ... people. That is a separate issue, although it is partially addressed by the right to due process. (If the defendant is found "guilty" then I think they are still deserving of humane treatment but that is not covered by "due process" which ends when the disposition determination has been made.)

Some Americans seem to have completely lost sight of that.

@konakona

But the reason for the existence of the right to due process is to remove the ability from the government from being able to disappear people or arbitrarily treat them badly with impunity.

@RickiTarr FALSE: Donald Trump will actually send the National Guard and Marines after you.

obligatory /j

@disorderlyf @RickiTarr The National Guard is part of the Army. US Army Reserves.

#NoLieDetected

@GramrgednAngel @RickiTarr So I guess a more accurate shitpost would be "FALSE: Donald Trump will send a portion of the US Army Reserve AND the Marines after you."

@RickiTarr Oh. Did you know Biden is old? The Democrats have been covering that up for years.

You can see that in 1982 they claimed he was 40. Jake Tapper is doing another expose on Nancy Pelosi being old. I was shocked!

@RickiTarr Maybe she should sue them just like dumbass Trump is suing everyone for semi mean things someone said about him...
@RickiTarr exactly. she also promised to make our military the most lethal in the world. DJT is too much of a wimp to let Israel finish off Iran. i voted for a girlboss! i hate this
@RickiTarr Everyone was warned. FOR YEARS.
You don't listen to your elders to your own peril.
Too many people can't see #women as experts or more qualified than men.
Some women absolutely are smarter, more educated, more expert, better trained, more skilled, and superior to men.
Too many people don't get that.
To everyone's detriment.
All of this fuckery is about white male supremacy.
It's horseshit.
