The Impending ICE Raids: Legal, Necessary, and Bound to Misrepresented by the LeftTownhall, Jul 14, 2019, Paul Curry
[...]
To be clear, these raids are not targeting people at random. They are specifically designed to target illegal aliens with final deportation orders already issued against them. That is, illegal immigrants who have had their due process and have been issued final deportation orders by a federal judge. And they are perfectly legal. Article II of the U.S. Constitution vests the Executive branch with not only the legal right, but the legal duty to enforce the laws duly passed by Congress. The President must take this action.
Not only are the raids perfectly legal, they are also desperately necessary. Nationally, we are stuck in a vicious, self-destructive and never-ending cycle. Be it through illegal border crossings or false claims of asylum, countless immigrants cross our border daily. They are incentivized by the promises of sanctuary cities, U.S. taxpayer funded healthcare, and protection from lawful removal.
When, after being afforded due process and a fair hearing, and being ordered removed, they remain. Such is the case with the targets of the impending raids. Some brought children with them and now claim that this is the only home the children have ever known. Some had children while here illegally and dubiously argue that birthright citizenship of the child should morally entitle the parent to stay. This leads to the never ending ‘DREAMer’s†situation. “What do we do with the people already here?†And, thus, the cycle continues.
The Democratic primary has only served to exacerbate this problem. All of the candidates in the recent Democratic debates incentivized illegal immigration in one form or another. From the promising of free health care to the decriminalization of illegal border crossing to the protection from deportation, the presidential contenders each sent loud and alarming signals to would be illegals and illegal aliens already here that the continued surge of illegal immigration is welcomed. And the cycle continues.
