Any judge who helps illegal aliens evade federal immigration authorities should be removed from the bench immediately.


I wholeheartedly agree here...but ill add any judge who helps hide anyone when authorities have a warrant for them should be removed from the bench immediately. Then investigated and given the opportunity to explain why in a court of law

Just imagine that...


well to be fair...she is under FBI investigation...as she should be. So yes, both of these situations should have consequences.

Why are you throwing a visa into the equation? That means the person has undergone a very specific LEGAL procedure WRT privileges while in the country. This whole discussion is about something completely different, upstream of a visa. A visa is a carve out, wouldn't you say?


I am saying that you specifically noted that the constitution gives rights to citizens....those with Visa status are not citizens, so even though they are here legally your argument is that they have no rights under the constitution...


which is still incorrect. Youre making a hard argument that only citizens have rights under the constitution, including that only citizens have a right to due process. With that arguement, non citizens here legally would not be entitled to due process. Which is simply not true

I will take where Carolina is. Just finish top 8
quote:

The intentional use of "person" instead of "citizen" denotes they do not mean the same thing
This is something you made up in your head. It's not real. The first sentence and the last use the word jurisdiction. That ought to help you in your understanding but apparently it doesn't. The question isn't the interpretation. The question is why you can't understand something so simple.

It's absurd to say that the 14th establishes who is citizen and that they are under the jurisdiction but then say that the 2nd part just throws that out the window and every person in the world ("any person") is also under the jurisdiction. Your ad hoc explanation renders it farcical.

It's also interesting that you single out the word "person" but leave out "person within its jurisdiction" (which matches the first sentence) because it completely undermines your contrived opinion


so in your mind...people working in this country with a visa who are not citizens are not given any rights under the constitution? meaning in your mind that people here on a work visa are not subject to due process? So their paperwork means absolutely nothing...in your mind? Because essentially youre saying only citizens have rights here.
quote:

I mean, 'due process' should consist of "where's your documentation? Oh, you don't have any? Please get on the bus", so I guess I support due process for illegals.


Yikes...you realize that was what the SS did.



Due process has to be in court where proceedings are documented and appealable. No matter what people on here think, you can't just trust ICE or the Police to handle that
quote:

ou can blame the Government and Biden, and, I dont think you are 100% wrong to do so, but the real blame lies on people who are bums looking for free shite. We have a whole lot of people in this country who want free stuff and justify by saying "well others are doing it so I might as well too"

I don't feel sorry for anyone who did what you described. They are bums who dug their own hole. Let them climb out of it.


respectfully, predatory loans are to blame. Lack of accounting/finance classes in HS are to blame as well. I can't fault a kid for taking out loans to pay for education to try and better themselves. For those of us on the government loans, it's not a huge deal...but its the private predatory loans that are the issue imo.

That and tackling the real core issue of college cost. There is zero reason for Universities to charge as much as they do. The nation is better when people are educated, so we cant just let universities off the hook.


For the trade community. Yes, it offers an amazing way to skip college and make a living in most places. That said, I do think Unions help . In Columbia SC I worked as an electrician before going back for my EE degree. I made $15.00 an hour (2017). I worked 5 10's and was expected to work saturdays. My journeyman worked his arse off, and the owner would work them until they quit. That said, the situation wasn't any better anywhere else. Same pay, but in a lot of places you could get 40 hours. So unless youre union or have an awesome Owner, the trades are tough. Not to mention the stress on your body.

I can pay my loans back, its about 50k. Hopefully they don't eliminate the income based repayment, that imo would be stupid. Studies do show though, if student debt was wiped out, our economy would see improvement. Not saying that should happen...because pay your loans back, but I do hate seeing the predatory loans

Nothing gonna save you from bad investing.

If you are down that much, you made some stupid picks.


Stupid picks? most of the market is down the last several months and most people have their 401k's professionally dealt with. Most arent out there buying and selling their own stocks, making stupid picks
quote:

Where were you? Promise you, if you don't look for two years, it will go up. Always does.


respectfully my 401k is down 50k since Trump took office. I am glad that Trump's bilionaire friends are able to trade options and make millions off the situation, but the average 401k is not doing well.


If we are going to bash Biden for grocery prices and cost of living (as we should) then Trump is fair game for our 401k's. Heck I have parents that will be pulling from theirs soon potentially. It's not a good thing to see them tank.
quote:

This is incredibly false.

Trump actually likes to have people around him who disagree with him and he listens.

It’s been something repeated by many who have worked for him.

It’s never good to have “yes men”.


Do we honestly believe this though? I mean he fired T Jags because they didnt agree with him. He reportedly wants to fire Powell because he doesnt agree with him. If we have learned one thing about the people in this admin, they will tell you what you want to hear....which isn't always the truth

Trump’s picks during his first term were disastrous almost across the board.


Trump picks in general have been disastrous.

Kind of the story for Carolina. lost all 3 to OU by 1 run.. Definitely could have used 1, maybe 2 of those.


OU is damn good tho

Update: the court ruled that it did apply to non-citizens.

This is not a new concept.


add in Reno v Flores
Since the 5th and 14th amendments exist. Justice Scolia gave his opinion on the 5th amendment.


"We turn now from the claim that the INS cannotdeprive respondents of their asserted liberty interest at all, to the "procedural due process" claim that the Service cannot do so on the basis of the procedures it provides. It is well established that the Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law in deportation proceedings. See The Japanese Immigrant Case, 189 U.S. 86, 100-101 (1903). To determine whether these alien juveniles have received it here, we must first review in some detail the procedures the INS has employed."

The SEC recently invested in the best rivalry in college football. Smart move.


Texas/OU has nothing on Carolina/Clemson



I don't think it's the best rivalry, but SC/UGA is underrated. We typically lose, but the games are usually good and the fans get into it with each other.


I miss playing UGA
