Reflections From a Murky Pond

Democrats are all up in arms over criminal illegals being deported without “Due Process.” However, it’s quite easily arguable under jurisprudence that no illegal alien is due Due Process when and if the “punishment” is deportation. Deportation is neither, legally speaking, a civil nor a criminal punishment. It is simply removing them from where they’re not entitled to be and returning them to the proper place.

No Punishment, No Due Process

Under 8 U.S. Code § 1325, these invaders could be fined up to $250 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined up to $500, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both. Both the fines and imprisonment, however, are provided for under Title 18, which is the overarching Crimes and Criminal Procedures statute in US law. That would invoke the constitutional requirement for Due Process. However, simple deportation is arguably an “intervention” that precludes Title 18 completely and, therefore, is not subject to Due Process, it not legally being a civil or criminal proceeding.

So yes! Illegal Aliens should be given the process they’re actually due and not one jot or iota more. 😉

Here’s another bit of interest from the Left’s now largely defunct hysterical mob action over Justice Kavanaugh: The ACLU in a rare paroxysm of honesty came out and campaigned  – to the point of spending millions of dollars on multi-state ads – against Kavanaugh’s nomination solely because of Ford’s now discredited allegations against him.

But, at least this is a much needed bit of honesty on the ACLU’s part.  And it is honesty, as a leaked internal memo shows clearly. The ACLU has officially abandoned their commitment to the Bill of Rights in favor of “Social Justice.” Now they’re just another hate group and, sadly, a well-funded one at that, with a large stable of lawyers to use in lawfare against the American people.
