There isn’t a very structured process for approvals or denials of things like temporary protected status. If there were then practically anybody being deported would have been able to sue and get back in.
I’m on your side about this but the reality is that the Supreme Court is politicized and largely siding with this administration, congress still sides with this administration, and the billionaire corporations we all feed into to grow their wealth are all siding with it too.
It’s amazing to me that we can’t get 60% of the vote to lock shit down, but the reality is that “democrats” aren’t on our side outside of a handful of exceptions like Bernie. Big money owns politics. We’re seeing the fallout of allowing superpacs to be funded now. The citizens united ruling back in 2010 is what is fucking us, but it’s too complex for people to rally behind for a general strike.
I wish I could change it, but I’m powerless. I’m not a billionaire or a trillionaire.
Laws kind of still are, it’s just that immigration law today in the US is completely arbitrary. That’s why they can bring people in with legitimate asylum claims, initially clear them and give them TPS, then simply deny them after the fact and put them on a plane and deport them within a couple of days of holding in southern shithole states where private operators make boatloads of cash working with the process.
I have sat down with a final interview with a USCIS officer less than a year ago. We were terrified that the conditional green card would be revoked (had spent something like two years applying to have the condition removed, the interview for naturalization came first.) We were terrified that they would simply be taken right then and there, but somehow it was simply “recommended for citizenship” and just a few short terrifying weeks of ‘invalid certificate of naturalization’ back and forth mailing on a passport application later and an extra visit to have them re-do the mistake at USCIS later, they got their passport and we feel mostly safe.
For some reason we as a nation are pretending like Afganistan, Haiti, Somalia and Venezuela are safe countries and that the people who have come here to try and escape persecution, rape and death are not under real threat. It’s mind blowing and probably a violation of international law… but still the majority of those that elected this administration are cheering for this. The opposition party has no influence or power to stop it and all the protests in the world by the left won’t stop this. Nothing really can change until midterms if the democrats or independents pull a miracle and win in tons of red districts.
The cherry on top is that tons and TONS of latin american immigrants are highly conservative and completely for this. I know several and it’s just completely insane. If they did the process the “right way” by marrying a citizen or winning the lottery they act like they somehow deserve it any more than the next one.
Since i’m already well into my soap box… the fear and intimidation tactics are wholly unnecessary, and they’re still only deporting twice as many as Obama despite pouring billions of dollars into this. Minnesota and Greenland have all just smoke and mirrors to distract us from the trumpstein files imo. There’s enough there to cause serious damage but the news cycle has wholly ignored them all of January. I think a lot of this shit is planned out well in advance from a high level, but trying to prove that is like trying to convince a faithful person that religion is a lie.
What laws prevent deportation of human beings from stolen land? Because that’s the real “mess”, not merely the hamfisted way Trump’s brownshirts are going about it.
Have to make it the law that ICE transfers cross state can’t happen for 7 full days or something.
What the fuck? It’s already the law not to do this at all, and also NOT TO IGNORE FUCKING COURT ORDERS. Like, are you making jokes?

If laws were enforced in the first place, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

Laws are enforced on the powerless, not the powerful.

It’s not like they would care.
Yeah, then what?
Think just 1 chess move ahead, dude.
What the fuck man
