The most comprehensive yet succinct article on the abusive mistreatment of immigrants by administrations prior to Trump written that I’ve read. I had read before how Obama’s administration had abused and mistreated children, moms and short- circuited due process but Ellin’s missive provides not only more color and footnoted research on Obama’s unconstitutional treatment, it also discusses his predecessors up to and including Clinton, Bush II, and Biden.
For the uninitiated, the mistreatment and abuse at the border did not begin with the Donald.
This is excellent, in context it shows the abuses of the system as a whole. We need to continue showing the current abuses of the system as they accelerate, including Guantánamo and El Salvador, and we need to create pathways to prevent these abuses.
I agree with Greg that Ellin's article was extremely informative, all-encompassing, and vital to understanding how immigrants have been treated by successive administrations; this is not a new phenomenon. Thank you for this important work, Ellin.
Ellin, you've provided us with an extensive look at the topic of "due process." Thank you.
Digesting the many examples and positions you've provided will take some time.
I have a very basic question regarding the 14th Amendment, which forms the foundation for many who are calling for "due process" for illegal aliens. In the first sentence of Section 1, it states,
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
Someone who enters the country doesn't qualify for the same degree of due process as a citizen might. So, for a "non-citizen," the term "due process" seems to have another meaning. I would enjoy hearing your view on the conflict the 14th Amendment presents.
Also, I understand that if an illegal alien is apprehended within 100 miles of the border, that person can be returned to the border and denied entry. Do you think the 100 miles could be extended to a greater distance by Congress, for example, 1000 miles? One reason they might consider this is because a large number of illegal aliens, once apprehended (surrendered) at the border, were transported via auto, bus, and planes by the US Government to locations beyond the 100-mile distance and released as if they had just crossed the border.
