Sucrose posted:I'm kinda curious how the people criticizing the president on this think that the immigration system should be handled. When people from countries other than Mexico are apprehended illegally crossing the border, they're given a court hearing rather than being immediately deported. At that hearing asylum claims are either accepted or rejected. Those whose applications for refugee status was denied are then subject to deportation. What is Obama doing wrong in this case? Probably we should allow claims of asylum for situations like the ones these people faced and are going to be facing again, which we do not currently. Probably we shouldn't treat people making a claim of asylum by throwing them into prison for a few months. Probably we should behave humanely, and also overthrow those who find excuses for inhumane behavior.

blowfish posted:The issue though is that civil servants and law enforcement and other state employees kinda need to follow lawful instructions and criticising them for doing their job becomes silly at some point. It would be more on point to complain about Obama In reality, kid, there's always a lot of flexibility with how these are implemented. The way they are currently implemented, in addition to the legal inadequacies, is inhumane.
