RE: Salvadorian Mother Deported, Forced To Abandon Family
Lest you be reminded the U.S. is a nation of laws, immigration not withstanding. Where I currently live, if I violate a single statute of their immigration laws, I am subject to detainment and deportation... regardless of family, house, etc. When you begin to understand why immigration laws exist in the first place, you might come to understand. Sorry (sad)for the family, but I'm sure it was all a calculated risk on their part (one they were willing to take) and the family knew of any potential outcomes, yet they chose to break the law anyway. The law is the law. Also, I didn't see any mention of increased deportation numbers during Obama's term... why?
I can appreciate the meaning behind your comment but it seems like you also have some negative feelings towards those you say " choose to break the laws "
People of COLOR do not have to go the extremes of breaking laws for the law to accuse them of somehow breaking the law. In the hearts of many that have sworn to protect and serve, people of color have broken the law for just being " people of color. "
If it makes you feel better, I am colorblind and married to a woman of color. I support the rule of law and justice for all. I don't subscribe to your perceptions of unequal treatment based on "color," but rather people reap what they sow.
"I support the rule of law"
The US is not a rule of law country.
"I don't subscribe to your perceptions of unequal treatment based on "color,"
Doesn't matter whether you subscribe to it or not, it happens.
Not a "Rule of Law" country? What hole you got your head stuck into! Maybe you should spend some time in the "third world" for a spell. You might (will) change your tune. And as far as unequal treatment based on color... Have you ever wore a badge and carried a gun to work with the thought every day that you might not see your family again! You sir, HAVE NO CLUE what it is like to work under such stressful conditions. You probably even support the "Flat Earth" theory. I feel sorry for you.
"Maybe you should spend some time in the "third world" for a spell. "
Maybe you should take a look at the definition of 'rule of law'. And, the state of other countries has zero relation to whether the US is a rule of law country or not.
"Have you ever wore a badge and carried a gun to work with the thought every day that you might not see your family again!"
LOL. Change the topic much? The hell does working under stressful conditions have to do do with the question? Unless you mean that working under stressful conditions makes it ok to treat unequally.
Huge comparable differences, which you have no idea about (review the World Justice Project's 2016 Rule of Law Index). And my reference to stress was that people are subject to making miststakes under duress, that's all.
"Huge comparable differences,"
Again that has nothing to do with whether the US is a rule of law country or not.
Research needed on your part!
The job of the police is to enforce codes and statutes, not to protect and serve.
'Protect and serve' is propaganda and mythology.
DIsagree? Too bad, the Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that police have no duty to serve and protect and that their duty is to enforce codes and statutes.
Wow, you really like distorting the truth, huh? The Supreme Court ruling you reference ruled that "Police did not have a "Constitutional Duty" to protect a person from harm...," especially if it puts them in harm's way, but most of the police that I have known personally in my lifetime have always gone above and beyond. So get over your propaganda!
It doesn't matter what some guys you know have or have not done. The fact of the matter is that SCOTUS has 'made law' that police have no duty to protect a person from harm, only to enforce codes and statutes.
Yet they humanely do so every day! I don't give a hoot what the SCOTUS thinks or how they rule. The liberal SCOTUS has compounded many of the problems this country currently faces. They have become too "political." As far as law enforcement goes, there may be a few bad apples, but overall give 'em a break, will ya.
"Yet they humanely do so every day!" Utterly irrelevant to the topic.
" I don't give a hoot what the SCOTUS thinks or how they rule. " You don't? Yet you argue that the US is a rule of law country. You don't respect the lawmakers' rule and law?
No, I will not give any of the criminals that ran the Chicago black site a break. Nor will I give a break to the silence from LEO nationwide who refuse to go 'ya know, that's pretty bad, and those officers and administrators should all lose their job and be criminally prosecuted.
Unfortunately, the SOCUS has turned to political extremism with their ideologies, and as a consequence, court opinions have become increasingly different in their content from opinions issued by lower federal courts. The SCOTUS has been corrupted, so no, I do not respect some decisions. Will I follow the rule of law, absolutely! To do otherwise would make one a radical anarchist, probably similar to yourself.
LOL.
Ok.
