So, the Democrats Won. What Now?

Those encountered that have already been previously deported are either immediately deported, or are arrested and prosecuted. Not given papers and turned loose inside our borders.

It’s been several months since I’ve followed Southern border illegal immigration issues, so I don’t know current numbers per category, but consistently for many years, only a very small fraction of those requesting asylum are ultimately allowed to remain in the United States. The reminder are returned to their home countries, or released back into Mexico.

Removal (a CPB/DHS administrative action) is different from deportation (a court action). This is why the terms (words) used are very important.


That is also not true. Simply being denied (or no longer having) legal immigration status (e.g. expired visa or never showing up for an asylum hearing) alone does not get someone automagically deported (a very expensive and time consuming process).

 

Your Repug Party ain't going to be able to accomplish shit if they do barely win control of the House.

McCarthy, or whoever their worthless leader is, is not going to be able to control the Repug Goober Caucus of MTG, Boebert, and Gaetz and all of the other Repugs that constantly play with their poo. Your whole party is ****ing fascist Nazi clown show.

The technical language isn’t relevant to the “Jose” scenario you suggested.

“Jose”, reentering the U.S. after having already being previously deported will not be given papers, and released into the U.S..

You’re responding to a scenario that I haven’t commented on.

I specifically, and correctly, addressed asylum requests.
 
Unfortunately, I think it's buckle up for a recession. We keep seeing fairly large Big Tech layoffs in the news over the last couple of weeks, and as one analyst wrote this week "... these companies may be the canaries in the coal mine."

Think we're in for a bumpy ride.
 
They are also a large part of the money behind the Democratic party.

The Democrats used to be the party of the undereducated working man. Times have changed.

Yes, it did, just not enough.

Hillary is truly repugnant, enough to make many hold their nose and vote for Trump. Who knew that he would be good at the job?

Indeed they have. That was when it was a true leftist party. Now it's a centrist-corporate party . And the undereducated working man often votes more with his bigotry than his wallet these days.
 
"So, the Democrats Won. What Now?"

Appoint lifetime court seats nonstop.
 
It’s not a guarantee the Republicans will control the house. As it stands now it’s 212-204 Republican with 19 seats still undecided. But even if the GOP does take control of the house, it will be by the slimmest of margins. Life goes on with divided government. Sometimes nothing getting done is a good thing. Divided government means neither party can force their agenda down on the rest of us who isn’t part of the party in power base. If something is to get accomplished, it will require compromise. Which is also a good thing. Now the rest of us who aren’t part of the Republican or Democratic base can relax for a couple of years knowing one party isn’t going to have their way with all the rest of us. I can live with that. As I said, life goes on.

In no way is the Democratic party remotely centrist. That's where MAGA sits.

Your bigotry is showing as well.

That's out of date. It's 216-206 so they only need 2 of 13.

Controlling the Speakership is significant. It also means control of the agenda.

Except he wasn't good at the job. His spending, stupid trade war, and his horrible mismanagement of Covid19 led to the inflation we are seeing now.
 

So now that the Democrat loss is almost official, what do they do next?
 
Are you guys done pretending Trump wasn’t the anchor around the GOP’s neck. Lake is a direct reflection for it, she thought she was Trump.

Hence the thread.

Democrats won because they kept the Senate.

Simple, move away from MAGA and get back to the people. MAGA got CRUSHED this week, should be clear enough what needs to happen.

They were not arrested. They were given a piece of paper and sent on their way. Most in less then 24 hours from when they illegally crossed the border.

You may be confusing political refugees with illegals. Refugees face years of waiting for their court date, and some are allowed to wait in the country until then. Not always, though. Illegals, when caught at the border, are usually sent back.

Often those sent back just try to cross again, boosting the numbers.

If Republicans really wanted to reduce illegal immigration, they would support E-verify. But businesses that rely on cheap labor hate E-verify and block it at every turn.

The Trump administration managed to get a grip on the problem. By 2019, the number of illegal crossings had plummeted. The tools exist provided that they are used. The Biden administration repudiated several of them the day of the inauguration.

Generally speaking, refugee status only applies to the first border crossing. Literally no one arriving from Mexico will be a refugee.

the only thing that did not work was the SCOTUS ruling on RvW.
