ACLU Moves To Make Deporting Illegals More Dangerous
Posted on October 10, 2007
Update: Related News! Welcome to our open borders judiciary!
A federal judge barred the Bush administration today from launching a planned crackdown on U.S. firms that hire illegal immigrants, warning of the plan’s potentially “staggering†impact on law-abiding workers and companies.
Issuing a firm rebuke of the White House, U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer of San Francisco granted a preliminary injunction against the government’s plan to pressure employers to fire up to 8.7 million workers with suspect Social Security numbers starting this fall.
Yes, the ACLU were at the root of this too.
Of course the ACLU thinks we shouldn’t be deporting them in the first place, but….in the meantime they work to make it more difficult.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a motion to stop immigration authorities forcibly drugging deportees as they are put on commercial flights back to their home countries.
…
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Lauri Haley would not comment about the pending litigation, but said forced medications were rarely given.
“Medical sedation is an act of last resort and is rarely used,†Haley said.
According to court papers, one of the deportees, a Senegalese man, was forced to the floor in the aisle of a plane parked at Los Angeles International Airport and injected with medication.
The motion states, “It’s both medically inappropriate and shocking that the government believes it can treat immigrants like animals and shoot them up with powerful anti-psychotic drugs.â€
Whats the problem? We use the method rarely and only as last resort. Unfortunately, illegal immigrants broke laws and are potential threats to national security. If the man mentioned above had to be tackled to the floor at the airport, I wouldn’t say that it would be unreasonable to sedate him before he causes an even more dangerous situation. People that act like animals should be approached and handled like animals.
But the next quote is what really got to me.
“The ACLU contends the practice may constitute torture and violates both the Bill of Rights and federal law regarding the medical treatment of detainees.â€
Since when does the Bill of Rights apply to illegal, non-residents of the U.S.? The ACLU should have stuck with an argument of their beloved ‘international law’ violations instead of insult our Bill of Rights. Furthermore, once an individual touches U.S. soil illegally they are a criminal in violation of U.S. immigration laws. Besides grossly distorting this rare and necessary method as ‘torture’ and therefore minimizing those that have suffered real torture, the ACLU insult everyone by fabricating our Bill of Rights. As always the ACLU is being manipulative, dishonest and reckless in pursuit of their idealistic goals. Damn the consquences is the ACLU way.

I like the way you put it in your email: they are retards. Of course, if you think about it, retards are that way genetically. Liberals make themselves that way. So, perhaps that is an unkind comparison on the retards side.
They can not win through the legislative process so they will strive to force their agenda on America through the judicial process. That will keep happening until we rise up and do something about our corrupt judicial overseers.
I agree with this, it needs to be easier to deport illegal aliens. If we assume the minimum number of them, which the csmonitor puts at 7 million, we have to send about 20,000 a day back home every day for a year to get rid of them all. We need as few roadblocks to doing this as possible. I mean, that’s nearly 300 sixty-five passenger greyhounds a day, so we should probably get some bills passed to pay for those buses.
I agree that we need to crack down on illegal immigrants by going after those who employ them, and the penalties need to be so harsh that only the most foolish would hire illegals.
I also agree to the need to deport those who are here illegally, even if it means drugging them if they are a danger to themselves or others.
I cannot agree that they should not be extended the same legal protections and due process that every citizen is entitled to. This is a human rights issue, it just so happens that the Bill of Rights closely mirrors the same rights that every human being should be entitled to.
The ACLU uses the courts as well as other menas to propell their agenda, so does EVERY other group in the US. I seem to recall some election recount back in 2000 being halted due to a Supreme Court ruling. It was in Florida if I remember correctly (being sarcastic here). I’m even pretty sure it was the Republicans who used the courts to propell their agenda that time.
I don’t buy the line that illegal immigrants dot the jobs that Americans won’t do. I do believe that Americans won’t do those jobs for the same low wages that illegals will. Of course if we were able to make illegal immigrants scarce and the only workers available were American workers then the free market would force wages to rise or those business that insist on paying sub-par wages would go out of business. The free market at work.
Oh and I’m a liberal Democrat who supports the ACLU in most of what they do, but not everything they do. The nice thing about being from my side of the political spectrum is that no one on the left calls me a retard if I don’t agree with all or even most of their positions.
Woo! I am donating EXTRA to the ACLU this year!
An easy problem to create but harder to solve.
Greyhound bus’s would not be good enough, you need jail bus’s
“I cannot agree that they should not be extended the same legal protections and due process that every citizen is entitled to. ” EM
The U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights does not protect Aliens as the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution specifically states the purpose of the U.S. Constitution is to secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity and therefore Aliens do not qualify. They have to rely on Congress for any protections. A person does have the entitlement to prove their citizenship but nothing beyond that. The key word in your sentence is therefore “citizen”.
An open letter to those who would immigrate to America …
To sort those who would work diligently to integrate and become productive members of American society, from those who are merely looking for security, free education, and quality healthcare, we must:
1) terminate the anchor-baby policy. Americans have no moral responsibility to care for those who cannot control physical urges, take precautionary measures and/or manage the results. We must not continue to pay for the care and education of aliens when we do not adequately care for our own, as witnessed by homelessness in America, the sorry state of care for our veterans, the deteriorating quality of education in the U.S., and the pathetic state of healthcare,
2) strictly enforce deportation of illegal aliens. What part of “You are breaking the law†do you not understand? We did not invite you here, so do not wail and cry about separating you from your family when you come here illegally and then give birth. Keep your family together by taking your baby and going home. And next time, think twice before getting pregnant. You and your partner alone are responsible for your family, not me and my poor elderly parents. Nor should my children suffer in order to support yours!
3) work with foreign governments to establish programs and jobs in the countries from which would-be aliens originate. Such planning will provide the opportunities of promise and self-improvement that people seek for themselves and their families, without negative impact on American and Americans.
4) require minimum proficiency in English. Immigrants need to recognize that “admission to the party†requires work on THEIR part to make it “work,†and we Americans should not shoulder the cost of interpreting into languages of their choice.
5) require 2 years of service of each able-bodied person applying for a work permit, immigration or resident alien status in the U.S.. Such commitment could be satisfied in paying positions in either in the public sector, (such as working in healthcare, the postal or civil service), or in military service.
It is time politicians focus on the well-being of future generations of Americans, not on votes, and the ACLU change its name or refocus on what the “A†represents.
