“ACLU: No Deportation Of Illegals Without Legal Representation!”

There you go. More make ready work to bail out the over
saturated legal field. Of course these lawyers will be
the unemployable who only work for the government because
they are the only ones stupid enough to hire them. Just
like the lawyers at ACLU. Not to mention, we will be
picking up the tab for these worthless abogado tards.

The old reliable ACLU---always willing to say they are "for the poor and downtrodden" and hoping to make a buck on it.

THE FACTS ARE THESE: every lawyer is an officer of the court, and should know that the US justice system is not amenable to dispensing justice to litigants w/ "unclean hands"---a legal term meaning those who have committed crimes.

Migrant crimes most probably include (1) falsifying official documents, (2) giving false info to US authorities, (3) stealing SS nos, (4) faking multiple identities, (5) receiving govt monies under false pretenses, (6)falsifying tax returns to get EITC refunds, (7) money-laundering via remittanced to homelands, (8) colluding w/ criminal drug cartels to violate US borders...perhaps aiding and abetting by carrying drugs into the US.

Any lawyer or law firm that gives legal advice to an illegal (unindicted felon) should be reported to the state bar association for eventual disbarment.....and should have his/her license to practice law challenged.

Is ACLU arguing that the Bill of Rights, particularly the legal counsel aspect of the 6th Amendment, applies to illegal immigrants? Based on the following excerpts from the 14th Amendment (14A), and also a Supreme Court case opinion which deals with 14A issues, I'm inclined to believe that the rights protected by the Bill of Rights don't necessarily apply to illegal immigrants.

• 14th Amendment, Section 1: 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. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

• “3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphases added].” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.

Relief funds to be used for ACLU lawyers.

Really, can anyone tell me what would be so terrible about militarizing the border? It would solve this crisis in a day to a week tops.

We’re so worried about protecting poor Mexicans while the American people rot. Really, people. We’re borrowing money to pay for Central American citizens.

Any reason we’re not at least just billing the Central American countries?

[YukonGreen]

A bunch of lawyers who want to make money just like the unions. Crooked.

[HeartlandOfAmerica]

They’re not IMMIIGRANTS!!!!!!

[The_Media_never_lie]

Workfare for ACLU lawyers!
