Oh boy—look for the construction of privately-run permanent concentration camps! Not just for (Latino, Haitian, Somali) immigrants but for Muslims too (the new Sharia Free America caucus), uppity Negroes, LGBTQ, and anyone the wrong color, religion or gender.

Yes, and these corrupt judges are complicit in the detention of immigrants in inhumane conditions. This country is sick.

Of course they don’t care—they’re the elite! Gated communities, shut off from actual people who have to survive, nice billionaires to take you fishing. Same with the GOP—every Senator a millionaire is eons away from “a chicken in every pot”. They got insider trading, generous donors, no worries except a world filled with the wrong people.

There is a part of me that thinks all of this is tied to their grift. More detainees means greater need for additional facilities which lines his friends' pockets.

Exactly! Along with all the other grift, like selling our public land and/or its use rights to foreign entities- some for a century and some of whom are based in enemy countries.

8th circuit continues to suck

It has for a long time.

I had the impression there’s a circuit split. Is that not correct?

Probably won’t be an oopsie from DOJ on this one. At least immigration hearings are safe zones it seems.

"Lock them up"! I can hear the whooping and cheering from the WH all the way out here in the Pacific Northwest. No doubt this ruling will redouble the efforts of Miller, Homan, Markwaynebillybob et al to snatch thousands more children and send them to the camps.

Chilling, just chilling.

Although living standards here may be somewhat declining, Canada is still a culture of relative comfort. Perhaps that’s largely why I've long noticed how the general work ethic practiced by new immigrants and migrants is commendable, perhaps even exceptional.

This also applies to their employment with the produce harvesting sector. And there, the jobseeker likely also finds that big business greed insatiably always seeks the cheapest labor possible and migrants are an expedient means to this goal.

Nevertheless, it’s back-breaking work that almost all second and third (etcetera) generation Westerners won’t tolerate for themselves, myself included. I can truly imagine such laborers being more productive than their born-and-reared-here counterparts.

I’m not implying that a strong work ethic is a trait racially genetically inherited by one generation from a preceding generation, etcetera. Rather, it’s an admirable culturally determined factor, though also in large part motivated by the said culture’s internal and surrounding economic and political conditions.

However, I believe that once they’ve resided here for a number of decades, their strong work ethics and higher-than-average productivity, unfortunately, gradually diminishes as these motivated laborers’ descendant generations’ young people become accustomed to the relatively more slackened Western way of life.

One can already witness this effect in such youth getting caught up in much of our overall urban/suburban liberal culture — e.g. attire, lingo, nightlife, as well as work. Indeed, Western ‘values’ assimilation often means the unfortunate acquisition of a distasteful yet strong sense of entitlement. ... Ergo, welcome to Western culture!

certainly whoever got the Act into the US Code thought it was all about border removal. The definition is in the section labeled "Expedited Removal."

It never ends. They always find some way,

some red thick court, to skirt around and "lock 'em up".
