The man's lawyer says he has a family and no criminal history, but he's now listed at the Karnes County Immigration Processing Center, about 50 miles southeast of San Antonio.
Okay, before anyone jumps down my throat, I’m not defending this. It’s awful and shouldn’t happen.
That being said, reading the headline, I first got the impression that this was a case of them arresting and transporting a citizen. People should make sure to read the article.
Yeah, I mean it’s a tough spot. Neither party has done much to reform the system for legal immigration. That means we have plenty of illegal immigrants that are meaningful contributors to our society. But technically they are still illegal. So the poloticians of the past left the door open for what trump is doing. Trump is to blame for doing it, but the rest are to blame for leaving things in such a vulnerable state.
The article literally says people like him didn’t go unpunished in the past, they just get released on bond rather than taken away from their family and imprisoned.
Hm, I did not mean to imply this specific thing was done with precedent. I did mean to draw attention to the people who let this happen by leaving so many loopholes for trump to take advantage of. Leaving loopholes seems to be standard practice. Like tax law, lots of loopholes for the wealthy.

Because all he did was overstay a tourist visa.
Not sure if you are agreeing, disagreeing, or just making a disconnected comment.
Disagreeing since you seem to think that this was in any way something done with precedent. This is entirely unprecedented.
