Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:<\/p>\n

People who enter the United States without proper documentation (sneaking across the border from Mexico, for example) can apply for affirmative political asylum<\/a>.\u00a0 Asylum decisions are made by immigration court but the system is swamped so applicants are given a notice to appear for a future court date and released.\u00a0 While the court case is pending, they can live anywhere in the country and can work<\/a> while waiting for a decision.\u00a0 If they miss their court date, or if they appear but fail to persuade the court, they are denied asylum and an order is issued to remove them from the country.\u00a0 The Obama administration reports these people as \u201cdeported\u201d and claims this proves the administration has been vigorously enforcing the immigration law.<\/p>\n

But many who were ordered to leave do not leave, maybe as many as a million<\/a>. \u00a0Failure to obey the court order is a crime: they are now truly illegal aliens.\u00a0 They hide in sanctuary cities, where law enforcement is forbidden to check their status.\u00a0 They work illegally, shop at food shelves, feed their children at public school \u2013 three meals a day in some districts \u2013 and receive medical care at emergency rooms. They are waiting for the next wave of amnesty.<\/p>\n

After months of pounding by Donald Trump, President Obama now proposes to enforce those court orders by finding and removing the people who have exhausted their due process rights and shouldn\u2019t be in the United States any more.\u00a0 Democrats are aghast.<\/a><\/p>\n

My question: what is the Democrat vision of America?\u00a0 If we refuse to exercise control over our borders, if we reject the immigration court\u2019s decision, if we accept any immigrant at any time for any reason . . . what makes us America anymore?<\/p>\n
