Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

"There are 15 million illegal aliens," Miller said adding that "if each were given a full trial, deportations would take centuries"

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said in a video that went viral on Friday that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process protections when being removed from the United States, arguing that providing full legal proceedings would make deportations unworkable.

"There are 15 million illegal aliens," Miller said. "If each were given a full trial, deportations would take centuries. They had no due process entering the country, and they are not entitled to it when being removed."

Supreme Court precedent has long held that constitutional protections apply to noncitizens within U.S. territory. In Wong Wing v. United States (1896), the Court ruled that the Fifth Amendment's due process clause protects noncitizens from arbitrary detention or punishment.

Ah, the land of the free welcoming the tired, heartbroken and poor huddled masses yearning for that freedom?

if each were given a full trial, deportations would take centuries

Yeah, that's kind of the point. You don't deport people out of spite or because it serves your agenda.

They had no due process entering the country, and they are not entitled to it when being removed.

Whatever that means. I'm not a scholar in matters of law, but I guess that Miller's opinion is as valuable as single ply toilet paper.

He's wrong and should feel bad. I hope he gets a yeast infection in his urethra.

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

He got cucked by Elon Musk, who is known for using IVF for a bunch of his children with multiple baby mamas. I don't know anything more pathetic than that. They deserve each other though, she's a ghoul just like them.

15 million! Crikey! Which orifice did he pull that number from?

Edit to add: This quote also enrages me.

“If each were given a full trial, deportations would take centuries."

Then so be it you souless ghoul. Maybe you should take it down a notch or two if you're struggling to achieve your goals. What a absolutely bullshit reason. Does he think anyone would think that's a reasonable excuse?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

He has a huge boil in and on his ass. It's called Stephen Miller

Mr Miller, needs no trial when someone Luigi's him. I call dibs on pissing on his corpse

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'll go second. Or 5,000th. As long as I get to piss on his grave on my future piss tour of these ghoul's graves.

Bring us yo huddled masses

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Cannot wait to see that logic used on him when it comes to his time - he didn't do any of what he did with due process, so no due process is owed him when deciding what to do about his crimes....

Can he just come out of the closet already? Why take out whatever problems/insecurities/being in the closet or whatever he has out on everyone else?

[–] VoteNixon2016@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 weeks ago

There's not a lot of people I'll say this about, but I think he is just genuinely evil.

We have the narcissists, the sociopaths, the self-loathing queer people, the ones driven entirely by greed, but I really do think that Stephen Miller delights in the cruelty, the suffering, the... evil

This photo of Goebbels comes to mind basically every time I think of Miller

He doesn’t deserve lube.
