Why didn't they do it before? Don't get me wrong, I will absolutely vote for Trump again, and I absolutely want Tom Homan to run a big deportation operation. But why didn't they do it last time?
You are living in a fantasy land. A large portion of Americans just want free stuff from the government, if that means they have to allow massive illegal immigration to get it, they will do it. We have got to get away from thinking that we can build our way out of any of this. I don't care what the vote says
Much of what Trump tried to do was blocked by the courts. All it takes is one well selected Federal Judge to nix what an administration is trying to do. If I remember correctly, it was a San Diego Federal judge that ruled minors apprehended at the border had to be released within 72 hours and could not remain detained. That is why there are thousands of kids missing. There is no time to vet the kids or their so called sponsors. If they don't get the kids out within 72 hours, they get sued. To hell with what happens to the children. A large portion of our border mess has to do with rulings handed down by a single judge and Congress is unwilling to tackle the issue.
However, even though those judges have given us an immigration nightmare, that judicial power does at times work in our favor when there is executive overreach - as in 2A cases. We have been fortunate several times since Biden stole the WH to have a Federal judge put the kibosh on some executive or regulatory action. So it does cut both ways.
Congress gave Federal judges the power to do this, and Congress can take that power back - but that would mean they would have to actually do their job and legislate - something I don't see happening anytime soon. So until we can solve this problem of rouge judges legislating from the bench, it is going to be very difficult for Trump, or anyone else, to fix the immigration mess much less anything else. Easier said than done.
Exactly my point. What is it that Trump's going to do differently this time? I want to hear that he's going to go crazy extreme, that's the only way he can get our agenda done. But if he's going to go in there and play politics again, none of what we want will be accomplished
There is no way that a president alone can get the job done - that is what a dictator does. So that being the case, I don't see much getting done on the immigration front - at least not in the way we would like. That is going to have to be done bit by bit and fought through the courts the entire way. A wall - now that we can do. As far as rounding up the people already here - that is going to be a tougher fight.
What he can do is drastically cut the executive branch - especially taking an ax to the SES - that is the deep state. He wanted to wack them before, but as with many other things, he caved to his advisors. I don't think he will make that mistake again and they know it. That is why they are pulling out all the stops to keep him out of the WH. They know if he gets back in there, look out.

Maybe because it wasn't 'as bad' and people had to see for themselves how bad it CAN get....
