Hundreds of deported immigrants with mental disabilities may return to US
Published September 26, 2015 Associated Press
LOS ANGELES – Hundreds of immigrants with mental disabilities who were deported from the U.S. after representing themselves in court may be allowed to return to the country under a settlement approved by a judge Friday.
Federal Judge Dolly M. Gee’s ruling will let immigrants with serious mental disabilities request to have their cases reopened in hopes of returning to the U.S. The ruling covers immigrants deported from California, Arizona and Washington between Nov. 21, 2011 and Jan. 27 this year. …
The government identified 900 immigrants who could benefit from the ruling, though there could be more and it’s unclear how many would qualify to have their cases reopened, Iguina said.
Many of those affected are Latino, but she said there’s no way to know exactly how many.
Under the agreement, the federal government said it will help those with reopened cases return to the U.S. and pay for some transportation costs.
Comments to Steve Sailer:
* This is pure Lewis Carroll. The mental-impairment concept implies citizen’s rights — it’s not a legal directive for purposes of correctly dotting I’s and crossing T’s; formally it’s a backstop protection against adverse judicial conclusions, not a parameter of the process. Such willful misinterpretation of the precedent can only be the product of a blindly compliant bureaucratic mentality. As a constitutional and logical proposition it’s absurd/literalistic and anti-intellectual. Not to mention, it turns the function of an immigration court inside-out (amnestied until proven illegal).
* So we are going to pay to bring back mentally deficient people in order to give them another shot in a US court, we’ll pay for that too, to see if they can qualify to legally stay in the US which would entitle them to our social safety net, for which we will also pay.
Whether it is the EU intercepting “migrants” two miles off the coast of Africa and bringing them in the rest of the way, or the US paying to bring in the bottom of the barrel, our governments are actively participating in something that they tell us is just a force of nature and is inevitable. If demographic change is inevitable and we should not oppose it, then shouldn’t the government not have to intervene to promote it?
I wonder how inevitable all this would be if our governments put as much effort into stopping it as they do in promoting it.
* It is also the willingness of the general population (read white gentiles) to allow a small segment of the population with different cultural traditions to control the megaphones by which national conversations, and thus cultural attitudes, are processed.
I can’t help wondering why old stock Americans are incapable of controlling even one major media outlet and using it to communicate an alternate view of ‘acceptable’ viewpoints. Is creativity so alien to the descendants of Goethe and Shakespeare that they cannot write screenplays or produce TV shows?
* America 2.0 — an Asian judge telling Americans they can’t deport ‘mentally disabled’ Hispanic illegals.
* Worth noting that Donald Trump’s older sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, is a Federal Appeals Court Judge, who got her judgeship in part due to his intercession. He may be more familiar with how the gears turn in the judicial branch than other candidates. Perhaps, if he gets elected, he can use that knowledge to his advantage to keep the courts from stymying him.
