Some Americans, including judges, Democrats, and news outlets, demand that the U.S. government bring back Kilmar Armando Abrego García, an illegal immigrant deported to his home country, revealing dysfunction and corruption in our immigration, judicial, and political systems. National Review claims no one denies that the government violated the law in deporting García, but that’s false—many argue the deportation was legally justified under federal immigration law, such as the Immigration and Nationality Act, which mandates removal for illegal entry. Illegal entry violates federal law, and deportation must be enforced consistently, with no exceptions.
Do you think the government should bring back illegal immigrants deported to their home countries, even though it would mean flying them back to the U.S., granting legal proceedings, and potentially allowing them to stay despite their prior illegal entry?
