42 years since the Republican won NYC in a federal election. That says all that needs to be said.

The analogy doesn’t change. You get taken into custody for overstaying your visa. That’s the first step of the due process.

I don’t know where you live, but where I line driving without a license is a straight up arrest and fine. You don’t get brought before a magistrate where they present evidence, because the fact you don’t have a license is not up for dispute. There’s no evidence that can change that.

All of this is almost irrelevant though, because the very first step is being detained. That’s the start of the due process.

And what do you think happens after they’ve been taken into custody for overstaying their visa?

Remember - it’s not “alleged” that they’ve overstayed their visa. It’s fact. It’s like if you get caught driving without a license. You get arrested. That’s the process.

You can’t “object” to your visa being expired., just like you can’t “object” to not having a drivers license. These are things that are registered with the government and they can easily check the status of.

Since 1960 the republicans have won New York in the presidential election just 3 times, and not once since 1984. That’s 42 years ago.

It’s a Democrat stronghold if there ever was one.

he spent $100,000 on steel, resin and labor

So the real cost was probably a few grand in materials, at most, and he’s no doubt saying his time is worth $1000/hour or more.

It was a grift all along, especially wanting to display it in a place that just elected a “democratic socialist” mayor, one of the biggest Democrat strongholds.

The due process is for them to leave the country after their visa has ended. The due process is for them to be deported if they don’t. The aren’t owed a trial, their right to be in the country has legally and factually ended.

It’s not a “tiny world view”. Borders and immigration rules exist for a reason. Not understanding the effects of unchecked immigration is the “tiny world view”

They’re not being taken advantage of, they’re not supposed to be in the country working.

They’re getting paid illegal rates because they’re illegally in the country and are hardly going to risk deportation to dob their employer in. If they didn’t work for illegally low rates, the employer would have to pay a citizen the minimum wage.

People staying in a country illegally harms people. It harms the person who misses out on a job because of them. It harms the economy by them not paying taxes and getting paid below minimum wage and/or in cash. It harms services that are used by an extra person who shouldn’t be there.

He was in the country illegally. Do you just not want laws enforced?

Incorrect headline. A grand jury indicted him, not the trump administration.
