I have the same thoughts about @SlowToWrite (Samuel Sey) that I have with all undocumented (or potentially undocumented) immigrants who are living productive otherwise law-abiding lives in the country. 1) Detention is a last resort, not a first resort. 2) If there is *evidence* that they are flight risk (not just suspicion due to immigration status) use an ankle monitor. 3) Detain them if they've committed felonies or are otherwise a threat to the public. Oh, and deportation isn't always the right answer. If a person is married to an American, has a job, and has American kids here then it's usually going to be bad for us and for them to deport. We should *want* productive, peaceful people and families in this country. Border security is very good. We should control who gets in this country and limit immigration to a pace that sustainable, doesn't overwhelm social services, and doesn't overtax communities. Interior enforcement -- especially when dealing with people who are living productive lives here -- can be more perilous. There's lots of consensus to get rid of criminals. Let's do that and then talk about the folks who are living good lives here in the U.S. I think the Reagan approach in 1986 (legalization plus more border security) was correct. We failed, however, at border security in the years and decades that followed, and that is a key reason for our present crisis.

Why are we even debating whether a man of good character with an American wife and American kids "belongs" in America? Of course he does. If the law doesn't welcome that, it's a bad law and it should be changed. what are we even doing here lol

This is also my own experience. Every time a dog has jumped on me, or nipped me, even drawn blood, it was in the wake of an owner telling me that their dog is well behaved. Dog owners will often insist that their dog is a good dog immediately *after* it has done something to demonstrate that it is poorly trained. At the hearing regarding the dog that recently attacked my son, the owner protested that his dogs are friendly and well-trained and, “you can ask anybody.” Presumably by “anybody,” he doesn’t include the people who were complaining to the city that they were attacked by his dog. Every single dog owner says that they have a good dog. They all think that they have a trained dog. They all think their dogs are well-behaved. They blurt out, “he’s friendly” as their dog bites somebody as if they have Tourette’s. Hearing this from a dog owner has absolutely zero value. So far as I can tell, what dog owners mean when they say that their dog is friendly and well trained is that they like their dog. It means nothing more than that.

Today, the Fifth Circuit stripped immigrants facing detention in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi of their right to due process. People who have lived in our communities for years, even decades, can now be locked away with no chance to see a judge or ask for bond. It’s a radical departure from decades of legal precedent and violates the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, which protects everyone. This ruling leaves tens of thousands of people imprisoned without the government ever having to say why. It is wrong, and we will keep fighting.

My daughter just got new shoes, and she did show me how fast she is. But I know it won't be much longer until it's the last time.

Hey, don't forget to ask people running for office this crucial question that will tell you more about them then they'd ever honestly reveal. "What's your favorite gun?" The answer will tell you enough about them to determine the truth about them.
