Because when I say pull it up by the roots I mean fire everyone down to the janitor, scorched earth, and all those involved with enforcement and senior leadership positions are not eligible for rehire. All others can apply for openings as they come up.
The problem is there has never been any political willpower to properly address immigration properly. It's completely screwed.

Did you know that immigration judges are not actual judges in the judicial branch but DOJ employees?
It's why they can get away with doing "hearings" for 2 year olds without a lawyer or advocate or even a translator.
The immigration system in this country is broke and needs to be fixed from the ground up.

That's ludicrous that no one is there to enforce immigration laws. It's not feasible and very stupid. Wanderlust988 Jan 14 #19

a kinder, gentler deportation process, perhaps? WhiskeyGrinder Jan 14 #20
