We’ve deported a college student and are keeping Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia?

We deported a Babson College student (CNN):

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is still here and still providing full employment for American attorneys (NYT):

How is it possible that nobody wants to change U.S. immigration laws? I could understand a world in which both of these non-citizens were deported. I could also understand a world of open borders in which neither of these non-citizens were deported. Given the above facts, however, I can’t understand how anyone can argue that our current immigration laws are in the U.S. national interest.

Separately, the noble enricher Kilmar has been enriching the United States for 14 years (since 2011) and hasn’t needed to learn English. Thus, someone who doesn’t speak English turns out to be more powerful than the President of the United States and all federal immigration bureaucracy put together. WBAL:

Abrego Garcia on Friday stopped at a news conference outside the building, escorted by a group of supporters chanting “We are all Kilmar!”

“I stand before you a free man and I want you to remember me this way, with my head held up high,” Abrego Garcia said through a translator. “I come here today with so much hope and I thank God who has been with me since the start with my family.”

He urged people to keep fighting.

“I stand here today with my head held high and I will continue to fight and stand firm against all of the injustices this government has done upon me,” Abrego Garcia said. “Regardless of this administration, I believe this is a country of laws and I believe that this injustice will come to an end.”

After Abrego Garcia spoke, he went through security at the field office, escorted by supporters.

The agency freed him just before 5 p.m. on Thursday in response to a ruling from Xinis, who wrote federal authorities detained him after his return to the United States without any legal basis.

  1. Some of it is symbolic and about setting precedent: If KAAG is not deportable, then no one is.

    But the deeper reason: How much does a (probably) Catholic coed facilitate “demoralization,” “destabilization,” or “crisis” compared to an MS-13 member? Very little, so the Left focuses resources on its most valuable operatives.

    (I would like Hart-Cellar and IMMACT90 to be repealed; see also Eugene McCarthy’s 1992 book _A Colony of the World_, but McCarthy was, like Buchanan and Perot, an American who cares about America and Americans. Current politicians hate Americans and work for either a Communist revolution or colonization by India and China.)

  2. We’re definitely keeping Greenspun, no matter who we deport. He might have to pay taxes in MA instead of FL though.

    • Agreed. We should also make him promise to watch this video (he clearly needs a remedial lesson):

    • “They learned about a country, where life might let them win. They paid the fare to America, and then they melted in.” ROTFL

  3. Philip, according to the NY Times, Garcia’s team “… were baffled why the White House stubbornly refused to send their client to Costa Rica — the one place to which he had agreed to go and which had also agreed to accept him.””

    So he agreed to leave for Costa Rico, but for whatever reason, the US wouldn’t accept this. They wanted to send him to Uganda or other places in Africa, so they kept him locked up for months for no reason.

    All the while, the govt lawyers were uncooperative with the court:

    “In her ruling, she chided the administration for its conduct during those hearings, saying that government lawyers had at various times stonewalled her, disobeyed her direct instructions and even “affirmatively misled” her.”

    So they had a place to send him, but the govt lawyers lied (or got confused?) and said Costa Rica would no longer take him.

    So this story isn’t a case of odd immigration policy. The question is “What is the US govt up to?”

    Why is the Trump admin working so hard to keep him in the US?

    • The courts shouldn’t have any say in the matter at all. Government lawyers shouldn’t have to “cooperate with the courts.” There shouldn’t be government lawyers or litigation in this matter at all. To have a judicial process for deportations, especially with our decrepit legal system, is to effectively ban deportations. Ending judicial supremacy is 10000000000000x more important than ending mass migration, as the latter is impossible to stop without utterly and completely eradicating the former.

  4. “We are all Kilmar!”

    I’m not. What a pathetic sob story on Wokipedia. Boo hoo, Kilmar has a kid with special needs…who the hell doesn’t these days? Where did the original American colonists and their special needs kids have to go for asylum when they were being extorted by thugs, much more powerful and evil than MS-13? They risked their lives, fought their own battles, and gave the rest of the world inspiration on how freedom is accomplished. The people in El Salvador etc. need to decide the gangs are the enemy and organize a resistance. I guess Kilmar has gotten too soft and fat soaking up free immigrant bucks while not learning English to make a good freedom fighter — he needs a U.S. lawyer for his freedom.

    > How is it possible that nobody wants to change U.S. immigration laws?

    Many of us do, but the change needs to be in the public interest of the U.S. Good luck with that in the current political climate, “reform” would probably make it worse. The push to step-up enforcement is progress. Individual cases like Killjoy, who the hell knows what is going on behind the curtain? Immigrants are pawns in all sorts of ways — which is what got us where we are.

    • Not Kilmar, respectfully, I would offer the same advice I offered Phil above. Both Phil and you are thankfully being Replaced by New Citizens with a new and better Value system. These New Citizens rightfully hate everything wrought by Western Civilization, including: endemic white Supremacy and Racism in America, the Hegenomy of the Jews and the Genocide they have committed against the Peace Loving Citizens of Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and the Benevolent Mullahs in Iran, Transvestitism for young children and on and on. Michelle and I are so happy that people like Phil and you are on the Wane and suggest it’s time for you to think about a new Homeland where you can perpetrate the evils I noted above. Allahu Akbar!

    Among this Cadre of New Citizens and their Elite supporters, we also embrace basic human rights like Transvestitism for young children, Equality of Outcomes, Hatred of Police, and on and on.

    Michelle and I are so happy that people like Phil and you are on the Wane and suggest it’s time for you to think about a new Homeland where you can perpetrate the evils I noted above. Allahu Akbar!

    • Hi Ex-King Barry,

      I have a bone to pick with you. Why are my marketplace ObamaDontCare premiums increasing 4X to $3000/month? That’s nearly as much as the Starbucks coffee budget for an El Salvador refugee on SNAP. Why is ObamaDontCare not offering me a catastrophic plan and committing age discrimination?

      If you tell me it is because mean Republicans want the subsidies to end, I’m not going to subsidize the lawn care on your estate on Martha’s Vinyard by buying your new book or attending Shell-Shell’s lecture tour, “Post-Woke Wokeness, a Strong black Woman’s Perspective (the only one allowed).”

    • Red Museum, one of my favorite expressions is Caveat Emptor! With that in mind, too bad you didn’t listen to Jonathan Gruber, the MIT expert who developed Obamacare for me. He was very clear that the passage of the law was thanks to the “stupidity of the American voter.”

    • Ex-royal Majesty Barry,

      Just for that, I’m not going to buy your “The Audacity of Dope: Yes, I Inhaled Deep” or “Stupid: Hope’s Retarded Cousin”. And I’m well aware of how stupid the American voters are (like your readers)…they and voting box tampering elected you. I guess I’m going to have to go to the doctor down the street who lost his license for being drunk during surgery, but will still remove a bullet at 3AM for a bottle of sherry if a friend steadies his hands and holds his glass.

      Deepest regards and salutations, Your Worship. I remain, Red Museum — your servant. Bye now.

    • Red Museum, I’m meeting my friend Mustapha Kharbouch on Gibbs Street in Brookline, MA tonight and Mustapha invited Phil yesterday. Can we all get together and I’ll make introductions to Mustapha and his colleagues? We can discuss Obamacare, among “other” things. Allahu Akbar!

    • Sorry I missed the soire tonight, B. Had to wash my shaved head, then work with my punk band on some Minor Threat covers. Also, in my hood “Bye now” means the same thing as “Let’s do this again soon, Biff! Sorry I don’t have money to lend you.” on the Vineyard. Like “Goodbye forever.” I have to get up early tomorrow to pay for the privilege of being an aging, white, upper-middle-class man squeezed for every dime to support your friends and their unproductive laying-around as well as your Obamascam healthcare “legacy” compromise. Toodles, good talk bro.

  6. It seems the Government has botched this guy’s deportation thus opening the door for real legal challenges that ultimately may be successful. Andrew McCarthy who is a serious legal commentator and former top SDNY prosecutor — and hardly a lefty explained this somewhere. The parade of errors by the Government in trying to deport this guy seems to show remarkable incompetence in the DOJ – probably misguided efforts to keep the boss satisfied.
