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.
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(I would like Hart-Cellar and IMMACT90 to be repealed; see also Eugene McCarthy’s 1992 book _A Colony of the World_, but McCarthy was, like Buchanan and Perot, an American who cares about America and Americans.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.)
