Supreme Court Takes On Noncitizen Deportation Deadlines
Well, folks, it looks like our esteemed Supreme Court has decided to grace us with their presence in the realm of immigration law once again. On November 12, 2024, they’ll be hearing the case of Velazquez v. Garland, a real nail-biter that could reshape how noncitizens appeal their deportation orders. Because apparently, we don’t have enough on our plates with illegal immigration; now we need to worry about making it easier for those https://twitter.com/alasecofstate/status/1851662463730614455?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1851662463730614455%7Ctwgr%5E087f98ee2e78ccf0c19dbe74877298637aa7db5b%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ffreedomherald.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D2695action%3Deditfacing deportation to stay in the country.
At the heart of this legal circus is a conflict between the Tenth and Ninth Circuits – you know, those bastions of constitutional interpretation. The Tenth Circuit, bless their hearts, believes in following the rules to the letter, enforcing a strict 30-day appeal deadline. The Ninth Circuit, on the other hand, in its infinite wisdom, thinks weekends and holidays should extend the deadline. Heaven forbid we make noncitizens follow the same calendar as the rest of us hardworking Americans.
The Case of Pierre Riley: A Sob Story in the Making
Let’s take a moment to consider the plight of Pierre Riley, a Jamaican national whose appeal was tossed out faster than yesterday’s garbage because he couldn’t meet a simple deadline. Now, we’re supposed to wring our hands and worry about the “persecution” he might face if sent back to Jamaica. Never mind the persecution American citizens face daily from rising crime rates and dwindling job opportunities, often exacerbated by unchecked immigration.
This case isn’t just about deadlines; it’s about the fundamental question of how much we’re willing to bend over backwards for noncitizens. The Supreme Court’s decision could impact how administrative agencies handle appeals, potentially opening the floodgates for more leniency in our already swiss-cheese immigration system.
The Broader Implications: A Slippery Slope
Now, let’s not kid ourselves. This case is being painted as a matter of “justice” and “due process.” But what about justice for American citizens? What about due process for the victims of crimes committed by those who shouldn’t be here in the first place? The left would have us believe that every deportation case is a potential human rights violation, conveniently forgetting that deportation is a consequence of breaking our laws.

This whole debacle ties into the broader issue of expedited removal, a process that’s been in place since 1996. For nearly three decades, we’ve had a system to quickly remove those who have no right to be here. But apparently, that’s not good enough for the bleeding hearts who think every illegal immigrant deserves a red-carpet welcome and a lengthy legal battle on the taxpayer’s dime.
The Bottom Line: American Interests First
As the Supreme Court ponders this case, let’s hope they remember who they’re supposed to be serving: the American people. We need a immigration system that prioritizes our safety, our economy, and our rule of law. If noncitizens facing deportation can’t meet a simple 30-day deadline, perhaps that’s a sign they’re not cut out for the responsibility of residing in our great nation.
In the end, this case isn’t just about procedural deadlines or circuit court disagreements. It’s about whether we, as a nation, will continue to prioritize the interests of noncitizens over those of our own citizens. It’s about whether we’ll allow our legal system to be further bogged down by appeals and extensions, all in the name of a misguided sense of global responsibility. Let’s hope the Supreme Court makes the right call and puts America first. After all, isn’t that what they’re there for?
