Uhm, no. You're not understanding the Alien Enemies Act, which has stood the test of time since 1798. The predominant quest has been if this is an applicable use of the law. If Xi comes in and plants a bunch of Chinese agents, do we not have the right to export them with haste, or do we need to sit around waiting for years for them to go through due process?

It is like the joke about Braille keys on a drive up ATM.

I've seen people pull forward so people in the back seat can use an ATM. I've also seen people hop out of the far seat and use them. The latter is more difficult, but both are doable by blind people, so this falls into a candidate for the Ig Nobel Prize.

The law he was trying to leverage doesn't require due process. At this point, it is unclear if he'll be able to use it as it's currently tied up in court. If the courts rule in his favor, they'll be on express lane out of the country. Sell your house now before housing becomes affordable again because of all of the deportations freeing up those houses.

Better idea: tackle it from both ends. Deport people here illegally and arrest and jail the people who hire them. Regarding the immigration angle, we already have the 2nd most open immigration in the world, second only to New Zealand. 1 million people legally immigrate to the US every year. Yeah, I bet you didn't know that it's harder to immigrate to Canada and Australia than to the US. Notably, the four countries with the most open immigration policies, these four countries, are all former British colonies.

Comment Re:You can thank Trump (Score 1) 195

The recession started years ago. Those with significant stock portfolios haven't felt it as earnings went up, but the rest of us have watched our salaries not keep up with inflation and our jobs have gotten cut. It hasn't shown up as a recession in the conventional sense because of the stock portfolio growth. This started when the Biden administration started printing money. You can see the bump downwards after the huge bill that was passed at the beginning of his administration. On the other side, Trump is going to make things worse with his "Big, Beautiful Bill" that cuts essential services so Billionaires can.... Hell, I can't even figure out what they'd do with the money that they haven't already done.

Oh, and I didn't mention: I've had the kidney cancer removed and I've remained clear for 3 years so far. I obviously didn't get that treated at that hospital. #1 think you need to do as a doctor: listen to your patients. They will almost always know more than you about where you were and what you were doing.
