CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 7, 2025
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS TELLING PEOPLE WHO ENTERED THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY THEY CAN SELF DEPORT, GET A ONE-WAY PLANE TICKET BACK TO THEIR COUNTRIES OF ORIGIN AND RECEIVE A $1000 PAYMENT TO HELP WITH EXPENSES. IT’S A LOT CHEAPER THAN THE ESTIMATED $17 THOUSAND IT COSTS TO ROUND UP JUST ONE OF THE 11 MILLION ALIENS AND PUT THEM ON COMMERCIAL AIRPLANES.
HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY KRISTI NOEM HAS REMINDED THE IMMIGRANTS THEY CAN USE A DHS APP TO REGISTER FOR THE PROGRAM. THEY WILL GET THE $1000 WHEN THEY PROVE THEY HAVE LEFT THE COUNTRY. OTHERWISE, SHE SAYS, THEY WILL BE FOUND AND JAILED. SHE SAYS IF THE ILLEGALS VOLUNTARILY GO HOME, THEY CAN REGISTER TO RETURN LEGALLY AND IF THEY CAN SHOW THEY HAVE NO CRIMINAL BACKGROUND POSSIBLY WIN ADMISSION.
THE REST OF THIS DEBATE HAS TO DO WITH DUE PROCESS. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS RIGHT THAT IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO HOLD INDIVIDUAL TRIALS FOR THE 11 MILLION ILLEGALS. DISTRICT JUDGES HAVE MADE RULINGS THAT AFFECT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, NOT ONLY ON THIS ISSUE. THE SUPREME COURT NEEDS TO NARROW THE DEFINITION OF DUE PROCESS. THERE IS NO RIGHT TO COME TO ANY COUNTRY AND THAT INCLUDES THE UNITED STATES. AND THERE IS NO RIGHT TO DO SO WHILE BREAKING OUR LAWS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
