If border security matters, why can't anyone be deported?

The latest bad immigration policy idea being mainstreamed into the public consciousness is that deportation of illegal aliens is unwarranted under any circumstances.

After President Donald Trump announced and then delayed an initiative to conduct mass deportations of illegal aliens who have final orders of deportation, opponents pounced on the very idea of removing such individuals.

If breaking into the country and violating our immigration laws doesn't warrant deportation, is there any conduct that does? The implied answer from Speaker Pelosi and her fellow travelers is no.

Had targeted about 2,000 illegal aliens for deportation, but of course there are many, many more.

Despite the massive backlog that has caused some aliens to wait years for their cases to be heard, the aliens facing deportation have already received their due process.

Their circumstances were reviewed by an immigration judge and determined to be short of the standard for a continued stay in the U.S. These aliens now live among us in defiance of a court order, and attempts to execute their lawful deportation are attacked by politicians and the media as the work of jack-booted government agents.

There are many controversial elements of our immigration policies, but enforcing deportation orders should not be one of them.
