Nope.

Not even close.

pursuit of record removal numbers.

Speed Over Fairness: Deportation Under The Obama

When removing individuals from this country - permanently severing them from their homes, families, and community-which is more 
important: fairness or speed?

The United States has a proud tradition of individualized due process. No matter who you are, everyone deserves their day in 
court. This is especially important for immigrants, many of whom might qualify for prosecutorial discretion given their 
considerable roots in the United States, but who will only get that consideration if a judge can review their individual case and 
decide whether or not they must leave. This judicial review - a brief moment of individuality and impartiality within a system 
that often ignores both - is critical. Yet alarming new evidence has surfaced that in 3 out of 4 removal cases this does not 
happen at all.

Yesterday, the Migration Policy Institute ("MPI") released the report, The Deportation Dilemma: Reconciling Tough and Humane 
Enforcement, on the Obama administration's immigration enforcement record. One of MPI's principal findings is that THE 
DEPORTATION SYSTEM HAS DRAMATICALLY CHANGED over the past 19 years - moving from a judicial system prior to 1996, where the vast 
majority of people facing deportation had immigration court hearings, to a system today of nonjudicial removals, ... 


... WHERE 75 PERCENT OF PEOPLE REMOVED DO NOT SEE A JUDGE BEFORE BEING EXPELLED FROM THE U.S.

The numbers, are staggering: in 1995 - CLINTON, 1,400 immigrants were subject to NONJUDICIAL REMOVALS REPRESENTING, 3 PERCENT OF 
TOTAL DEPORTATIONS. By FY, 2012 that number, had sharply increased, to 313,000 nonjudicial removals - an all-time high.

Under today's (May 1, 2014) removal system, only one quarter of all people facing expulsion get to present their case before an 
immigration judge. These judges, employed by the Justice Department, are experts in immigration law. They conduct formal court 
hearings where they hear live witnesses, review documentary evidence, and evaluate applications for immigration relief.

By contrast, NONJUDICIAL REMOVALS ARE FAST-TRACK PROCEEDINGS wholly controlled by the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS"), 
sometimes involving only a single border agent who acts as both judge and jury. Those facing nonjudicial removal have no lawyer 
and no chance to appeal.

THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION HAS PRIORITIZED SPEED OVER FAIRNESS in the removal system, SACRIFICING INDIVIDUALIZED DUE PROCESS in the 
pursuit of record removal numbers.

A deportation system that HERDS 75 PERCENT OF PEOPLE THROUGH FAST-TRACK, STREAMLINED REMOVAL is a system DEVOID OF FAIRNESS and 
individualized DUE PROCESS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome, " or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was 
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people 
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
