ITEMS
1. Comment: Exiling US Citizens - Outdoing ICE agents who
wantonly detain US citizens, CBP agents are now exiling US
citizens (see an op-ed about the sad story of 4-year old Emily
from the San Francisco Chronicle).
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/03/30/ED0A1ILPI7.DTL
This is what happens when too much discretion is given government
employees on issues as serious as a claim of US citizenship. Such
claims and issues related thereto should be examined by a more
rigorous process, such as before a District Court Judge. Ruben
Navarette, the award-winning journalist who wrote the op-ed
referred to above, has a long and distinguished record writing
about immigration issues. He refers to the travails of little
Emily as a deportation. The proper legal term, in our opinion, is
exile. A citizen cannot be deported, only exiled. It is the power
and process of "expedited removal" that makes such exiles
possible, and CBP has exiled dozens of US citizens since
receiving the expedited removal power. It is important to realize
that CBP did not abuse the power, abuse is inherent merely in
possessing the power - since this is too much power to leave to
the Executive Branch's discretion to exercise. Congress should
strip CBP of expedited removal authority, to restore a small dose
of sanity to our immigration system.
