In a recent tweet, Trump said, "We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country. When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came." Of course, this has resulted in panic and hysteria. But let's look at this a little differently.
One day, you come home to find that Walter has setup a tent in your backyard. You call the police and ask them to remove him because he is trespassing. The police arrive and say they will not remove him without due process. So, Walter gets to continue trespassing in your backyard for as long as it takes for a court date. Illegal aliens are trespassers. Taking them off the property necessarily means kicking them out of the country. As it happens, there are US Consulates in Matamoros (across Rio Grande from Brownsville, TX), Nuevo Laredo (across Rio Grande from Laredo, TX), Ciudad Juarez (across Rio Grande from El Paso, TX), Nogales (across the border from Nogales, AZ), and Tijuana (across the border from San Diego, CA). Drop them at the nearest one and let them make their case. If you reward trespassers by letting them continue to trespass at your expense, you are encouraging more trespassers.
Do we let the drunk driver continue to drive until his day in court? In Texas, the driver's license can be confiscated on the spot. In the case of trespassers, they are escorted off the property. In this case, the property is US soil. If that was government policy, we wouldn't need a wall.
