What if the fight wasn't about immigration but was about "due process", e.g. Some people fortunately (for them) have the benefit of unlimited resources and are able to delay and obstruct the justice system (e.g. the current president) and as a result get the maximum benefit of "due process". Others simply want to have a hearing before the courts before a verdict is rendered. Is that too much too ask?
My take is, the people we need to win over don't know or care much about due process, or anything abstract. For now, they want immigrants, especially supposed criminals, rounded up and sent away. We can argue "Yes ok but due process" and they will see more delays, less action, like they perceived with Biden. So no, it isn't too much to ask legally. But politically its not a winning fight for us. We need to understand the difference.
