“It’s true that all these people are deportable, but that doesn’t mean they should all have equal value,” said Cecilia Muñoz, a former policy adviser to Obama who helped shape the administration’s tiered enforcement approach.

“By crowding the courts with all kinds of people, you’re creating a resource problem,” Muñoz said. “If you apply that logic to local police forces, you’re saying that every robber and rapist is the same as a jaywalker. And then you’re clogging your courts with jaywalkers.”

This is exactly the kind of thinking that got us into this mess. They all have to go, it doesn't matter what order you do it in. If you start wasting time over which one has to go forst you'll never accomplish anything. This is a standard stalling tactic used to derail the immigration control system.

This is also a false equivalency. These illegal immigrants aren't being deported because they are a rapist, robber, or jaywalker; they are being deported for immigrating here illegaly. They could be the most brilliant Polish doctor in the world or best toilet scrubbing Mexican around, they all have to go back.

Does it really need the courts though?

We're not locking them up for years, we're sending them back home. It'd be as if we had an invading army and instead of shooting them we arrested them and tried each and every soldier.

Due process (gotta check if they got papers, if they do if they're valid/real) to make sure we don't deport tax paying citizens is important. I believe they are over exaggerating when they say clogging the courts, i've never heard that argument once and I don't believe this person is honest
