Let's consult the constitution? How do we identify and prove illegal gang affiliation. I've read over that document a few times already but have yet to find an answer to that one. But that is what I keep hearing on the news, proof needs to be provided before we can say anyone belongs to any of these illegal gangs. Tattoos aren't proof, wearing gang colors isn't proof. Being arrested for committing crimes isn't proof, that only means you are being singled out, probably a racist thing. Even when you are guilty it isn't your fault, you are being marginalized, unemployed because of your tattoos and you can't speak English. But if we could prove that you are a gang member that would be different. The thing is though, you have to identify yourself in that fashion. If you don't identify as an MS-13 or Tren de Aragua member how could we know? Heck, we are supposed to ask our five year old children what gender they are, you can't just assign them a gender. And you can't assign those people gang membership either.
Now I'm always hearing about the global community. How we are supposed to help each other out, providing aid and assistance. We are all just one big family, globally speaking. Well, if you are a criminal in your home nation, wouldn't you also be a criminal in my nation? I mean, we are all in the same family, right? Seems to me if your criminal is in my nation I should return him/her to you, its' the neighborly thing to do. If you are a criminal in my country, you know by illegally crossing the border, I should also return you to your home country, my rule is we don't allow criminals in the country. Your country can decide if you did anything to violate their laws.
But back to this requirement of proof. Are their membership roles for these criminal gangs? Are they issued a license, a permit or something that identifies them as bona-fide members? I keep reading the Constitution but I can't find anything in there. There is the beyond a reasonable doubt thing. So what is reasonable? If you are in my country illegally, can't speak the language, and have half your body covered in tattoos identifying yourself with a gang, its' reasonable to assume you are a gang member. That's my thinking on that anyway. If I wear a red ball cap I will be associated with this so called MAGA movement. Everyone thinks that is a reasonable assumption. If I'm carrying a Pride flag it is assumed I support the LGBTQ+ community, that seems like a reasonable thing.
Reasonable doubt. It is the highest standard. It is part of the 14th amendment. Reasonable doubt must show evidence so convincing that no other reasonable verdict could be assumed. That is getting to be a very difficult thing to prove these days as we redefine what is reasonable. Is Bruce Jenner now a woman? Many will say so, I have a reasonable doubt about that. I believe there is evidence to the contrary, even though I haven't personally observed such. If I were a member of a jury I would request to see that evidence. Case closed beyond a reasonable doubt. Is it really reasonable to believe millions of people, traveling in caravans across thousands of miles are really fleeing for their lives? All while carrying their cell phones, back packs, food supplies, medical supplies, infant children and wearing designer clothing. That doesn't seem like a reasonable explanation to me. Sounds more like someone financing an expedition for their own gain in some fashion.
So just where did all these people go now that the border is closed? Strange I haven't heard a thing about any migrant caravans invading any other nations. They were all just passing through as many as three other countries, all of them I guess unfriendly, unwilling to help, or going to kill them! Are all those people now being suppressed, abused, misused, beaten, enslaved, murdered and subject to sexual assaults? That is what they were fleeing, right? Wasn't that the reason? I can only assume they have scattered like rats on a sinking ship, seeking high ground wherever they find it. Or, maybe they just went back where they came from, that seems a bit more reasonable to me. In fact, if you are in my country illegally that is exactly where you should go, back where you came from. If you are a visitor, a guest, or just a temporary resident and commit a serious crime in my country, back you go. You will , of course, first face American justice for that crime, then deported to your home nation for whatever punishment they deem appropriate for that crime. Being one big community, you know a global community, the punishment should be the same. Seems reasonable to me.
