I think government should follow laws. And it especially should follow constitution and protect rights of the people:
- first of all the government shouldn't be able to send people to foreign gulag at all, period. I learnt that it's a gray area for (already) convicted people so far, but I think it's just plain wrong
- however if government sends someone to foreign gulag it should be under proper due process (the one outlined for criminal cases). Don't confuse sending people to foreign gulag with deportation, it's not
- deportation should be also happening only with due process, but this one can be relaxed, as it is right now - immigration judges exist separately from Article III courts
The danger of what's happening right now is very clear, anyone (regardless to their citizenship) can be taken off the streets and send to foreign prison. This is mindblowingly bad, and nothing can justify that in lawful state.
The government already (under Biden) was successfully deporting around 1M people a year. While it will take some time to go through the backlog and bring things back to normal, it doesn't require as dire actions as the current administration take. And the fact that Biden wave was comparable to historical ones does prove this successfully.
Your claim about dem voters is obviously false - most of these people have 10s of years before they naturalize (if ever), and even after this both immigrants and latino voters tend to lean republican. Also being in the US illegally isn't a crime. So you calling these people hundreds of thousands of criminals is nothing but scapegoating.
I disapprove Biden's handling of illegal immigration, but I also lived in authoritarian state. And living in a country where you afraid of the government, don't trust laws anymore and accept corruption is way worse than having some Mexican guy doing low income jobs in your city.
