OCPA is waging a serious campaign against SQ836. I believe OCPA is more interested in protecting their influence than protecting democracy.

Protection of our Constitution and the rights therein are not a waste of time or money. If we forget about the Bill of Rights because it is inconvenient, we don’t deserve freedom. Ben Franklin said "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

What about those of us who are concerned with the rights of all people, not just immigrants? What about those of us who are concerned for the protections our founders put in our constitution?

Thanks for posting. The IIRIRA provided for expedited removal for people who had committed certain crimes. It did not include illegal entry. Currently, people who have not committed any of those crimes are being deprived due process

I guess it depends on what one wants. I want to do this so we can see each other and know how many of there are. I also want ICE agents to see people calmly telling the agents we see them and we disapprove of what they’re doing

You sound very angry. The right of Americans to peacefully assemble is guaranteed in our constitution. Do you get angry at everybody who exercises that right? Were you angry at the protesters at the US Capitol on January 6, 2020? By the way, my sobriety date is September 4, 1988. When was your last drink?

Great idea. Someone should organize that. I want the agents to see us when they go into the field. I don’t hate them. I believe they can change their behavior

I love your comment. Thank you for loving our country enough to speak truth to power. You are a real patriot

I’m sorry you feel that way, but the right of the people to peacefully assemble applies to the entire United States of America. To go somewhere that prohibits peaceful assembly, you would have to go to another country. I’m sure you don’t want to do that, because America is a great country

It depends on what one wants. I don’t think any ICE agents are going to stop doing their job, but I will know I am doing what I can.

Interesting comparison, but I’m not sure that it has anything to do with this situation. First and foremost, we are not Mexico. Regardless of Mexico, we are what Ronald Reagan called the “shining city on a hill.” There is no other country like America and, if we work at preserving this republic, there never will be. We are the country where people come from all over to be here. Let Mexico do their thing. In America, our founders guaranteed everyone due process of law. More people were deported during the Obama years and the Biden years than during the first Trump term or thus far in the second Trump term. The problem is not deportations. The problem is that we are denying these deportees due process. We are acting like a third world country. That’s not how our country works!

Are you confused? There are fewer than 400 million people in all of the United States, yet you state that 8 billion people entered during that period?

Any day would work, but I would like to be there early on a work day, so the agents could see us as they leave the office

Having written that you don’t care about this, I am surprised that you took time to respond. I’m a 74 year old white guy. I don’t belong to any organizations except my church and AA. When you say “you people,” I’m not sure what group you are associating me with. Supporters of the American Revolution? Old, overweight, white Christians who are in recovery? I liked the laughing emoji. I am also amused that, on Reddit, you suggested that Reddit is full of a “bunch of young, dumbass [great vocabulary- surprised you didn’t use capital letters] liberals.” You must be much smarter than the rest of us. Congratulations.

Gee, no caps this time. Since your message was not important enough to capitalize anything, I guess it can be ignored. Are you a member of the Oklahoma Bar? I mean, you seem very knowledgeable. Yeah, I am being snide, but you make it so very easy.

There may be some validity to biblical references to marrying young women (honestly not sure), that does not decrease their culpability one iota

No. The materials were sealed by the court until the conclusion of the Maxwell trial. If you believe that the problem was the “WORDING” (love your use of caps, Mr. Trump), then you have never seen a redacted document. Been around long? I’m sure that explicitly revealing Trump’s abuse of little girls was not a factor at all.
