Trump slams due process: ‘We’re the only country that has judges’

On Fox News, Trump called the use of courts 'corrupt' and 'horrible.' 

Trump’s contempt for the rule of law was on full display when he mocked the very idea of due process for immigrants, and seemed to suggest ending immigration courts altogether. 

In an interview that aired during Thursday morning’s “Fox & Friends,” host Brian Kilmeade pointed out that Trump’s crackdown has contributed to a monumental backlog in immigration courts. 

“You need more judges,” Kilmeade said. “How close is that?” 

“Think of it, we are the only country, essentially, that has judges,” Trump said. “They want to hire thousands of judges. Other countries have, it’s called security people. People that stand there and say ‘You can’t come in. 

“We have thousands of judges, and they need thousands of more judges,” Trump said. “The whole system is corrupt, It’s horrible. So, yeah, you need thousands of judges based on this crazy system.” 

“Who ever heard of a system where you put people through trials?” Trump asked. “Where do these judges come from? You know, a judge is a very special person. How do you hire thousands of people to be a judge? So, it’s ridiculous. We’re going to change the system. We have no choice for the good of our country.” 

Trump’s ignorance of immigration courts is staggering, even by Trump’s standards. There are only just over three hundred immigration judges in the United States, and the number of new judges needed to address the backlog is between 200 and 250, not “thousands.” 

And Trump is also wrong about the level of due process afforded in immigration courts, where the government is not required to provide legal counsel and, children often end up representing themselves in perfunctory proceedings....

If it was a stupid office plant that drools and soils it's pot.

It stands to reason that since it takes literally years to legally immigrate here, speeding up that process would reduce illegal immigration. 

So, is it that we just don't want immigration period? Is that what's really going on here?

I doubt if someone could come here legally and it didn't take forever to do so, very many would come illegally and make less money and be subject to deportation at any time.

It's moronic.  We should have open green card/work permits and path to citizenship for any, that pass security screening, that want to come here.  We are foolish and idiotic to keep tap dancing around this immigration issue.

How about they earn their way and are paid appropriately, and pay taxes appropriately.

It is flat out stupid how we handle it.

It is stupid how we handle it. And an open door policy with no limits is just as stupid. Unless of course they all become farmers and drive down the cost of producing food. Im sure your good with that.

Every western nation has representatives overseeing immigration in an adversarial and independent manner. In America they’re called judges. In europe these “judges” are known to be executive branch representatives. Now as for the judges trump refers too, they aren’t judges under article 3 because they aren’t part of the judicial branch. They’re part of the executive branch just like in Europe. There’s also not thousands of immigration judges. There’s about 300. So once again the big fucking liar shows his true colors and those who favor liars follow him.

The choices aren't 'open door policy' and 'current shitty system that encourages illegal entry'.  This is a false dichotomy.

Why do so many of you guys use these logical fallacies?
