I wasn’t implying that. I specifically mentioned walking to the border. I was saying what you did in fewer words.
The wait times for these judgments were turning into multi-year long stints in the country. And there’s no guarantee someone would show up for their hearing (although if the numbers are to be believed, they usually did).
If Trump is doing this without the popular support of the people, then yeah, he’s behaving like a king. But this is what conservatives largely voted him in for. Among people voting for Trump, immigration is usually their first or second concern besides maybe “the economy” — and the two aren’t divorced from each other. So I don’t think that’s particularly anti-democratic like you say.
