Accidents like this are required in order to demonstrate the scale of the "will" behind the power.

This should be a un-ignorable reminder of the value of due process. Better a guilty person go free than an innocent person sent to their long, slow, undignified death.

I agree with you.

Now explain how can we scale the due process to deport everyone that entered here illegally in a reasonable timeframe. 15-30 million hearings will take a century to be resolved.

The system is not designed for such massive load in mind.

If it's so important to get done quickly, hire more people to do it. Move resources to solve the most pressing problems first.

Otherwise let law/justice take as long as law/justice takes.

Once again I agree with you. Let's deport them first and make remote immigration courts in every US embassy. This way they have remedy for false positives, and let law/justice take as long as law/justice takes

But how do you know who to deport without due process? Papers please?

(you answered above: Papers Please it is.)

It's an affront to the values America was founded on, and an insult to the Allies who died fighting the Nazis to stop behavior like this
