  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The U.S. has been quite accommodating to Mr. Garcia and I am so happy this matter has been settled. While I have been to Africa I have never been to Eswanti, they have a nice temperate climate there.
The title is a lie: Albrego Garcia is not nor has he ever been credibly shown to be a member of any gang including MS 13. He fled to America to escape the gang there that came after him and his family.

They got him to be returned from El Salvador which was such an embarrassment to this administration that they’re now trying to disappear him before he can be proven innocent in court.
Personally, I feel it is a generous step in the right direction for the Trump Admin.

‘Generous’ to deny an accused person a chance at a fair trial??

He is in the country illegally from El Salvador; no trial needed.
He’s being accused of several different crimes. A trial is absolutely needed. How do we know he’s not an innocent man?

Why do you think society has such a low opinion of white republicans?
It's the neo-Marxist leaders of the Democratic Party that have been pushing that line, whites are supposedly the oppressors. Could you imagine if the media reversed that and gave the numbers of murders committed by blacks (last time I saw stats the majority were committed by blacks) and also stated their relatively small percentage of the population? The left would be outraged since they preach "systemic racism" and that blacks are the oppressed.

He was found to be deportable a LONG time ago. He had his day in immigration court. Do you remember when it was pointed out that he could be deported, just not to Venezuela? And he was anyway? Nobody was claiming he couldn't be deported.

No you are claiming his day in court wasn't good enough?

He confessed that he was in the US illegally.

For a party that says that they stand for law and order you guys seem extremely reluctant to try to convict people of the crimes you say they committed.

So you don't want him punished for the crimes that you say he comitted? You're going to give him a free pass on those?

Wow, I wish people would stick up for the poor housewife who was thrown in jail by the Biden Admin for blocking access to an abortion clinic as they do for this guy.

That's true. Back in the day.

But correct me if I'm wrong, some of you want illegal immigrants deported simply because they are illegal immigrants. So if you have someone who has been here for decades, married a citizen, works hard, paid his taxes and raised a family but is here illegally, you just want him deported. And if there's someone you say is human trafficking, a gang member and dealing drugs, then...you just want him deported.

Maybe you can explain the logic of both of them being treated exactly the same.

Once again, the liberal left accomplished nothing. Despite their best attempts, the wife beating gangster is out of the country.
The Swazi are a nice enough lot, certainly more socially accepting than the CECOT gulag in El Salvador
