The following is a news brief from the AP for June 3rd. I want to make sure you notice this line:
"The change lets the authorities return illegal immigrants to their home countries without a hearing." Without a hearing (a basic right in most legal systems). Why - because they aren't human and don't deserve rights? This is dehumanizing and horridly unjust (also racist - I'm guessing a few illegal immigrants I know from Europe wont be treated this way).

Texas: Families Are Deported
(AP)
Ten families were deported to Honduras under a new policy allowing federal authorities to speed the return of some illegal immigrant families, Immigration and Customs Enforcement said. Of the 120 illegal immigrants flown back to Honduras from San Antonio on Thursday, 21 were part of families sent back under the new policy, the agency said. The change lets the authorities return illegal immigrants to their home countries without a hearing.
