The Double Standard

Here’s another sad reason why more and more people are losing confidence in the American legal system.

We all saw the video several weeks ago when hundreds of illegal migrant men decided they were coming into the United States no matter what. They pushed barriers out of their way and assaulted law enforcement agents who attempted to stop them.

They believe they have a right to invade our country, and no National Guard soldier, or Texas Ranger, or state trooper is going to stop them. That’s how committed they are to breaking our laws.

The public outrage was so strong that Texas officials started arresting them. More than 200 migrants were arrested on rioting charges.

But a judge in Texas just released them all. Someone forgot to file the appropriate paperwork. So, a couple hundred men who began their lives in America by attacking law enforcement officers are out of jail due to a technicality over paperwork.

At the same time, a trial in New York City is underway based on an alleged paperwork technicality for which the statute of limitations has long since passed. This trial violates the rule of law every second it continues. Every rule of justice is being violated.

But it ends up that the former president of the United States has less protection under the laws of the United States than a bunch of guys born in barrios south of the border who think you owe them a living.  Maybe Donald Trump could hire their lawyers!
