I know users here don't believe they should be here in the first place to which I agree but from an optics perspective this isn't great for Trump and anti immigrant action in the US if leftists are able to effectively weaponize it. Deporting them is one thing (I'm not sure on the mechanics of it but surely it can be done without sending them to El Salvador) but sending them to the prison in El Salvador on accusations of being gang members is something that can be easily exploited and is immoral.
> What is your opinion on these migrants being deported to the prison in El Salvador without a criminal record?
They entered illegally. They're not citizens thus have no constitutional protections. Some of them "applying for asylum" ex post facto does not negate the fact that they entered illegally, ignoring the law of the land and attempted to capitalize on misplaced idealism a la "ᴹᵁʰ ᴰᵁᵉ ᴾʳᴼᶜᴱˢˢ!"

ᵐᵁᴴ ᴼᴾᵀᴵᶜˢ! Why am I not surprised that you're a timid, shoegazing bitch?
> if leftists are able to effectively weaponize it
They *have* effectively weaponized it, you hapless blowhard. Case in point: you. You're *terrified* of optics because you still think big tent politics *works*.
> I'm not sure on the mechanics of it but surely it can be done without sending them to El Salvador
If they came from El Salvador... they go back to El Salvador. I'm not sure why you're having a difficult time with that concept.

See? You're terrified of reality because leftists have successfully weaponized ᵐᵘᴴ ᴼᵖᵀᴵᶜˢ! against you.
Let me break this down, succinctly, so that you're able to process it:
They broke the law and deserve whatever they get. Due process only applies to *citizens*, not any foreign invader who jumps the fence and petitions for "asylum". Moreover, there are *specific* requirements for asylum, on the grounds of political persecution by the country they're fleeing from. Jumping the border and skipping the queue != asylum.
You're either a limp-wristed cuckservative or a paid purveyor of agitprop posted up in a botfarm somewhere near Tel Aviv. Eat shit and die.
