1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,760 Speaker 1: How fascinating is the coup? Marques say, and how would 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: you like to be Chris peak the minister in charge 3 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: of making the call as to whether to deport people. 4 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: And in a way, this is a singular, little example 5 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: of what the Americans deal with millions of times over 6 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: there seems no dispute. Eighteen year old Darman's parents are overstays. 7 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: Darman was born here, it's his home. So does he 8 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: get deported? And do his parents get deported if you 9 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 1: follow the law. The answer seems simple, yes they do. 10 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: It's not Darmond's fault. His parents broke the law, and 11 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: that's the birth's debate. Of course, in America, the illegals 12 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: come across the border, they have a child, the child 13 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: is an illegal, and yet it's not their fault. It 14 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: is their home, it's the only country they know. A 15 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: democratic administration gives your leniency. A republican not so much. 16 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: There are, as the ra always are questions around how you 17 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: can be here as an overstayer for many, many many years. Also, 18 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: I assume these are decent people. I mean if they 19 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: were criminals or reprobates, the decisions would be a lot easier. 20 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: Of course, so family who work, contribute to the country, 21 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: call it their own. They want to stay. No shortage 22 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,319 Speaker 1: of emotion in the old argument. Now I'm sure part 23 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: of their issue at some point once they technically became 24 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: overstay as they feared getting caught. You know, after I 25 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: don't know, a week, a month, a year, do you 26 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: come clean to your tidy year affairs up? Do you 27 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: plead for leniency, hope for the best, do you try 28 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: your luck? Surely, in doing what they did, they must 29 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: have known the game at some point for some reason 30 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: would be up. Or maybe after eight years or nine years, 31 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: or fifteen or twenty one years, maybe they put it 32 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: to one side. Maybe they would never be found out, 33 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: they thought to themselves. So what to do? The section 34 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: is three seventy eight of the Immigration Act. The Minister 35 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: can apparently do anything he likes. Easy to say, go on, 36 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: let them stay. But you set the precedent, don't you. 37 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: And that's the trouble with powerful jobs and big decisions, 38 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: hardly ever simple. It may well be the hardest thing 39 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: to think ever does unless you get well, Unless he 40 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: lets them stay. Of course that would be easier, make 41 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: you feel good and probably with minimal pushback for more 42 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: from the Mic Asking Breakfast.
