ADMINISTRATIVE LAW

by David Nuttle

With a large and complex government, the U. S. needs administrative law and judges to administer all the regulations and laws as well as enforcing all the legal mandates. There are problems that come with the efforts; e. g. due process, accountability, balance of power, lack of special legal experts needed, judicial erosion, changing rules, and unpredictability.

Some of administrative law seems extreme. As an example, INA Regulation 301 requires American citizens having a child overseas must appear in the U. S. before an Immigration Judge and present documentation and a witness to establish that their child is an American citizen. Upon the Judge's favorable ruling, the child is so declared. Friends of mine, a solid American couple, had a son born overseas. The son matured and was appointed to West Point but could not be accepted without proof of citizenship. My friends were not aware of this legal requirement and had to spend a small fortune to meet said requirements after a delay of several years.

Administrative law can be a major burden. We now have radical Dems who demand that illegal migrant, some 18 million who illegally entered the U. S. under POTUS Biden's open borders policy, be given due process before they can be deported. Many of these illegals are known to be criminals, drug dealers, human traffickers, and terrorists and may need to be tried, convicted, and incarcerated. However, the U. S. lacks the resources and Judges needed to give 18 illegal migrants due process. Some are now having claims of asylum fully evaluated, but that effort is an overload for our administrative law system.

Those who weave a tangled web need to take care that they do not become entangled in their own web!!!
