US President Donald Trump said to give everyone a trial "would take, without exaggeration, 200 years." Lawyers for Venezuelan migrants have demanded 30 days' notice for migrants before deporting them.

The homegrowns should be given a fitness test of doing at least 30% the workload of an immigrant to stay in the US. Less than that, you really don’t love “your” country. #gfys

In highschool back in the early naughties, I worked at a chicken hatchery as one of like 3 non-management non-immigrants. Once they realized I wasn’t lazy or a rat, despite being management’s offspring, they let me in on the secret that they speak English pretty fluently. But we pretended I was speaking Spanish for another full year so they could feign ignorance (they were teaching me Spanish, brought me food they made and even invited me to their homes to see how they live… eye opening for a teen..)

That whole thing means I can totally skip the test, right? Since I did the full workload? Or does the empathy part of that negate the results and mean I failed?
