Border law meets theater

So now the court gets to review whether people who entered illegally can be detained without a bond hearing while deportation drags on, which somehow counts as a shocking constitutional crisis in polite circles. The really funny part is the system spent years pretending illegal entry becomes spiritually erased if you stay long enough, get paperwork, and keep your head down, and now everyone acts stunned that the legal fiction is being challenged. Open-border politics always works like this: create the gray zone on purpose, then cry cruelty when anyone tries to enforce the line.
