And Trump’s fault. Because it’s mean to detain and potentially deport people who are unlawfully present in the United States. It’s mean that we have laws and stuff. Don’t be misled by the headline of this piece written by Viviana Andazola Marquez as to where the Blame lies
I Accidentally Turned My Dad Into Immigration Services
This month my father and I drove to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Centennial, Colo., for a routine visit. I offered to drive because my dad was too nervous and excited to take the wheel. “How long have we waited for this day?†he asked me. He had been told to come in for a final interview before he could get approved for legal permanent residency.
But the meeting turned into a nightmare. Several hours after we arrived, I found myself alone, in disbelief. My dad had been detained and was facing deportation proceedings.
Viviana describes what went down at the immigration office, ending with the detainment. We learn that her dad is an illegal alien unlawfully present since 1988, who has raised 4 anchor babies, and that he’s been a “perfect citizen” or something, and that
Regardless of his status, he has earned the right to work hard without the constant anxiety of being apprehended. His children — of whom I am the oldest — deserve that peace of mind too.
Uh huh. Her dad also wanted to follow the rules. Except for the ones about not being unlawfully present in the United States. And under an order of exclusion, and older term for deportation order. Because he had already been deported once previously. And became a wanted felon by recrossing in the U.S. illegally. Unsurprisingly, you do not learn this in the op-ed, but from the link in the 2nd paragraph of the article (as shown above).
What happened to him is not an appropriate application of the law — it is cruelty. It’s not just my dad’s story. Under President Trump, every undocumented person living in the United States is a target, a deportation priority. This is a grave national security mistake. As this administration creates more distrust and fear in our communities, it is not encouraging people to be honest with law enforcement agents. Undocumented people want to cooperate with the law, but there is no path for them to do so without jeopardy of detainment or removal.
So many families like mine are threatened by a deeply flawed immigration system in the United States, which is basically enforced in an ad hoc manner. If upholding the law is important, pulling families apart is no way to do it.
See? It’s all your fault. And Trump’s. Because people who break our laws and enter our country, even after being told “no” and being previously deported, are super awesome or something. It’s totally cruel that the law should be applied to law breakers. Viviana is “majoring in ethnicity, race and migration”: anyone want to be that she’s an SJW would wants people arrested for mean speech? Or the other stuff that SJWs rail against? If “undocumented people want to cooperate with the law”, well, then they should self deport.
From the aforementioned link to the Denver Post
In a statement, ICE confirmed that Andazola Morales was arrested at the USCIS office Oct. 12. “Mr. Andazola was previously deported from the United States in March 1997,†ICE spokesman Gregory Palmore said via email. “His previous removal order has been reinstated, and he remains in ICE custody pending his removal from the United States.â€
Pretty clear cut. Unlawfully present after being previously deported. They are not allowed to apply for legal status. Again, Viviana forgot to mention this in her op-ed.
Viviana said her father’s detention is creating a hardship for the family, but she worries about its larger implications.
“I think that it creates a distress, not just for my dad, but for the immigrant community who are trying to do right by the law,†she said. “For agents like ICE and USCIS to be bringing people in under the pretense that they are going to be able to do right by the law, and instead detaining them — it sends an awful message.â€
See? It was America’s fault then, especially immigration officials, rather than her dad’s fault for intentionally violating U.S. law and sovereignty. Do we blame the convenience store when a person is arrested for shop-lifting? Personally, I’m tired of the boo-hoo sob stories that blame everyone but the person who committed the crime, and now has to pay the penalty.

Whoa is the poor immigrant who sneaks into the US and then has to cower in fear because they broke the law.
In America as with what is happening in the EU it has suddenly become a crime to be WHITE or Caucasian. We suddenly all feel that a 70-80 percent majority of our nations who are French, German, Dutch, English etc. are apologizing for daring to vote for our own interests.
These illegals brow beat us into being apologetic for being a massive majority within our own country and have been for centuries. Now as the immigrants flood into our respective nations it is suddenly a crime to be White, Caucasian or Nationalistic.
It is why Trump might only have a 37 percent rating but when election time comes in another year I can guarantee you that the left will lose more seats and that the GOP might actually take over the Senate this time around. The silent 72 percent in America is simply watching a president fighting hard to get things done for them.
Even in the EU with each passing election the power elites, the leftists keep losing seats as more and more of the vast majority suddenly realize that they are being duped by their own nation. Nations that forbid free speech and surveil you with cameras every step of your life from the time you leave for work in the morning until you arrive home at night. And now most of us wonder how many computers are tapped? Wires are on our phones or listening devices are pointed at our houses.
Welcome to socialism. This is what the left wants for the USA. But of course they only want the best of what it has to offer, not all the ugly, ugly baggage that comes with it.

Señor Andazola Morales is a felon, having illegally re-entered the United States following a previous deportation. He should be prosecuted for this felony, convicted, and sentenced to as long as the law allows. Then, after perhaps six months in a federal penitentiary, to let him know what that’s like, deported with the warning that if he is ever caught back in the United States, he’ll have the privilege of serving the rest of his sentence in a supermax facility.
The 37% who support and the 72% who are silent?
That is why immigrants are desperately needed in this country, to do math and all of the other mundane things that those who are trembling with fear because they believe it has “suddenly become a crime to be WHITE or Caucasian”, cannot evidence basic skill levels.
37 percent being Donald Trumps approval rating and 72 percent being the percent of America that is Caucasian. Really sir the more I read your post the more it makes no sense what so ever other then to get your hovercard on a website.
By the looks of you I would think rather than doing the math I would think your imaginary immigrants need to perhaps do your reading comprehension for you.
From the daughter’s remarks she wasn’t aware of the earlier deportation order, and apparently neither was ICE originally. That would explain the “change in demeanor.”
I have little problem with long-term illegals applying for legal standing, and think we should focus on deporting genuine criminals (gang members, violent crimes, etc) first. On the other hand Mr. Marquez is subject to the previous deportation order.
Frankly I don’t understand half of what rotterdam is blathering about. The (mostly) Mexicans I work with don’t talk about white privilege or browbeat anyone. They’re mostly just like the white (and black) American cooks I work with. They’re looking for a paycheck and willing to work hard to earn it.
The only time I ever hear about things like “white privilege” is when I encounter yet another story about a clueless university professor, and even then they don’t categorize white Europeans as “criminals.” I think rotterdam needs to take his meds and calm down.
P.S. I suppose I should add that I support the enforcement of current law, and have no use for the “non-documented” mind-set. I’m just not tribal about it. If nothing else it would be unbelievably time-consuming & expensive to ensure expulsion of even 90% of the illegal population.
all I can say is….
BWWAAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHHAAHAHAAAHAHAHAAA
