Unlawful Arrest?

[Howey]

Why would this guy be arrested and threatened with deportation? He did nothing wrong.

Undocumented immigrant and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas could soon face deportation, according to an immigrants’ rights group.

Border Patrol allegedly arrested the activist in Texas on Tuesday during his attempt to pass through security at McAllen-Miller International Airport, United We Dream said in a statement. Vargas is associated with the nonpartisan network, which advocates for the fair treatment of immigrant youths and their families.


He was allegedly questioned by Border Patrol on Tuesday morning, said Ryan Eller, director of Define American, an initiative that Vargas founded.

Publicizing his undocumented status for media coverage, he wanted to be arrested. Not an advocate for improvished illegal immigrants, just trying to make more $$$$$$$$.

I read he came in the US as a child, thus, entered illegally. And I am not of the "pack 'em up, deport 'em" club.

Did I miss the part where his grandparents forced him to do something?

By the way, he claims he came into this country as an unaccompanied minor. What, exactly, am I supposed to see?

He had no idea he was illegal until he was an adult and tried to get a driver's license.

He had no idea that he was here illegally even though his passport says he was born in the Philippines, thus making him not a US citizen, came here alone at the age of 12, and the passport includes the expired visa stamp?

Ever consider the possibility that you are the one that needs to learn to read?

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Even if I buy his story that he didn't know, once he knew he was breaking the law the onus is on him. I actually read in the story that his friends advised him that he shouldn't go, and he went anyway.

The way immigration law is currently being enforced, Jose can stay as long as he likes unless he comments a very serious felony. Hell, he could be hauled in for DUI a half dozen times in some parts of the country and not be deported.

No, but he is still here illegally. That is still a crime.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Deport him if Vargas is going to play silly publicity games.
