father of five was detained by ICE on his way to work. Now his family is losing their home

[Seymour Flops]

From the article:

Since Jose Luis was detained on 26 January, Rosa has had to sell belongings just to stay afloat. She sold two pickup trucks owned by the business and is being forced to leave the mobile home where they live and move in with her parents because she can’t afford the payments.

Ok, now wait.

She sold two pickups owned by her business, but even with that, she was evicted for not making the payment on her trailer?

Within 20 days of her husband being picked up?

Does that make sense to anyone?

We can expect more of these fake stories written by journalists who are no longer getting their USAID payments, so may get sloppy with their "make sense" checks.

I believe the article is a bit over the top and not 100% accurate but if it was he would be released.

You can't just walk up to a person and say "show me your papers" with no reason to ask for them.

Show us where, in the article, it says that the ICE heroes had no reason to ask for their papers.

"On his way to work"

So was he here legally is the question?

Dont Taz Me Bro , pknopp

The article says he was self employed

Where or are you just joking?

 

[Road Runner]

Sob story my ass. We don't know if he's illegal. ICE has been taking in American citizens.

There are more questions than that.

The cruelty is the point. Just ask Jesus. 2038 is supposedly when our nation will be majority brown people. Homan's little raids aren't going to change that.

i dont think he is trying to change that....

 

[EvilCat Breath]

His family can go with him. They don't have to be separated. Sell the house. In Mexico the proceeds from that sale can go a long way.

There are more questions than that.

Such as?

I hate when I state something and then someone comes along and expects me to repeat myself.

Why did they ask him for his I.D.?

because he looks like a latino....

Seems so perhaps. 100% illegal if so.

 

[Road Runner]

Why did they ask him for his I.D.?

To make sure that he was here legally and he obviously wasn't. Seriously are you actually that stupid?

 

[Anathema]

Zero sympathy here. He’s undocumented. How does the wife not know he’s undocumented? If she knew, why didn’t she turn him in?

The employer should lose their business license for not confirming his status.

Illegal.

These are the types of sob stories the media is going put out there to undermine the effort to fight illegal immigration. The man looks to be about 40 or so years old, so he had twenty something years to fix his status. This is on him, no matter how the media tries to spin it.

Donald Trump’s deportations have created a climate of fear among immigrant communities across the country, Richard Hall writes.

I suspect there is much more to this story as currently ICE is focusing on ferreting out the dangerous illegals and getting those out of the country. So I suspect this guy was on a wanted list somewhere.

Even if not, everybody needs to get past the mentality that breaking our laws for 10 - 15 - 20 or more years does not somehow make breaking our laws okay and the lawbreaker should get to stay but those who just now broke them should not.

Probably not. He might not even know that.

There are many good questions that could be asked about this or any other arrest.

But the "journalist" that wrote that story didn't tell us where the story comes from, and if it from someone in the know, the journalist either did not ask those questions, or did not share the answers with us.

What we can glean is most likely true from the story as presented is that an illegal alien was detained for being in the country illegally, and that his wife is complaining about the financial hardships she claims to be enduring. If that seems like a man-bites-dog story, it should not.

The rest of the story seems very unlikely, so I doubt we will ever know the truth.

Which is kind of the point. That same journalist is no doubt working on the next one, and it will need no more basis than this one.

Or not being able to round up but a small number of those who are wanted they got worried and started looking anywhere they could.

Just like the story about raiding the apt building in Colorado.

Even if not, everybody needs to get past the mentality that breaking our laws for 10 - 15 - 20 or more years does not somehow make breaking our laws okay and the lawbreaker should get to stay but those who just now broke them should not.

The argument here seems to be that it is OK for law enforcement to break the laws.

Illegal.

Yep he was so he needs to go bye-bye.
