Inside O'Hare Deportation Flights

ICE flight chief calls border "a revolving door"

Updated 2:27 PM CDT, Sun, Aug 1, 2010

Guillermo Campos Ojeda stares blankly at the clouds from the jetliner's window, mentally retracing the 22 years that he lived in the United States as an illegal immigrant.

His odyssey began in 1988 with an illegal border crossing and ended in May when he was pulled over for driving without a license. In between were double shifts at a Chicago factory, a string of run-ins with the law, a marriage and his ultimate joy: the birth of his daughter, now 2, who is a U.S. citizen.

But on this flight arranged by the federal government, his journey takes a new turn: Ojeda is being deported along with 52 other illegal immigrants. Their day starts at a suburban Chicago processing center and ends with a lonely walk across a bridge from Brownsville, Texas, into Mexico....

"For 10 years, I worked two jobs. I didn't ask the government for anything, not welfare, nothing,'' he said in Spanish.

Number One: Didn't ask for anything is bullshit. I'll bet he didn't pay a dime to birth his anchor baby, nor any of the other emergency room visits he and his family had for their general heath needs, or go to a food pantry, apply for EBT, WICS, AFDC, etc.

Number Two: Ten years here and he had to blink back tears as he recounted his story in Spanish.

As far as I'm concerned EVERYTHING he ever made in this country should be confiscated and sold and put back into the treasury, period.

No culturally sensitive meal?

Was the company that hired this criminal prosecuted for doing so?

The first step this illegal took over the US border made him a lawbreaker. He broke the law and deserves whatever the border control choses to do. We are a country of laws and people like this guy who doesn’t think he did anything wrong is EXACTLY what is wrong on the border. When a country, any country, loses control of its borders and the security of that border, it ceases to be a country.
