It is not just irresponsible but ludicrous that Congress and the president would ignore the need for comprehensive immigration reform even as government agents round up and deport scores of the undocumented who deserve an avenue to legal residency in this country.
In a special report titled “The Undocumented,” staff writer Luis Ferré Sadurni shared stories of immigrants who entered the country illegally or overstayed their visas and are now living in fear that any day might bring their arrest by the Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
These are men and women living otherwise law-abiding lives and making positive contributions to their communities. Arresting them and sending them back to their homelands would needlessly break up families and, despite all the hot rhetoric to the contrary, would do little to nothing to make America safer or more prosperous.
With an estimated 50,000 undocumented immigrants, and a mayor who has promised sanctuary to all who qualify, Philadelphia appears to be a Trump administration target for its heightened deportation efforts. Between Jan. 20 and March 13, more than 350 immigrants with no criminal convictions — six times as many during the same period last year — were arrested by ICE agents for being here illegally.

Illegal aliens SHOULD live in fear.
They are illegal aliens.
No other country puts up with this.

Sounds good to me. I hope they’re wetting the bed every night. I live in NJ. This is one of the few states in the nation that funds education through property tax. Every time these bastards stick their kid in a public school my property taxes go up.
There are NO “law-abiding” illegal aliens.
They MUST break multiple laws DAILY to continue their illegal presence.
Illegal employment, document fraud and benefit fraud are the tip of the iceberg.
AND STAY OUT!
“It is not just irresponsible but ludicrous that Congress and the president would ignore the need for comprehensive immigration reform”
I agree with these editorial board savants completely. We should immediately reform our enforcement policies by instituting comprehensive mass round-ups of illegals and visa overstayers and by comprehensively and summarily booting each of them out of the country. A dna sample should be taken from each one and their reentry to our country should be comprehensively barred forever.
Now that is “comprehensive immigration reform” I can support.
Philly’s Mexican citizens live in fear of deportation under Trump
...round up and deport scores of the Mexican citizens who deserve an avenue to legal residency in this country.
In a special report titled “The Mexican citizens,” staff writer Luis Ferré Sadurni shared stories of Mexican citizens who entered the country illegally or overstayed their visas and are now living in fear that any day might bring their arrest by the Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
With an estimated 50,000 Mexican citizens, and a mayor who has promised continued non-citizenship in a foreign country to them...
Unfortunately for these Mexican citizens, and 11 million other foreign nationals, Congress and Trump are applying logic to immigration.
Exactly!
Viva la Migra! Screw you Kenny
Awwww. Isn’t that just to bad that they live in fear?
Good for them to get a good taste of fear.
Wrong! Legal residency is a privilege, not a right.
*SLAM* :)
They should. Undocumented = illegal.
Undocumented live in fear ... well, that fear is a good thing from my perspective.
The left’s language to try to ‘normalize’ these illegal criminals....just as they try to normalize so many other criminal and/or deviant groups/activities.
Victimize to normalize. That’s their standard MO.
YAY!
deserve” legal residency. If this makes sense to someone could they please explain it ?
Future democrap voters, what more needs to be said
Yep - Trump is their boogie man that hides under beds and in dark closets.
GOOD!
