Joel Massie won't be spending Father's Day with his dad this year. The 13-year-old Metuchen boy's father was deported last month as part of President Donald Trump's crackdown on immigration. Arino Massie had been living in the U.S. for 16 years after fleeing persecution of Christians in Muslim-majority Indonesia.
"I am sad that he can't live the dream of a life in America with his family," Joel, a U.S. citizen, said at a Capitol Hill press conference Tuesday as U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. (D-6th Dist,) and others vowed to work to allow his father to return to the U.S.

Trump has not changed a single immigration regulation. All these people we are reading about would have been deported under Obummer.

FFS. What about the kids of the three million incarcerated criminals in this country? I know, let’s let them all out so they can be home for Father’s Day!

Another sob story. They all knew they were illegal when they came here. No one forced these squatters to have children here, but the law should deport everyone in the family of an illegal.

Sniff, sniff. My screen is blurry.

There has to be more to this deportation than is being told.

Where are the articles about children spending Father’s Day without Dad who is stationed overseas?

“Arino Massie had been living in the U.S. for 16 years after fleeing persecution of Christians in Muslim-majority Indonesia.”
Did he claim asylum?

“Pallone said Massie missed a legal deadline for requesting asylum.”
Gosh, that seems like an awfully important deadline to miss and a huge opportunity to pass up.
Too bad the guy screwed up really, really big.

ALL illegal aliens should be removed.
And they should take their kids with them.

Since when do they care about reporting that Christians are persecuted in Indonesia by Muslims for years.

We need to stop this ‘born in America, you are a citizen crap’. Your parents are here illegally, YOU are an illegal. Moreover, once you have ‘illegal status’, you can NEVER apply for American citizenship. You have to disincentivize the whole illegal alien process.
