Editorial: UC Berkeley fails to support undocumented student Luis Mora in time of need
The Daily Californian (Student Paper) ^ | January 16, 2018 | Editorial Board

Posted on 01/16/2018 11:45:46 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

The UC Berkeley administration’s reaction to undocumented junior Luis Mora’s detainment by Border Patrol proves that the campus doesn’t give undocumented students the support they need.

Within days of Mora’s detainment on Dec. 30 in San Diego, campus immigrant rights organization Rising Immigrant Scholars through Education, or RISE at Berkeley, launched a massive social media campaign to call for Mora’s release.

Now is the time for public action, and the UC Berkeley administration — which has repeatedly expressed support for the undocumented community — should proudly lead the charge.

Mora’s detainment isn’t an isolated incident; under President Donald Trump’s administration, all undocumented students are vulnerable. Orr Yakobi, an undocumented UC San Diego student, was detained Jan. 7 by Border Patrol after taking a wrong turn, just like Mora. Thankfully, Yakobi was later released amid the public outcry that his social media campaign garnered from the community.

The Berkeley community must continue to raise money for RISE’s efforts and use the #FreeLuis hashtag to maintain this public outrage over Mora’s detainment. Mora’s name cannot be forgotten. Our community must make every effort to help bring Mora home.

No need to worry. The Border Patrol will take him home.

After #Hashtags, they really don’t have a playbook.

Illegal isn’t a race, it’s a crime.

.. every effort to help bring Mora home  which is exactly what's happening !  (better late than never :-)

The surprising part of the piece is that official Berzerklydom isn't wetting their collectivist panties about it in public.

Not only that, but there is a cultural appropriator on there too (the dark skinned person with blond hair).
