Yes, that would be ideal.

Oh thanks for the clarification. My first thought is “Why do we let so many over here in the first place?” It seems to me it is a lot easier to keep track of people when there are not so many of them.

“It seems to me it is a lot easier to keep track of people when there are not so many of them.”

Yes, but the problem is that both Parties want to keep this mess going.

You are right that was the lawyer speaking in generalities and not he specifics of Dylan’s case. Thanks for the correction. But my point stands that the reason a person comes to ICE’s attention should not matter. They are subject to enforcement action even if no other crime is involved.

Why didn’t his parents take the necessary steps to have him a legal resident and citizen?

They didn't want him around either?

For reasons that have nothing to do with what is best for this country and its citizens.

That is my take too. I still cannot understand why his parents did not take care of this when he was 12.

Stupidity? Ignorance? Arrogance? Some poisonous combination of all three? Keeping their, and their son's, immigration status current and correct was part of their job as parents.

Yes, and all the superfluous bulls*it about how they are “helping to build our country, or that as a group, they are involved in less crime than our citizens ( which is a bald-faced lie), or that we are a country of immigrants" nonsense, is just that BS. I just hope that ICE takes on California full-force, before the RATs and their Mexican RAT cohorts turn this once proud state into Mexico del Norte.

I will admit that I did wonder who was taking care of him in Ireland why his parents were in the U.S. and why he was not sent for earlier. So perhaps they did not want him around. Still leaving him in legal limbo makes no sense. Why not “Hey enjoy your trip back to Ireland son.”? Simple enough.

A lot of the illegal Irish live in Brighton.

If only the RCMP was staffed by insufferably nice people like Benton Fraser....

Due South was a great series.

This story is designed to make Trump supporters look like racists. Personally, I have the same problems with illegal Irish as I do illegal Mexicans. They need to follow the law, just like I’m expected to.

They kept on hoping he would just leave?

Or the careless attitude toward the law runs in the family?

Certainly his uncle should be charged for hiring him when he knew he was illegal.

There are some Irish who have the mind set that the law, any law, is English and so it is their duty to ignore it.

Ah! It is white people! From Ireland, here illegally...we can’t throw them out! The rules have to be completely different for white people!

Yup. That's exactly what the faggots at NPR expect our reaction to be. They are so used to living with their own hypocritical ideas, that they can't imagine other folk actually having principles.

If you didn’t IMMIGRATE here or are just visiting for a couple of weeks with a visa you are an illegal alien...

It's a liberal fantasy that Americans would accept illegals IF they were white. We don't 'accept' bank robbers IF they're white... why would we accept people who break into our country based on skin color?

One more liberal nutty insanity.

Proof that Trump’s immigration policy isn’t racist.

I don’t support illegal immigration for members of my ethnic group any more than I support them for Mexicans.
