Sounds like the plot from “Born in East L.A.”

Nearly eight months after he was transferred to ICE custody, Castillo was released. He discovered that immigration officials had two files on him, with different numbers, and has since filed a lawsuit. ICE declined to comment because the lawsuit is pending.

"I understand that nothing is perfect, nothing will be perfect, but I don't understand how they could make a grave mistake like that," he said. "Because if this happened to me, I'm quite sure it's happened to somebody else. What's going to happen to the next person it happens to?"

It's the Government. This sort of bureaucratic tomfoolery happens all the time.

I don't know how we ever got along without him. Thank goodness he is back in the U.S.A.

Did he have a red shirt on with a picture of Che on one side and Obama on the other?

[Mike Darancette]

Either he must be the only person ever deported from Los Angeles or this story is a lie.

As we approach another push for amnesty we'll see dozens of these stories. That's the plan.

Each one may be very sad -- but we're talking tens of millions of citizens of other countries who have so little respect for our country that they refuse to honor our heritage of laws not men -- and they want prizes to boot! Go figure.

.. oh, and the unions want to organize them and collect dues, businesses want to keep the taxpayer-subsidized cheap labor (yeah, sure, for business), and Democrats want millions of sure votes.

In a drive to crack down on illegal immigrants, the United States has locked up or thrown out dozens, probably many more, of its own citizens over the past eight years.

OK, in the first place what "drive to crack down on illegal immigrants"? Bush wanted to roll out the red carpet for them. And secondly, if there's still 12-20 million illegals running around free, how many legals can possibly be getting detained/deported? These guys are grasping at straws, and grasping at straws is usually a sign of desperation.
