“Why the H didn’t he contact his mother if he didn’t understand what he was signing? “
Did you miss the part in the article where it said he was mentally ill? I blame his family. They shouldn’t have let him wander around on his own. Of course caring for someone like that is very challenging. In the old days he would have been committed to a mental institution and locked away for life. Not ideal, but better than ignoring them like we do today.
No, I didn't miss it. He wasn't so mentally challenged that he didn't know how to make a phone call. He called a relative after he was in Mexico.
I believe the intent of this article was to curtail deporting illegal aliens with the argument that sometimes mistakes are made. Its written to tug at people's heartstrings.
I'm willing to accept the reality that we don't live in a perfect world, and sometimes life isn't fair. Promoting discontinuing deportations because the system isn't perfect is the same as saying we should never ever go to war because we know that civilians will sometimes be unintentionally killed.
