This just shows how ridiculously open we are in our over-inclusivity mentality.
If American in Tokyo did the same illegal thing at Narita Airport in Japan, they would not say in the Japanese press here that "a Tokyo man was arrested", same in/with many other countries. They have some concept as to who is a citizen on their soil and who isn't. There seems to be no such concept in the United States. I have even heard of ILLEGAL ALIENS referred to as "Americans" just because they are on our soil.
A. This suspect is not even a United States Citizen.
B. He happens to reside in New Jersey while on a student visa.
C. He is a citizen of the Peoples Republic of China.
The news leads need to read that "A Chinese man was arrested" for last week's security breach in Newark.
I have seen stories of some Americans who had even given up their citizenship in younger years and were fully citizens of another country, and did some kind of international crime, and were still referred to in the US press as "US citizens".
Why cannot they get the facts right here? This is the oddest thing about the US press when viewed from afar.
I agree completely. This Chinese student living here on US beneficence and had the nerve to ruin Christmas travel plans for thousands. To see some real dumb comments read the 24 comments for this story. Nearly all cut him slack and ignore how much he screwed up other people’s lives that day
