AURORA, Colo. -- In a case that lays bare deep divisions on immigration, a Colorado congressman is urging immigration officials to deport an honors student who spoke out about the difficulties of undocumented youths trying to attend college in the United States.

Tancredo asked immigration authorities to remove 17-year-old Jesus Apodaca and his family from the country earlier this month after the youth was featured in a front-page story by The Denver Post about the dilemmas undocumented teenagers face when trying to go to college. The family has lived illegally in the United States for five years.

Actually this whole article is a distortion. According to Tancredo he asked that someone at the INS look into the situation, not mentioning Apodaca by name, and did not order anyone to deport this "model student".

True, but we can't expect the print media to tell the truth, can we?
