Thread: Eight years in a North Korean prison for being Illegal

Think this would stop Illegal Immigration Into the United States ? Carter and Former Prisoner Return to U.S.

By ABBY GOODNOUGH and KATIE ZEZIMA
BOSTON — The stepfather of Aijalon Mahli Gomes, the American who arrived home Friday after being held for months in North Korea, said the family had been praying for some high-profile help when former President Jimmy Carter called unexpectedly last week.

“I kept saying, ‘That’s going to have to happen to get him out,’ â€

Some countries actually take the violation of their sovereignty very,very seriously and North Korea just so happens to be one of them. He's lucky they didn't shoot him on the spot!

Mr. Gomes, who graduated from Bowdoin College in 2001, went to South Korea about three years ago to teach English. He appears to have entered North Korea in support of Robert Park, an American who went there in December to call attention to the dismal conditions in the North’s prison camps. Mr. Park was freed in February.

This idiot has been watching too many illegal invader marches in the United States. Not every country acts as a doormat for those who invade their sovereignty.

Do not know why this would be moved to "other topics" when the article concerns Illegal Immigration Into another country, and gives one a sharp comparison and a cause for pause regarding (Korea's) and (our laws) here the United States....... TS

topsecret, moving this to News Stories.

As others have said, some nations take illegal entry quite seriously.

Jeremiah 29:11, it is written, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
