Immigrants living here illegally are deported for one reason

DEAR EDITOR:
RE: “Rallies seek release of detained immigration activist,” mdjonline.com, 1/16

The Associated Press weeper in the MDJ about a foreigner who was allowed into the U.S. in 2009 on a six-month tourist visa and who advocates for amnesty for fellow illegal aliens and who skipped on paying a taxi fare is more of the same: Illegal aliens are the victims, Americans with borders, immigration laws and who value the law are the villains.

It should be noted that all illegal aliens are removable. And that nobody, ever in the history of the USA has been deported for a broken tail light or driving without a license or being an anti-enforcement activist — or not paying a hard working taxi driver the fare he was owed.
Illegal aliens are deported for one reason – because they are in violation of American immigration law.

The MDJ’s current dependence on the AP for immigration stories seems to be sending a clear message that the game is to influence public opinion with cry-our-eyes-out stories that paint immigration enforcement as mean-spirited.

Georgia is loaded with stories about illegals who have harmed Americans.

Cobb County is high-up the list of Georgia counties with its population of these “victims.” It would seem that the MDJ could produce more stories that give a fair view of illegal immigration locally.

In the AP story about this “victim of enforcement,” Eduardo Samaniego, we learn that his mother has run to his side and is using all manner of claims of woe to try to stop his well-deserved deportation. Odds are that she is an illegal alien too, or the AP writer would have gone out of his way to include some glowing info that she is here legally.

Real victims here? The cab driver who got stiffed — and the American people who want to keep their country and their rule of law.
