This is the latest on a story I previously posted. I post this as a public service offering of raw meat for the xenophobic yahoos to have at.

"Hey, Officer, there's a terrorist with a bomb in a backpack hiding behind that tree over there!"

"Can't you see I'm writing a parking ticket here? Stop interfering with an officer in the conduct of his duty or I'll run you in."

What is the full story here? Why are they being deported?
curious minds want to know.

Two downsides to this story, one is that these people weren't deported back in 1996 when the order was issued the second is that their son is considered an American citizen.

No one questions that immigration policy can be frustrating for people wanting to immigrate to this country. I tend toward libertarian policies, but as Milton Friedman himself points out, it is impossible to have a social welfare state (which we have) and open immigration. About 80% of the world's population live with a lower standard of living than recipients of public assistance in this country. Unless we want a couple billion welfare clients we need to do something to control our borders.

The enforcement of immigration policies is admittedly perverse, penalizing those who would be productive and rewarding freeloaders.

You won't hear the Left crying Racism abuot these people, because Asians tend to be overachievers.

Now, if these people were Mohammedans from Pakistan, or Chicanos from Mexico leeching off the taxpayer, they would be protesting in the streets.

There are thousands of true, heart-tugging immigration stories like this every year. It's possible to feel empathy for the plight of families like this without demanding open borders, or even exceptions to policy. As far as sympathy goes, however, that falls between sh*t and syphilis in the dictionary. I should add, parenthetically, that being sent back to the ROK is not exactly like being sent to a North Korean gulag. South Korea is a modern, industrialized country with ample employment opportunities. And bear in mind that after their son reaches his maturity, he can (assuming no change to existing immigration law) bring his parents back to the States in six years, legally this time.

Don't forget your post is also for the morons who are so intellectually bankrupt they confuse opposition to ILLEGAL immigration with opposing ALL immigration.

ATTENTION: All out of work Buchanan/Tancredo devotees: The power of the government to kick illegals out of the jobs you want has succeeded in opening up a position for a sushi chef. Get your excuses ready for not applying when your parents and wives tell you about it.
