ICE= In-Competant-Eunuchs.

"how the ICE were trying to deport a 30-year, middle-aged resident, who fathered several American citizens while married to an American citizen, in the middle of his chemotherapy."

How cruel! We should at least wait until the illegal alien finishes his cancer treatment paid for by the American taxpayer.

sometimes pushing down doors in the middle of the night, in search of people who do not live there.

Similar events used to happen with me only with phone calls at 2 in the morning. Last time it happened I told the caller that "Yolanda" was in bed with "Curtis" and didn't want to be disturbed........

As we all know, most illegals are white protestants :-)

Who said it was paid for by the American taxpayer? He was quite well-to-do. He had paid into the American insurance program, and was receiving the benefits. Being deported meant interrupting those treatments, and quite possibly a death sentence (at least the way Newsday told it, whichm mind you, is highly questionnable). Besides, the point was not the ICE SHOULDN’T deport him, but that the ICE had chosen to deport HIM why IGNORING tens of thousands of other illegals. He was singled out, apparently for the primary purpose of making the law seem draconian.

Well, most Hispanics are at least partly white, and only 35% of Hispanic illegal aliens are Catholic, so there may be some truth to what you say.

Sorry, but i honestly don’t think this thread has yet justified racy pictures of Selma Hayek.

[DoughtyOne]

We need justification for that sort of thing? Since when?

He had hospitalization insurance without a SS#?

I’m not sure. Keep in mind, his wife and kids were American citizens.
