(Illegal) Immigrant Wants Deportation Delayed To Pursue Civil Rights Case (Against the Feds)

NEW HAVEN — Washington Colala says his life feels like a ticking time bomb as he counts down the minutes to Monday, when immigration authorities have ordered him to comply with a deportation order and return to his native Ecuador.

Colala and his lawyers acknowledge that his appeals are virtually exhausted. But they say he should be allowed to stay while he and 10 other immigrants pursue a federal civil rights lawsuit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the very agency insisting that he leave the county.

"Every day is a little more desperate," Colala said Thursday through an interpreter. Unless ICE relents and allows him to stay temporarily, Colala on Monday will use the airline ticket he recently purchased to return to Ecuador.

Ahmad said his client, who has been in the country since 1995, had never been arrested before the raids and has complied with all ICE guidelines. When ICE unexpectedly told him 2 1/2 weeks ago to report to its Hartford office with a ticket to Ecuador, he immediately complied.

I don't see what the problem is.

Colala has four children, and the two youngest were born in the United States. He came to the U.S. to provide them a better life "like all fathers want to do," he said. With that now in doubt, he hopes he'll get a last-minute reprieve.

HE has four children but how many mothers are we talking about???????

What part of “illegal” do people not understand.

Let him file his law suit from his own country. The mail goes both ways.

raybar,
I don’t geive a damn how many welfare suckers this illegal fathered here.
Round him, his illegal offspring up and ship em back to whatever craphole they came from.
Enough sucking from the public teet.

[Gaffer]

Fine. His kids can stay. With the Democratic Child Welfare Department and he can go the hell home. Otherwise, take his illegal chattel home where he came from. We don’t need any more Spanish speaking, gimme gimme gimme dependents.

[HiTech RedNeck]

If he is petitioning for political asylum, this sounds like an odd way to do it.

[raybbr]

Take your pick....

I hope the nitwits do this----good way to get them out of our hair, for good.

Latino Leaders Swirl Around Idea of Tequila Party (NOT Satire)

Latino leaders in Nevada and nationwide are quietly debating whether to sever their traditional Democratic ties and form an independent grass-roots political group. The idea, born of frustration over the party’s inaction on immigration reform and fears that as a voting bloc they’re a political afterthought, Latino leaders have discussed the idea among themselves locally and in conference calls with colleagues across the country.

“I don’t know if it’s going to happen, but there’s talk,” said Fernando Romero, president of the nonpartisan Hispanics in Politics, Nevada’s oldest Hispanic political group. “There’s discussion about empowerment of the Latino vote.” SNIP “Latinos don’t have the luxury to try to be islands in and of themselves,” Muñoz told the Sun. “What we need, given the reality of today, is a new progressive party that is independent but inclusive of all racial and ethnic groups.”

“If the progressive Democratic caucus, if the progressive third parties can say this isn’t working, let’s leave and contribute to the building of a multiracial independent party, that would be the perfect nucleus for the eventual development of a vibrant independent force that reflects a diverse culture.” (Excerpt) Read more at lasvegassun.com ...

I'm wondering if you and I are related...

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Obama is probably peeing on himself with giddiness at this news.

Could be...I got righteous orneriness on both sides of the family.

[oldenuff2no]

Here we go again. Illegals don't have the right to clog up our courts, our welfare system or out emergency rooms. They need to be removed from this country at each and every opportunity. PERIOD!!!!!
