I read the entire piece. The whole thing was kind of sad. I can sympathize with the writers plight. He was a kid when his family broke the law and brought him here illegally, and by his own admission he has been torn by desire not to be deported vs his knowledge that every time he filled out an application he was doing something wrong.
Not sure that it changes my opinion about the Dream act, however.
Kinda of shocked he was able to get into the White House, though.

If you thought the New Year's Eve FBI manhunt for illegal aliens with fake passports was a disturbing sign of homeland insecurity, wait until you hear about who's been working on President George W. Bush's front lawn.
While the Secret Service has now instituted criminal and citizenship screening procedures for all tourists (including children) who visit the White House, federal agents failed to detect an illegal alien who used a false identity and fraudulent documents and was employed for at least two years as a supervisor of tent installation for White House social events.
This illegal alien had been ordered kicked out of the country by the Immigration and Naturalization Service in February 2000, but was able to evade the law and fool both his employer and the Secret Service through petty identity fraud. He was finally caught at the U.S.-Mexico border last month, but it was no thanks to the law enforcement agents in Washington who are assigned to protect the White House from unknown intruders.
By the way, it was discovered Bush's Home Land Security Boss, Chertoff, had illegal aliens wandering around the inside of his private residence, during war time no less.
I have zero sympathy for this illegal alien (alleged) journalist
We don’t need a DREAM act. We need a THUGS, DRUNKS and GANGBANGERS act where we deport them immediately
Always nice when a perp confesses. Arrest him and then deport him. They would do NO LESS in the Philippines, Mexico, Guatemala, China, or any other country sending their illegals here.
What’s weird about this guy is that in espionage, there are two types of spies, and one of them are called ‘illegals’. You get the in across the border using ‘legends’. A legend is basically a history of a person who either died young, or using some stolen and forged form of ID of a real person. In the 50s, a few Russian illegals came in through Canada.
This is one reason why immigration is such a serious issue.
This joker got INTO THE WHITEHOUSE on a fake ID, and the Post knew.
Arrest the man, and the guy at the Post, and let’s get this over with. Nation of laws? We’ll see.
I have great sympathy for Filipinos and those who come here legally.
Why does this guy think that his story merits a call to legalize folks like him? He is not a citizen, and is not here legally.
Reading his history, it’s an unending tale of lies, deception, forgeries, bribes, etc. This is the dishonesty and illegality “illegals” are bringing here. It’s just a bad thing for the country.
I think they could have found a citizen or legal immigrant to work for their newspaper.
The problem in America isn’t the left and right or lib/con divide. It is the boundless greed of a commercial and banking sector that no longer owes its allegiance to the USA, but instead to international shareholders and CEO managers earning ever increasing many million dollar exorbitant bonuses while everyone else earns less.
These international elites play the left and right against each other (divide and conquer) for their own benefit. They have ALWAYS supported illegal immigration because they then profit at our expense. Thankfully not all conservatives have been hoodwinked into believing that they should support globalism and crony corporatism. Global corporatism has always been about removing national sovereignty, favoring open borders and no regulations, all to the international corporation’s benefit, but not necessarily ours.
Republicans are for immigration enforcement until they are against it. GW Bush was sidelined by 9-11 on his amnesty push from day one. We Americans sadly do not get any leadership that works in our USA first interest. We get leadership that is beholden to big NYC money, US Chamber of Commerce, Wall Street and other nations and it all comes out of our hide and at our expense and we smile while it happens.
I vote candidate not Party.
A big concern though, is the security breach at the White House of someone using falsified documents to gain access to the president.
There's a typo in that, here let me fix it:
Of no concern though, is the security breach at the White House of someone using falsified documents to gain access to the presidency.
AH—forgot to add. Where is the accountability? Why isn’t the reporter and WAPO management held criminally accountable for ID fraud. Accountability in the USA is something only the little guy faces? Everyone else gets a wink and nod and goes on with their business of screwing us.
The Washington Post scoffs at what is right. They break the law to prove it can be broken. The Post deserves the “Bad Citizen” award.
What about the American who was denied his job, probably because they were white? (Gay trumps Black, Black trumps Hispanic, everyone else trumps white males.)
Trick this man to come to Alabama or Texas or Arizona for something to report on.
Then arrest, under state law, and deport his ass.
Could be done under the umbrella that "his reporting is needed on the injustices suferred by the undocumented in Alabama under new law." If stupid enough, he will take the bait. I am sure a friendly sheriff and public prosecutor could be waiting by during the sting.
Ask Linda Tripp...
USA:
This is fake, she whispered. Dont come back here again."
JAPAN:
"これは偽造ですよ。此方の部屋へ早速来なさい。 ("This is fake! Accompany me to this room immediately.")
Within 36 hours, his papers to deport would be in order, he would be jailed at Konan or Narita if in Tokyo, (first given a 30 minute chance, supervised, to pack his goods as his residence under police watch), and make some goodbye calls to relatives or business associates to handle his things while gone and then unceremoniously handcuffed, taken to a holding area at aircraft/side, and put on a one way flight to Manila, stamped not to be able to enter Japan for at least ten years.
This is the treatment that Journalist should recieve. Very International Treatment (because this is done this way in the vast number of overseas countries. My how, "gllllloballllll" of them)....
don’t people like pelosi want to penalize (liquidate) any (evil, greedy) business that knowingly employs (takes advantage of) any illegal (unfortunate) immigrant?
sounds like the WaPo should have some packing to do.
It’s against federal law to knowingly hire, or to continue to employ an illegal alien. With this admission, he has implicated his employer - the Washington Post - in at least one federal crime, and perhaps several federal crime.
I wonder if they’ll be an investigation and prosecution? /sarcasm
If there ever were a more deserving candidate to go to the back of the line please show me.
