A day at work with two newspaper employees Harvey Rice and Aurora Losada..

"What you got there?"

"Oh the usual daily feed.. ten thousand or so tragic stories of citizens dying young and many with no hope of seeing their families in time.. ho hum.. wait! What's this?"

"Hot Damn!"

"What is it?"

"U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials have denied a couple's agonizing plea again and again -- all because of our outdated, harsh, bigoted, racist, mean-spirited immigration laws.. Hot Damn! How's this for a headline: 'U.S. slams the door on parents hoping to see dying daughter'?"

"Get a hold of that PR firm that the immigration rights groups use.. see how much this is worth to them. Hot damn!"

I did not see why the parents were not granted entry. Did I miss something?

Customs and Border Protection denied the first request because Jose Sanchez was deported from the United States 13 years ago for being in the country illegally.

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit...

I saw this in a chat one time.

This is the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave someone needs to clarify to these stupid people what the Free actually means!

The illegals stole the hinges and burned the doorframe to keep warm in the winter desert. How’d we close it?

>> ... so families can stay together, especially in times of crisis

I agree. I am 100% in favor of families staying together... in the country where they are legal citizens. By all means! Stay together in MEXICO.

Because her father had had been deported previously for being here illegally before, which is probably how his daughter got here illegally. Guess he traded this future for short-term monetary gain.

I didn’t realize we HAD a door that could be slammed shut.

Yeah, what door?
