You missed the complete point of this. It’s not that he’s an immigrant, and illegal one, it’s the sympathy for his family and their potentially ruined hopes.
The sympathy is misplaced. Or premature. Perhaps if daddy wasn’t a terrorist then their lives might be different, right? The thinking behind that article is almost as big a problem as what the terrorist did.
I didn't completely miss the point. Read what you wrote. You talked about the man who did it, that he was illegal, what he did, etc., and stuck a bit on at the end that USA Today wrote and article about his family that you find inappropriately sympathetic to their own misfortunes. I chose to ignore that part, because you already editorialized what you thought. Plus, a) it was USA Today, aka, "McPaper," and b) newspapers write companion stories to lots of big headline incidents. However, to my reading, you invited commentary over the whole event. Particularly since that's what we were actually talking about.
And it’s very different to your home grown antisemite, who seems unfortunately to represent a lot of people in the west.
Tell me how one brand of murderous antisemitism is different from another. IMO, people that do things like that are not a commonplace. They're crazy.
If trump broke the law then he’s being monotonously consistent, just like the left and their violence. I have more sympathy for the victims of their “protests” and the law enforcement officers and ICE officials who are under attack. I know there have been some foreign students deported for what they try to foment on college campus.
You are better off without them, and it’s proper that they were deported. This is not an issue of free speech..
I find it unfortunate that that's all you have to say about Trump's breaking of laws, and defying of the courts. Maybe you don't know what "due process" means, but everyone is entitled to it, in this country. Do you understand what it means even that he threatens to suspend habeas corpus? I'm not trying to treat you like a dummy, but we have different laws and different wordings in our countries. If you are that complacent about it, I wonder if you get the implications.
As to foreign students and various troubles with immigration due to participating in pro-Palestinian rallies on campuses, if all they did was protest, and their papers were otherwise in order, it absolutely IS an issue of free speech. That protection is not extended only to citizens. They are accused of being pro-Hamas, which is NOT the same thing as being pro-Palestinian, or of protesting the treatment of Palestinians in Gaza since the war started. The government is willfully and opportunistically conflating the two things, artificially. In the same way, to be against Netanyahu and his far-right government is NOT the same as being anti-Semitic. Hell, a huge majority of Israelis are against Netanyahu, and including his policies towards Gaza.
However, some had over-stayed visas, and in this climate, that's a big problem. Still, everyone is entitled to a hearing before being deported, and this is not happening, in many cases, and I'm talking about all of them.
I do understand that there are freedom of speech issues on campuses, for some time now. Something I admit to having been slow to grasp. The shouting about it, in recent years, has come from the right. But suddenly, now, they're against it. You don't correct a problem by going extreme in the reverse.
Let's see what the turnout is like. But I still say it's a huge waste of taxpayer money, given that this administration created a Department of Government Efficiency. Most Americans polled do not think it's a good use of their money to hold that parade. And his other numbers are tanking, too.
