22 Years Illegal Here......

The Scripps "news" organization specializes in Heartstring Propaganda.

Here's a sample.

 The detention by immigration authorities of a Chicago man whose 16-year-old daughter is undergoing treatment for advanced cancer is illegal, and he must be given a bond hearing by Oct. 31, a federal judge has ruled....

Maybe it is, maybe it ain't.  ICE didn't grab the guy because he was jaywalking one day.

 ...“We’re pleased that the judge ruled in our favor in determining that ICE is illegally detaining Ruben. We will now turn the fight to immigration court so we can secure Ruben’s release on bond while he applies for permanent residence status,” his attorney, Kalman Resnick, said in a statement Friday night.

Aaaaaannnnnnnnnd here comes the "Cry Along With Us" part: 

...Torres, a painter and home renovator, was detained at a suburban Home Depot store. His daughter, Ofelia Torres, was diagnosed in December with a rare and aggressive form of soft-tissue cancer called metastatic alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma and has been undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment....

Uh-huh.  (Side question:  who's paying for that very expensive treatment?)

Now for the Inconvenient Facts which Scripps is happy to bury: 

Torres entered the U.S. in 2003, according to his lawyers. He and his partner, Sandibell Hidalgo, also have a 4-year-old son. The children are both U.S. citizens, according to court records. 

So his shack-up main squeeze is ALSO an illegal.  Note well:  DHS/ICE is NOT tossing the shack-up out of the country.  Scripps "forgot" to mention that fact, didn't they?

... The Department of Homeland Security alleges that Torres has been living illegally in the U.S. for years and has a history of driving offenses, including driving without a valid license, without insurance, and speeding....

IOW, the guy has been an illegal for TWENTY TWO YEARS and is a threat to hundreds of other drivers and pedestrians in Illinois--not to mention their insurance carriers which will bear the cost burden when this character finally slams into someone.  Oh, and fighting with ICE agents while being apprehended is not very smart, either.

Suddenly, now, he decides to fill out the paperwork to "get on the path" to citizenship.........and we should put up with this crap?

Send him and the daughter to the Vatican for treatment.  He can paint buildings there, too.
