I take back one of those cheers for Davis.

Only two cheers, and one of them half-hearted.
They reviewed his case from their correspondence years ago. Apparently, the previous deportation order does trump the Work Permit and pending Green Card. How? Why? Under what grounds does my brother deserve to be deported to a country where the best he could hope for is life imprisonment in a labor camp? Oh yeah, he was smuggled into the country, as a child, by a deadly gang. What a criminal. Maybe we can start rounding up Eastern European sex slaves and send them off for execution too. After all, they're engaging in prostitution. That is the logic of the US government in this matter. Sounds like the logic of a psychopath to me.
I'm beginning to think that the increase in recent deportations isn't really an increase, only an increase in media coverage of the deportations. I don't know. It could be that it isn't election year politics, but a failure of a system coming to light at a politically inconvenient time. Let's hope that our representatives in DC can muster up the compassion to deal with illegal immigrants in a humane way. And let's also hope that those who are absolutely opposed to the humanity of illegal immigrants (The Tancredo Team) meet an illegal immigrant or two and realizes that they're human. They have the same needs and wants as you and I. The only thing they lack is the opportunity to obtain them.
