186. so if I get pulled over for a DUI and say that I'm Joseph Mengele

Fri Jan 6, 2012, 05:04 PM

Jan 2012

the worst of the worst war criminals.

does ICE just shrug their shoulders and deport me? or perhaps is there something more that they should do before taking that step?

and yes, if they can't identify the DUI arrestee, they'll hold them at least until they can, but in no case should they be unsure when they're actually deporting somebody.

because now, we're having trouble getting this minor child back, and it seems like things have happened to her while she was gone --and she never should've been deported in the first place.

just imagine that you have the same name as a terrorist or criminal...if they did the amount of checking they did for this girl --you could find yourself deported and facing extraordinary rendition.

this begs for better verification and apologists for NOT doing so are justifying some pretty awful stuff in the process.

What does that mean to you? EFerrari Jan 2012 #71

What crimes should 14 year old's be exempted for? If she was who she said she was, should she Snake Alchemist Jan 2012 #83

If anything, there was a crime committed against her by the agencies entrusted EFerrari Jan 2012 #91

You did not answer: If she had been who she claimed to be, should she have been deported? nt Snake Alchemist Jan 2012 #92

she shouldn't be deported for crimes she didn't commit CreekDog Jan 2012 #100

If you claim to commit crimes, then sometimes you are punished for those crimes. Snake Alchemist Jan 2012 #105

We have juvenile courts for precisely these cases. EFerrari Jan 2012 #50

I doubt a presumed illegal alien would be tried in juvenile court. nt Snake Alchemist Jan 2012 #55

It was very easy to show she wasn't the wanted Colombian woman obamanut2012 Jan 2012 #63

You worked on the case as well? nt Snake Alchemist Jan 2012 #89

The finger prints would show that she's not the wanted woman. neverforget Jan 2012 #149

So we're sure she had fingerprints on file? Snake Alchemist Jan 2012 #156

are you seriously trying to defend ICE? fascisthunter Jan 2012 #206
