“Illegal Immigrant” 2007 Texan of the Year and ICE Deceiving Unsuspecting People
âºThe Undocumented win Dallas paper Award
The Dallas Morning News said the undocumented worker “breaks the law by his very presence” hustling to do jobs many Americans will not do, the consumer economy depends on him and may not survive without him. As a result, the newspaper from Texas decided to name the illegal immigrant, the 2007 Texan of the year.
The article noted their contributions to the economy and how the immigrant will come as long as there are jobs, no matter the risk. Antonio, an accountant from Mexico came to the United States and worked in a restaurant because he was making more money. A construction business owner said the immigrants were more reliable. Both feared revealing their complete names to the Dallas Morning News.
The paper mentioned that Latinos will be the majority in Texas by 2020 and the way this is handled in Texas, will also be handled in many other states.
“What you think of the illegal immigrant says a lot about what you think of America, and what vision of her you are willing to defend,” The Dallas Morning News said. “How we deal with the stranger among us says not only who we Americans are today but determines who we will become tomorrow.”
âºICE Says Controversial Raids are Within the Law
In interviews with The Record, a newspaper out of Northern New Jersey, critics of immigration raids say that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is violating the Constitution. ICE counters with the organization having valid search warrants and that the agents are taught the law.
The controversy lies in ICE officers shining flashlights at people’s faces, knocking loud, and dangling guns. Some couples in New Jersey were arrested when ICE said that they were looking for a “Luis Borges”. Then ICE would ask New Jersey residents if they could provide legal identification, when they couldn’t, they were deported.
The report concluded that ICE has a lot of support in tougher immigration law, even with a Seton Hall University’s Center for Social Justice Attorney, Bassina Farbenblum saying that immigration officials have “every right to place people in deportation proceedings.”
