New York Times Cries Over Illegal Alien Arrests

The headline in the Sunday edition of the New York Times caught my attention: “Immigrant Workers Caught in Net Cast for Gangs”

This is really how it should have been written; Illegal Aliens Caught in Net Cast for Illegal Alien Gang Members

The New York Times is loath to say the truth – they prefer to refer to Illegal Aliens as Immigrants — which is an insult to all those who immigrated to United States legally — I was one of them.

The article refers to a raid by ICE on September 27th in Greenport, Long Island, with the assistance of the local Police Department. The raid was part of “Operation Community Shield”, a two-year-old national program singling out violent [Illegal Alien] gang members for deportation. Only 1 of the 11 arrested had gang ties, BUT they were ALL Illegal Aliens.

According to the article, nearly 17% of Greenport’s 2,500 residents “are Hispanic” — how many of them are ILLEGAL?

Instead the Times cries for these law breakers, “At one house where the agents were looking for Mr. Fuentes, they arrested three men who had been asleep in separate bedrooms when an aunt opened the door. Two were cousins from El Salvador, Marvin Lopez, 21, a packer of baby vegetables at Satur Farm in Cutchogue, and Omar Lopez, 25, a Shelter Island landscaper, who had been asleep with his fiancée and infant son. The third man, Valentin Rudy Escobar Montenegro, a Guatemalan carpenter, also was with his wife and baby…… from a separate apartment upstairs — four Guatemalan landscapers who had worked for the same Shelter Island company for five years.”

I say great, deport the illegal aliens who snuck into our country and arrest the Illegal Alien Criminals and deport them too!

According to Julie L. Myers, assistant secretary of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, “Violent foreign-born gang members and their associates have more than worn out their welcome,” Ms. Myers said at an October news conference announcing the arrests of 1,313 people in the operation over the summer and fall nationwide. “And to them I have one message: Good riddance.”

However the New York Times doesn’t believe we have an Illegal Alien problem because they are out to trumpet the “rights” of their so-called “immigrants”, or “migrants.” Not only are they wrong on the issue they are on the wrong side of what the American people want — strong border and illegal alien enforcement.
