“Go home.”

I’m fucking crying from the “feels good” song that I haven’t heard in years...

If everyone just called Taddi Mason we wouldn’t have any of these problems.

The best part is where America IS the “home country” for these kids. Depending on their situation they may not even speak the language of wherever they’re being sent to. Or have any family there. So they’re just dumping them in a foreign country and going “Figure it out. Not our problem anymore.”

Were they delivered by boat in the middle of the night and paid for with unmarked bills?

Yeah a lot of the Falklands effort had US intervention, such as the very hush hush major supplying of arms and equipment because we had bugger all.

Also the fact it was ceded by Spain anyway around 300 years ago.

We’ll keep it. The people there are all British nationals and they want to stay under British control, same as the Falklands. This isn’t like the Indian Ocean Territory where other peoples were forcibly evicted in recent times.

UK Update:

Agreed. Laws are intended to protect good citizens. When they hurt good citizens then it’s the law that needs changed. Or else, you know, we’d still have slavery and women wouldn’t have the right to vote. That used to be “the law” you know.

There’s a difference between what is legal and what is just. There was a time in our nation when women were not legally able to vote or blacks were slaves, and legally 3/5 of human being. Today, legal gerrymandering exist, and whole slew of things that are legal, but not just. It is up to us to aspire to be better for

Fuck

America is pretty much the land of the immigrants. Native Americans or "indians" as you call them were there before you.

Slavery used to be legal in this country, did it being a law make it right? You are a complete moron.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write that. I hope your ex is a reader, too, and I hope something in José's story may inspire him, and others like him, to seek their own deferred action and move forward with a productive and happy life.

Owen, I just wanted to thank you so much for writing this. Years ago I knew someone like this, dated him for a few years. His story and Jose's are very, very similar except that the depression that my ex felt as a result of this situation got to him so much that he eventually cut me and many others that cared about

There are very few people less charitable and petty than people that immigrate legally. It's great you did! Good for you. He didn't. He was brought here as a one year old. If your mind really can't wrap itself around the concept that maybe such circumstances merit deferred action, then you've gone too far in adopting

So you choose to adhere strictly to the law as a basis for moral behavior, irrespective of ideas of the social contract or of universal ethical principles which transcend the law.

you're an ass

You sound white.
