Juan Mann In The Daily Business Review

I was recently interviewed via e-mail by Lynn
Waddell, a reporter writing for Florida Lawyer
and the Daily Business Review in South Florida
for a story focusing on “the changes in immigration
since 9-11 and how they have the affected asylum seekers
in particular.”

So far, I still haven`t seen the full story which
appeared in

Daily Business Review on January 27, 2005, as
“Special Report: Immigration Law,” by Lynn Waddell –
with the following tantalizing summary:

“Hala Ahmed, whose
husband is in jail in Sudan because of his political
views, left her country last April and arrived in Miami
seeking political asylum. But her initial treatment here
made her feel like a common criminal. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement . . .”

From this opening, it sounds like the makings of a
typical pro-Treason
Lobby sob story. But there`s hope.

Here are the comments I sent Ms. Waddell on
particular issues she was interested in:

• use of electronic ankle
  bracelets?

Juan comment:
Smells like another scheme to get illegal aliens and
criminal alien residents out of immigration detention
and postpone removals cooked up by the DHS (Department
of Homeland Security) and the private immigration bar.
But here`s the real question: why are the illegal aliens
and criminal alien residents hanging around so long in
the supposed "deportation process" in the first place??
Why the need for bracelets at all? The real problem here
is the federal litigation gateway of the EOIR (Executive
Office for Immigration Review) Immigration Court hearing
system, as I`ve already written at length [VDARE.COM
archive —

Deport Aliens] and which has been

echoed by author Michelle Malkin in her 2002 book,
"INVASION
— How America Still Welcomes Terrorists, Criminals,
and Other Foreign Menaces to Our Shores."

• the increased use of local
  and state law enforcement in immigration enforcement?

JUAN COMMENT: Desperately needed for the nationwide
enforcement of our immigration laws. But any alarm bells
that such a thing is already happening are simply false.
That`s a myth being spread by the Treason Lobby and its
handmaidens in private immigration law practice to whip
up sympathy for their clients, and an attempt to sway
public opinion toward a misplaced sympathy for illegal
aliens and criminal alien residents. The truth:
immigration law enforcement against non-terrorist aliens
by the DHS (Department of Homeland Security) is as
dismal as it ever was under the former INS (Immigration
and Naturalization Service).

• claims made by human rights
  groups that Haitians are being unfairly targeted for
  deportation?

JUAN COMMENT: Rubbish! Doesn`t every private
immigration attorney think that their particular client
is being "unfairly targeted" for removal,
compared to the general lack of immigration law
enforcement nationwide?

It`s the same when the private immigration bar
suddenly becomes concerned with saving taxpayer
dollars…when they argue that it will "save valuable
government resources" if their illegal alien client
is released from ICE (Immigration and Customs
Enforcement) detention and set free to roam across
America.

Consider the source – and follow the money trail.

[VDARE.COM.COMMENT: We
were able to obtain a copy, and it`s available now on
VDARE.COM. In fact, while it starts out with the typical
feel-good thing about Ms. Ahmed, who may be a bona fide
refugee, it manages to mention that she arrived using

false documents, quotes several pro-enforcement
officials, and even gives Juan the last word, on the
"money trail" to the immigration lawyers.]
