Another Stupid Immigration Story

Stupid immigration stories like this one are showing up in the news with amazing regularity. This one, Michigan Family Looks to Congress to Fight Deportation Order After Being in U.S. For 18 Years, is about a family who came to the U.S. to flee from Communist aggression in Laos. While in Laos, the family were our allies. Now, the U.S. government is turning their back on their old allies.

The Vang family has been in the U.S., legally, working with the incompetent bureaucrats in the federal government, trying to become legal citizens — for eighteen years. During that time, they have raised a family, started a successful business, and been upstanding members of the community. These folks epitomize the American dream. They should be on a recruiting poster for America, not in a bureaucratic courtroom being threatened with deportation.

The Vangs are exactly the type of immigrants this county needs to attract in order for America to remain the greatest country on Earth. We need to get our bureaucratic government regulations more in line with our traditional American values.

It’s probably too late for the Vangs. Their family is about to be torn apart by a bunch of mindless bureacrats following the letter of their senseless regulations while completely failing to grasp the spirit that is America.
