I Dream of The Rose of Alabamy

This trip they promised to Alabama last week, the descriptions and bias are no less skewed than those they describe. Comments will be inserted in blue.

Hi DREAM Supporter
Well Alabama is definitely a different place. By different, do you mean a place where citizens expect law enforcement to enforce the law?  When we first arrived almost a week ago we were assured by many local advocates that ICE was different here, 'ICE isn't detaining folks here.' I wonder who might have said that, maybe a member of the Dream Police?  We stepped out of Birmingham and it is a different story. We have not been able to go a day without hearing of someone who has been harassed by local police or detained by ICE.
Take Christian for example, he is 17 years-old. Instead of spending the last month in high-school he has been locked up in the local jail. His crime? Being brown and from Mexico. Apparently, though our author does not say it Cristian is an illegal alien.  He was initially arrested after a routine traffic stop and sent to jail. Thankfully he was released, however the officer wasn't satisfied. I would big to differ, when Christian was initially detained he was processed by the system and released.  Three days later while Christian was taking his girlfriend to the rodeo the same officer saw him, "why are you here, you should have been in Mexico by now!"  So the officer acts as he is bound by law, and is surprised to learn that an illegal alien has been set free.  I would express disappointment as well, and an expectation that the law be enforced is not evidence of racism or a subversive coalition against "freedom" of illegal aliens to travel where ever the hell they feel like.
The officer re-arrested Christian and he has spent the last month in jail. Christian's family was told ICE would be detaining him today. Tough break dude, but you are an illegal alien who was discovered by routine traffic infraction.   We need your support to make sure ICE stay's clear of Christian, make a call to John Morton's office and demand ICE not detain Christian.  I will call, if you want, but I am going to suggest you check out where the rest of Christian's family is.
"Hi, I am calling to demand that ICE officials not detain Christian Edgar Luna from the Jefferson County Jail in Alabama. Christian is only 17 and is DREAM Act eligible. Christian was racially profiled, why are ICE agents supporting this behavior?"  Duh, maybe because it is the law?
There is a lot of work to do here in Alabama. The normal isn't at play her in Alabama, here the policies being put in place are trying to drive out the Latino community through attrition. Basically, 'let's make life so difficult for people that they just get up and leave.' Obeying the law is so difficult for people used to being allowed to reside illegally without concern for deportation.  Schools may no longer be allowed to check the status of students but that doesn't stop other students from constantly asking the 'brown' students for papers.  While we are at it, why should people have to present papers to be allowed to vote?  After all these illegal aliens expect other rights granted to citizens, why not the whole scope?
The climate created here in Alabama is a very dangerous one. Let's stop Christian from being detained by ICE so we can get to work on other cases.  Ship him back to Mexico, Christian is a proven illegal alien.
Thanks for your call and your continued support!
Much love,
