Someone sent us a link to a story<\/a> in San Rafael, California about Hugo Mejia, an illegal immigrant who was picked up by Travis Air Force Base security personnel when he showed up for some drywall work there. He showed those people the driver license that California issues to illegal immigrants and security ran his social security number through their system and discovered that he was an illegal alien, ,so they snagged him and handed him over to Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE). Now their local Congressman, Jared Huffman, is coming down on the side of politics instead of the law;<\/p>\n

According to Congressman Jared Huffman, Mejia’s only offense is showing up to work.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

“Mr. Mejia is being detained in prison conditions with violent criminals. He is a law abiding, upstanding member of this community,” Huffman said.<\/p>\n

In 2001, Mejia was caught trying to illegally cross the U.S. Mexico border and as a result has been placed in expedited deportation proceedings.<\/p>\n

Congressman Huffman says they are appealing to ice to try and give Mr. Mejia an opportunity for due process before he’s sent even farther away from his family.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

His only offense is showing up for work…well except for the offense of crossing the border between our countries without the proper permissions, which, by the way, is a crime.<\/p>\n

In order to maintain security on our military bases, security personnel need to know who is coming on those bases – when someone of doubtful reputation enters through those gates, it is incumbent on those security personnel to detain them and turn them over to law enforcement. If Senor Mejia was indeed “a law abiding, upstanding member of this community”, he would have no problem getting through those gates. But he’s a criminal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
