ABC’s long-running medical drama, Grey’s Anatomy, featured a poor immigrant whose wife and son were “caged like animals” by evil U.S. immigration officials and a doctor who put her career and the hospital’s reputation at risk to perpetrate insurance fraud to help the foreigner.
The May 2 episode, entitled “What I Did For Love,” featured an immigrant man who entered the U.S. on a visa with his four-year-old daughter. But the girl becomes sick with an unknown illness and the immigrant, Luis (Omar Leyva), took her to the E.R., Newsbusters wrote.
The character explained to the doctors that he came to the U.S. and found a job before applying for asylum. The show blithely ignores the fact that seeking a job in the U.S. is not grounds for asylum and that, legally, would-be asylum seekers are supposed to apply for asylum before entering the U.S. and before “finding a job.”
Naturally, the episode does not note that the practice of separating children from immigrant parents began under the Barack Obama administration, nor does the show inform viewers that it is only illegals that are subject to the policy. It is likely that if Luis was in the U.S. on a legal visa, then his wife and son would also likely be coming in on a visa and would not be subject to the separation policy.
Luis is also fearful of the costs of the E.R. visit as he has no insurance. Since he has a job, he says he wants to pay. “I clean office buildings in Belltown. And I pay taxes. I am not asking for something for nothing. And I’m going to buy one of those policies as soon as I have enough,” he tells the E.R. doctor.

California’s Attorney General, Democrat Kamala Harris, has weighed in on the side of an immigrant who is asking the State Supreme Court to award him a California law license after his graduation from law school despite that he’s neither a legal resident nor a naturalized citizen of the United States of America.
Chicago area Congressman Luis Gutierrez has been harping on the immigration issue for many years and since Obama was elected he has stepped up that activism. Gutierrez wants complete amnesty and an open border and he’s been unhappy with the Obama Administration for its lack of movement on the issue. Now he’s threatening not to support Obama’s 2012 reelection bid over his stymied immigration bill.
President Barack Obama will soon introduce the Undocumented Resident’s Affirmative Toleration Act (URAT) in order to protect those unfortunate minorities that didn’t win life’s lottery by being born in the U.S.A. President Obama’s compassion for these downtrodden and oppressed peoples is well known, but he wants particular attention paid to those human beings that white Arizona racists have mercilessly attacked with their new ultra strict, unheard of anti-minority resident laws.
This morning Ben Smith of Politico posted a story that essentially mislead readers about what newfound conservative hero Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey thought about immigration. Smith’s article spun Christie into an “amnesty” supporter when it doesn’t seem he is. One has to wonder why Smith did this?
Wisconsin Democrat Peggy West says that we shouldn’t accept Arizona’s anti-illegal immigrant law because Arizona isn’t a border state. If it were, West apparently thinks, we could excuse Arizona’s worries over the integrity of its borders. Peggy West is obviously no geography scholar.
