Father of Dead Soldier Deported

[QC]

Want to read something worth getting angry about? This story certainly puts today's orgy of candidate wars in perspective.

U.S. Army soldier Zeferino Colunga Jr. died four months ago from a mysterious illness he contracted while serving in Iraq and was buried with full honors in a Texas cemetery. Last week, with the family still in mourning, the soldier's father was deported to Mexico as an illegal immigrant. Now family members wonder if the deportation of Zeferino Colunga Sr. was connected to their public demand for an independent investigation into the young soldier's death.

5. And some us Brownies actually vote PUB??

Get a fucking clue guys,

they are using you,

and when you are done,

they will throw you away like a used napkin.

Don't believe me? Go check out the welfare ranks, many old people who worked hard all their lives for the Pubs and their Companys. Now that they too old, out with the trash. Bye, heres your watch.

20. Oh man I am SO with you on this one. It's a pet theme of mine.

The next reichwinger who tells me that racism is dead in this country, I swear I'm gonna bust him right in the mouth. The latest stunt they pull is to excerise it in the military. Hey all you Brown people, we need you to go die thousands of miles away for Halliburton and the egos and prestige of the Bush family. But after you've shed your blood don't expect anything back because yiou're all a bunch of illegals anyway.

This makes me feel violent.

2. How incredibly Vile!

This is beyond merely evil. This is reprehensible and banal.

3. Unbelievable

This from the man who campaigned as a "compassionate conservative".

4. Outrageous. Millions of illegal aliens in this country and

they deport one whose son died as a result of serving in the US Army?

6. 'Let 'em mow our lawns, pick our grapes, clean our houses

die in our wars', but criticize the government? Outahere!

7. Pretty low

They can go lower, but this is pretty god damned low.

How can these people sleep at night? How?

8. I'm hoping Dean's campaign sees this.

I know they've got people looking for this stuff, but this is dynamite. They need to know it.

9. But Ridge called today to give illegals citizenship...

You see, USA is short of foot soldiers. Immigrants are worthless flesh. Sending the young men and women of illegals to fight for bush's elitism should fill them with pride. Pride is enough for poor illegal immigrants.

Nothing turns my stomach more than to hear little man bush refer to our dead soldiers as 'they died with pride defending our freedom.' No, litttle man. They died defending your elite a$$.

10. Holy cow

That's outrageous.

All his son did was die for his country.

Disgusting.

12. I'm sending this to my freeper acquaintances.

Let them draw their own conclusions.

13. What an Indictment of Everything We Pretend to Stand For.

Next time you hear immigrant bashing, show them this story.

Heartbreaking.

14. This thread dupes

Salon: Dearly in the editorial forum.
However, I will comment here too.

Typical U$ imperialistic behavior! Just give the U$ your blood and sweat and don't expect anything.
And the guest workers in WWII were never paid the SS they were promised and Cardenas gave permission in WWII for Mexicans to join the US Army when the US asked for help and they got dickshit too.

17. *Bush the addict...

Addicts are not concerned with justice, just that their minions remain loyal to them - and their sickness.

18. Rethug fascists love minorities as long as they are cannon fodder

This makes me want to puke.

I live in a part of New Mexico where the military tries to recruit heavily. It's also, as you can imagine, majorly Hispanic here. There is some major racist crap going on with this administration, recruiting Brown people to go kill Brown people for the profits of a bunch of rich fat White people.

I wanna scream.
