Poor Illegal Alien Deportees

Your heart bleeds for them as you see their sad puppy dog, psychotic eyes in the slideshow, their bodies being groped up against the wall, the handcuffs, waist chains humilating them. Who are they? They are illegal aliens from Salvador, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Guatemala, Jamaica and Honduras.

About 45 percent of the deportees had been convicted of violent crimes. Others had committed offenses as minor as public drunkenness.

And stretching a long leg into the aisle from seat 9C was Oscar Barilla, 25, whose chest and back were tattooed with the gothic letters and fearsome symbols of his gang, Mara lvatrucha, or MS-13. Barilla consented to be photographed for this article, but, like the other 15 gang members aboard, he refused to be interviewed.

Rafael Llano, a tall Dominican with dreadlocks, took his box with a scowl. A resident of the United States since he was 8, Llano said he felt out of place on the flight. "I went to school here. My mom, my dad, all my brothers live here," Llano, 22, said in unaccented English. "I'm as American as the president. The only difference between us is that he has a piece of paper proving it. It makes me so angry." Llano said he was a permanent resident but lost that privilege when was convicted on drug charges and sentenced to five years in prison. Now, he said, "I'm going to a place where I'm a stranger, where I don't know nothing from nothing."

Sucks to be them. If they had followed and obeyed the rules of this country, they wouldn't be in their positions today. The Washington Post makes them look like they are being displaced, that they are dignified while also being pathetic? That makes me angry.

Michelle Malkin has more insight on the Washington Post's sympathetic and biased reporting and the MS-13 (the most violent and dangerous gang in the US) gang members deported.

Old War Dogs and Blog-O-Fascists have no sympathy.
