In what could be a dangerous trend, the Obama Administration has for the second time in a few weeks followed the orders of a Latin American nation demanding intervention on behalf of an illegal immigrant living in the United States…
This week Argentina’s government asked that an illegal immigrant in south Florida (Miyen Spinelli) be spared deportation and the administration obliged, according to news reports…
Argentine diplomats in Miami intervened this week, urging U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) not to deport Spinelli, who is described as a model student and athlete. Argentina’s Consul General actually requested that the illegal alien from his country be granted permanent U.S. residency, although the consul claims to be “respectful of American regulations.” It didn’t hurt that the South American official held a press conference to make the appeal.
A day later, ICE caved into the Argentine demand by suspending Spinelli’s imminent deportation.
