Alas- what seems not to be understood is that in this "emotional" custody battle the child in question was the citizen of another country and an illegal alien here. The "custody" matter was ludicrous and the only reason ANYONE would support people as pathetic as the Miami Cubans as guardians for a small child was that they were not communist Cubans. I have never seen people so unfit to raise a child- and there is NO WAY if this thing had been kicked to family court that ANY court (except one run by commie haters) would take a child from his father to give him to distant dysfunctional relatives. Of course family court was LEGALLY the wrong place for this matter to be and THANK GOD we follow the rule of law in this country instead of some sort of tyranny of the patriotic tear ducts. "A law abiding American family"- this one had me ROFL. They had an illegal alien in their home they had been ordered to surrender and they belligerently challenged the authority of the US to determine it's own policy over illegal aliens- which is a vital sovereign function.<p>
The INS has complete jurisdiction over illegal aliens. It has the right to give them parole and the right to revoke that parole. It further has the right to decide TO whom parole will be given and by what system parole matters shall be considered. If any citizen of this country- after looking at the ENTIRE scope of INS cases in this area -should feel that the INS is running amok then those citizens should get busy and start helping all the thousands of aliens who would like to stay here in this country and stop concentrating on the two that don't.<p>
Thanks goodness the vast majority of Americans DO have some common sense. I am greatly encouraged by the response of the majority of Americans and bemused by that small minority that will continue to jump up and down and scream about Bill Clinton and Janet Reno.
