At the very least, it struck me as naive and quaint, especially with the way the government has rounded up and detained immigrants in recent years, in this very same neighborhood.
Which government has rounded up and detained immigrants in recent years?
Which government has rounded up immigrants in this very same neighborhood?
Who issued these orders? That "rabid right winger" Rudy Giuliani, who as mayor, sued all the way to the US Supreme Court to defend NYC's "sanctuary city" policy? Or maybe that other "Republican", Michael Bloomberg, who also endorses the "sanctuary city" policy? Or maybe it was that "commander in chief", Jorge W. Bush, who once told us, "I want to remind people that family values do not stop at the Rio Grande River. People are coming to our country to do jobs that Americans won't do, to be able to feed their families." Was it that guy?
When did this government round up immigrants in Jackson Heights? Why not substantiate this claim with evidence for all of us?

"Goodbye to the deluded and pathetic sophistry of postmodernists of the Left, who believe their unreadable, jargon-clotted theory-sophistry somehow helps liberate the wretched of the earth. If they really believe in serving the cause of liberation, why don’t they quit their evil-capitalist-subsidized jobs and go teach literacy in a Third World starved for the insights of Foucault?" - "Goodbye, Left-Wing Idiocy", Ron Rosenbaum, NY Observer, October 10, 2002"
