Another Deportation Story

Please read this story in today’s New York Times. It seems that over 30 Haitian earthquake survivors that were waved onto a rescue plane by U.S. Marines have run into some legal issues. It seems that upon arrival in the States, they were detained by Immigration officials. On top of that, as the INS is wont to do, these detainees haven’t been granted the basic services needed to deal with the psychological aftermath of the earthquake, instead they are being treated the same as the hundreds of thousands of detainees in the U.S. that have committed crimes. Its’ puzzling how situations like this occur. I really am interested in hearing some sort of explanation for this.
