To the editor: In Los Angeles Times on Monday, a card writer said that his Latin keys and his gardener do not fear the immigration and customs' immigration raids because they legally came here (“Letters to the editor: two readers do not agree on the statements of racial profiles in ice raids”, June 27).
In the same number, there was a story about a man born in Korean who also legally came here and is an American citizen (“The veteran of the Los Angeles Army with a purple heart autodesports to South Korea under a threat of deportation,” June 27). He deported because he was under threat of deportation due to drug sentences of almost 20 years.
Undoubtedly, the card writer would point out that his keys of keys and gardener have not violated any law. But that loses the point.
The point is that in the current climate, if someone with authority decides that they want your keys or gardener or you outside the country, you will find a way to do it.

To the editor: Ok, I confess that my ancestors were illegal immigrants. They put on squatting here without permission on land that was not his. They brought mortal diseases that the locals had never seen before. They claimed to be refugees, but they never registered with anyone, they never obtained a green card and refused to leave.
When did they come? In 1620 at Mayflower. Caramba, maybe I should deport himself. I hear that England is pleasant at this time of year.
