David Marcus argues that all illegal immigrants, regardless of race or background, including white Irish immigrants like Seamus Culleton, should be subject to deportation under immigration laws.
In a piece for Fox News, David Marcus discusses the case of Seamus Culleton, an Irish illegal immigrant who was recently arrested by ICE after overstaying his visa for nearly two decades. Culleton's supporters point to his pending green card application, marriage to an American, and lack of violent crime as reasons to allow him to remain in the U.S. However, Marcus asserts that these factors do not change the fact that Culleton's prolonged stay is illegal and that he has an active deportation order.
Marcus emphasizes the hypocrisy surrounding immigration debates, particularly the idea that immigration enforcement is racially motivated. He critiques the left's stance that highlights immigrant cases based on racial identity while ignoring legal violations. In Culleton's case, Marcus argues that the focus should be on the legality of immigration status rather than the immigrant's race, contending that laws should apply universally, regardless of ethnicity.
The article ultimately calls into question the narratives surrounding illegal immigration and the racial dynamics often implied in discussions about deportation. By highlighting the case of a white Irish immigrant, Marcus challenges the assumption that deportation efforts disproportionately target people of color and argues for strict adherence to immigration laws for everyone equally.
