I'm empathetic Wolf. But the law is the law. Why didn't he apply for citizenship? He certainly had decades to do that. I come from a long line of Veterans and love & respect our military. But I believe firmly that they fought and died to uphold the law.

Did you read the article or did you just see something critical of the current administration and start typing?

José Barco DID apply for citizenship. During his service. His application was lost by the government. He applied again. It was still pending when he got deported. The system failed him, not the other way around.

Sae Joon Park came here when he was seven years old. He served. He got shot twice. He came home with PTSD like a lot of combat veterans do. He struggled with substance abuse like ONE IN THREE veterans do according to the ACLU. He got clean. He stayed clean for fourteen years. And they deported him anyway.

You say "the law is the law." Okay. Kristi Noem signed a letter saying she deported eight veterans. Then she sat in front of Congress under oath and said she deported zero. That is perjury. That is a federal crime. Is the law the law for her too, or just for the guys who took bullets for this country?

Your ancestors who came here - did they have to apply for citizenship or did they just show up at Ellis Island and walk in? Because mine did. Most of ours did. The laws were different then. The system was different then. These men were told they would have a path to citizenship through service and then the path disappeared.

I appreciate that you come from a military family. So do I. But "I support the troops" means nothing if you only support them when it is convenient. These men upheld their end of the deal. They served. They bled. They watched friends die. The least we can do is not throw them out of the country they fought for because they struggled when they came home from war.

Read the article again. Slowly this time.

OK I got it. They deport veterans. I talked to one person in Mexico that gave a similar stories...one little misdeed and they boot them out. I think the Korean National in question needed to take advantage of the free lawyers the military provided back then, but I don't fault him for getting discouraged. He re-applied, can't tell when, but they obviously dragged their feet and then deported which is a shame.

I agree NO ONE with proper court or other forms of adjudication should be deported.

In terms of Ellis Island, there was quarantine and paper work to fill out. 3 out of 4 sides of my family came via Ellis Island before the fall of the Ottoman Empire and before WWI. My great Grandmother who lived until 104, and I knew personally listed herself as a "Hungarian Hebrew" the year she got in, but WAS SENT BACK to the Austrian Hungarian Empire, she looked too young. She immigrated a year later and got her citizenship. Why come to the USA? She did not like the match made by her father. :)

I am so angry I can barely compose my thoughts, so I thank you, Wise Wolf, for doing such a great job of that here. I will simply say that “the law “ is nothing without compassion or understanding, and that is one reason that in our courts we have juries and judges. As more and more of us know, many of our own laws in this country have been influenced by the extremely wealthy and therefore unduly powerful, and power sometimes trumps the law and I do not use that word randomly, since we currently have someone at the helm of our government who has already been convicted of 34 felonies. How does that happen? And how does that stack up against sending a soldier who fought for the benefit of the rest of us out of the country he calls home?

The entire regime needs the 25th amendment.

ICEHOLES are no different than the SS, or Schutzstaffel, (except less training ) which was originally formed in 1925 as Adolf Hitler's personal bodyguard unit and evolved into a powerful paramilitary organization responsible for many of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust. Under Heinrich Himmler, it became a key instrument of Nazi terror, overseeing concentration camps and enforcing the regime's racial policies.

I think that anyone who volunteers to serve this country in the military should automatically be granted citizenship upon honorable discharge. What happened to Mr. Park is a disgrace.

Good article once again. Linking today as usual @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/

Also like your stance on AI "BS"!

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

Dude I am so sick of puppet people that figured out how to use Grok trying to argue with me thinking it makes them seem 'intelligent'. They don't even bother to read the output before pasting it. The one person was literally pasting an argument against me and then used Grok to 'verify' her stance and Grok even said I was right but she pasted it anyways because these people are not reading anything. They are dopamine junkies. They hop from one article and video to the next without even watching or reading it, type a prompt for Grok, then paste it and click send and move on to the next one. It's like heroin addicts but worse in my opinion because the worse thing a junkie (usually) does is black out from their fix. These people are destabilizing the nation.

Personally, I don't give " 2 💩 💩" about what other people think about on any of my posting or replies in comment sections on Substack or my website.

I try to look at everything truthfully and state things as I feel. Often times I show both sides of a narrative so people have all the information.

The best thing to do when you get idiots commenting is totally ignore them and just tone them out and not give them the time of day. I know that is hard to do sometimes, but in the long run it works and you won't lose any sleep over it.

Most of these types won't listen to rationality anyway. When you don't respond to them it deflates their ego and they usually move on to the next target. These are basically insecure people who have no other life other than Substack.

AS A FORMER USAF EOD TECH I AM EMBARRAISSED HOW MY COUNTRY TERATS MY FELLOW VETERANS. AS I VISIT THE AMERICAN LEGION, THE VFW AND THE VA CLINIC AND HOSPITAL I HEAR WAR STORIES OF VETERANS NOT BEING TEATED WITH THE RESPCTED THEY SO WELL DERERVED. AS FAR AS THE GOVERMENT DEPORTING OUR HEREOS THIS IS ANOTHER CASE OF THE TRUMP ADNINAISTRATION GONE WILD. WITH NO ADULT IN THE ROOM ! IJUST HOPE THAT AMERICA CAN LOOK AT IT'S SELF AND FIND A WAY TO BRING THESE VETERANS HOME . MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA.

The truth is much deeper than what you represent here, and assumes nefarious intentions on her and the administration's part, including ignoring factual and video evidence of Good's tragic and totally avoidable death, caused by hateful rhetoric and paid protesters. All of which are provided by the very people you wish to now agree with and support. I too am interested in understanding the reason's for deporting veterans, and believe that new immigrant legislation needs to provide an expedited path to those who serve honorably. An investigation should start with requesting an investigation from Noem, followed by a public explanation as to what happened and why. This is what I will guarantee you, however, Noem does not see or approve every single deportation, and may not have been aware that any had happened, without cause, at the time of the hearing. Maybe this assumption is wrong, but I at least, am interested in asking the question prior to condemnation.

Tony Parthens's avatar

Yep. I’ll be honest, with respect to the author, this reads like some leftist propaganda and fake outrage. Lots of left out information and misrepresentations

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

Such as what Tony? What parts are 'leftist propaganda and fake outrage'? What information did I leave out? You can't just make a comment like this without backing it up with RESEARCH AND DATA like I did. Every damn thing I said in this article was researched and fact-checked by myself, my editor, and 3 separate Agentic LLM systems that I trained myself and correlated with another 2 LLM systems that I pay hundreds of dollars a week to subscribe to. I fact-check EVERYTHING I say so people like you cannot write your slop, halfwit comments but you people still do it. I doubt you even read past the headline before writing your comment.

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

You didn't read the article, did you? I literally talk about Noem signing a document stating that 8 veterans were deported and then a few days later lying under oath claiming zero have been deported.

I agree with everything else you had to say but you clearly did not read the entire article if you missed that part. It is the literal lynchpin of the entire article.

Michael Woods's avatar

If there is one thing that has been consistent for sometime, it is the mass dissemination of false or incomplete information disguised as authoritative truth.

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

Thank God I have subscribers like you Mike that I can actually have an intelligent dialogue with about hard to face facts. Half of the comments I have had on this article, I had to delete them because the people are saying things that remind me of a monkey smashing keys on a typewriter until something somewhat intelligible comes out.

Michael Woods's avatar

I did read it and intend to check on its veracity and explanation myself asap

Nathaniel Parry's avatar

I appreciate you highlighting some problematic cases that definitely deserve attention. Personally, I would support reopening Sae Joon Park's case and consider allowing him to return.

However, I can't help but note that you left out some pretty significant details. He has several criminal convictions that resulted in his green card being revoked and a removal order issued. Of course, I understand that maybe he deserves some special consideration for his military service and his possibly related addiction/PTSD issues, but at the same time, actions have consequences. If you are a guest in a foreign country and you break their laws, guess what -- you might just have your residence permit revoked. I know this because I am an American immigrant living in Denmark and the same thing would happen to me here if I got in trouble with the law, despite the fact that I have a family here and deporting me would be very sad. Actions have consequences.

The problem I have with so much of the ICE and immigration commentary is that it glosses over the details of complex cases and is geared more towards promoting a particular narrative than it is toward providing understanding of a complicated issue, pulling at the emotional heartstrings instead of appreciating the difficulties and nuances. The Renee Good story is another one -- reasonable people can disagree about whether the officer's use of lethal force was necessary but come on, she created that entire situation by making a series of terrible choices that ultimately led to her death.

Let's not pretend this issue is black and white.

Tony Parthens's avatar

Agreed. This article totally left out important details and kinda reads like rage bait. All respect to the authors

I am terminating my subscription with this misinformation propaganda & deception S&$T

Spoken like a Communist Socialist Democrat who doesn’t care about DILIGENT RESEARCHING TO FIND FACTS. Just in case you missed the part about the Professional Agitator/Stalker/Doxer who used her vehicle to attack a Federal Immigration Customs Enforcement Officer, he is bleeding internally and he had to get many stitches in his leg. The FAKENEWS MOCKINGBIRD MSM failed to report the FACTS. They cut/altered/edited the many videos that would have cleared this brave ICE agent. This is all about PoliticalWeaponization

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

Ma'am, I have been a registered Republican for over twenty years. I am a Christian. I am a libertarian-leaning conservative who has voted red in every election since I was old enough to vote. Calling me a "Communist Socialist Democrat" because I refuse to blindly swallow whatever lies the administration is feeding you does not make me a communist. It makes you a fool who cannot handle disagreement.

Now let us talk about your "facts." You claim the ICE agent was bleeding internally and needed many stitches in his leg. Show me the source. Show me the medical report. Show me anything other than you repeating what Kristi Noem said on television. Because Kristi Noem also said under oath that she had not deported a single veteran, and then a congressman held up an iPad with a deported Purple Heart recipient on Zoom and she sat there like a deer in headlights because she had just committed perjury on live television. So forgive me if I do not take her word as gospel.

You accuse me of not doing diligent research. I cited the actual testimony. I cited the letter Noem signed admitting to deporting eight veterans. I cited eyewitness accounts and video evidence that contradicts the administration's narrative. What did you cite? Nothing. You are repeating talking points you heard on TV and calling it research.

You know what is funny? You used the phrase "Mockingbird MSM" like you understand what Operation Mockingbird was. I have been writing about CIA media infiltration for years. I was writing about the Mockingbird program while you were still trusting Fox News to tell you the truth. Do not lecture me about media manipulation while you parrot government press releases verbatim.

You are not a paid subscriber. You have contributed nothing to this publication. And now you are threatening to unsubscribe like that is supposed to hurt my feelings. Go ahead. Leave. I do not write for people who want their biases confirmed. I write for people who want the truth even when it is uncomfortable. If you cannot handle an article that criticizes a Republican administration when that administration is lying, you were never going to make it here anyway.

The door is right there. Do not let it hit you on the way out.

Bobby's avatar

You have completely changed dude. You started out as a Christian and now have evolved as a judge and jury of the administration. Not that they are perfect they are not. However what the other side is doing to our Country is truly vile evil. However I really don’t see that much about it here, you appear to be stuck on a certain lane and have no desire to change lanes. It’s not about truth it’s about the Whole Truth. Just saying very disappointed, not that you care. However I have supported you in the past. I can’t support you on your digs of ICE officers they are going through hell just for doing their jobs, being injured, shot at in Tx, over 100 attempts of car rammed injuries. Their families and homes binging doxed. Naha you’re wrong on this one. Just saying what I see.

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

So you are saying that Veterans SHOULD be deported? Am I correct on that? Because you did not even read the article obviously. Unless you DID read it and are saying that VETERANS WHO FOUGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY SHOULD BE DEPORTED. For fuck's sake, I am so sick of dealing with people like you that read the headline, see that it is not pro-MAGA whatever, scan the article, maybe read an image caption or two, then go right to the comments to drop your two-cents.

Ya know why they call it 'your two-cents' because that is what your opinion is worth Bobby. Two cents.

I hate when people like you say the word 'dox' without even knowing what that means.

I can 'dox' anyone for 20 dollars on a dozen different background check websites.

Stop parroting whatever idiotic talking point gets shoved down your throat daily. You are not a parrot, right?

Some edits:

You are incorrect. The Immigration Act puts everything in perspective.

Illegal Agiens must be Vetted by Immigration Department Officials & they must verify their identities, file a Citizenship Application, Learn About Our Government & Our Three Departments of Government, and wait to be notified of their application has been approved.

“The Biden administration opened up the borders to allow 20,000 million UNVETTED people, including Drug Cartels, Human Sex Traffickers, Child Traffickers, Pedophiles, Criminal Prisoners who were released in Venezuela by Maduro (mostly Le Tren De Aragua Gang Members), & others from many other countries. Hmm 🤔 NOT ONE SINGLE SOCIALIST-DEM or FAKE NEWS MOCKINGBIRD MEDIA uttered any concerns. WHY? Simple: Turn our country into a Socialist State via Votes 🗳️ 🗳️ 🗳️ Time to look at the Big Picture. These Agitators/Protesters/Doxers/Insurrectionists who are preventing ICE from doing their diligent work to remove “ILLEGAL ALIENS” are harassed, blocked, subjected to bodily harm, etc. The FakeNews spews lies.

Please do your diligent research 🧐 Donald Trump won the Presidential Election in 2024 on his promises to Make America Great Again, carry out Deportations of ILLEGAL ALIENS, & INVESTIGATE THE MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MONEY LAUNDERING VIA USAID, etc. He created the Peace Agreement in The Middle East, Stopped Netanyahu from continuing with the attacks against Islamic Terrorists in Gaza.

Now he is enforcing THE IMMIGRATION ACT.

The Immigration Act was passed in 1924.

🐺The Wise Wolf's avatar

First of all, what the hell is an "Agien"? You wrote it twice so it is not a typo. Is that Greek? Are we deporting Greeks now too?

Second, you wrote all of that and not a single word about veterans. The article is about combat veterans being deported. Purple Heart recipients. Men who took bullets for this country. And you responded with a rant about the border and socialism and the 1924 Immigration Act like any of that has anything to do with a soldier who got shot twice in Panama being thrown out of the country he bled for.

You do not care about veterans. Just admit it. If you did, you would be furious that Kristi Noem lied under oath about deporting them. Instead you are in my comments section defending her and calling me a communist for pointing out that she committed perjury.

You want to talk about doing diligent research? The article was about VETERANS. You did not mention veterans once. You copied and pasted a rant that has nothing to do with anything I wrote because you did not read the article. You saw a headline that was not worshipping Trump and you lost your mind.

These non-citizen veterans are often lawful permanent residents (green card holders) who served in the military, but for various reasons—such as bureaucratic hurdles, lack of awareness, or other barriers—did not complete the naturalization process (which is expedited for military service members and veterans under U.S. law).

More recent data (e.g., from the Congressional Research Service in 2024) estimates about 115,000 foreign nationals residing in the U.S. who are veterans (including non-citizens), and around 40,000 foreign nationals currently serving in the armed forces. However, the specific 94,000 figure for non-citizen veterans continues to appear in advocacy, news, and policy discussions as a reasonable estimate, even if it's based on older data.

Note that this number refers to veterans at risk of issues like deportation if they commit certain offenses (since they lack the protections of citizenship), not that all have been deported. Some sources have occasionally misstated it as "deported veterans," but fact-checks clarify the 94,000 is about non-citizenship status, not deportation counts.

In summary, the statement aligns with established estimates from immigration and veterans' advocacy sources, making it accurate as of the most commonly cited figures. More up-to-date official breakdowns from the VA or USCIS do not contradict it but focus more on broader foreign-born or active-duty foreign national numbers. (Grok)

You copied and pasted my article into Grok, asked it to fact-check me, and then pasted the response here like you accomplished something?

Grok is the AI that people have been using to generate child pornography because Elon Musk built it with essentially no guardrails. That is the tool you are outsourcing your thinking to. If you are going to let an AI do your thinking for you, at least use Claude.ai. It's not a steaming pile of hot dumpster fire garbage like Grok and ChatGPT.

Louise Bekins's avatar

Interesting and very educational response for all of us. (1) I did not copy and paste your article into Grok or anywhere else., nor did not ask it to fact-check you. (Honestly I didn't even know one could do that. Thanks for the education :) (2) I am aware of the pornography on Grok, but that has nothing to do with what I posted. (3) I am not outsourcing my thinking to any source or person. (4) I gather information from may different sources.
