NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Chinese food delivery man was found trapped in a broken elevator on Tuesday, more than three days after he was reported missing, police said.
Ming Kung Chen, 35, who worked for the Happy Dragon restaurant in the Bronx, was reported missing late Friday when he did not return an hour after setting out on a delivery.
Police said he was found at about 6 a.m. (1000 GMT) on Tuesday and was hospitalized with dehydration. Police were unable to question him immediately because he did not speak English.
Newspapers had reported the Chinese community feared that Chen, who is from Fuzhou province in China, might have been a victim of robbery or foul play by immigrant smugglers.
What isn't mentioned in this article is that the deliverman was an illegal alien, or what the MSM generally refers to as an "undocumented" immigrant. The Miami Herald refers to illegal immigrants as "aspiring immigrants" .
You can call a pile of manure a rose, but it still stinks. If a person is in this country without making legal entry with proper documentation, they are here illegally and breaking the laws of this country.
I've said many times, I welcome all legal immigrants, legal being the operative word. America was built on the backs of immigrants, going back to the Pilgrims, and even to the first native Americans who walked across the land bridge from Asia to Alaska. I would gladly accept President Bush's Guest Worker plan, or whatever it's called, if the illegal immigrant would return to their country of origin and follow the proper procedures to enter the US. If they can't return to their country of origin for some reason, how about returning to the last country they entered legally and beginning the process from there?
I'm not going into the terrorist issue, because that's an entirely different issue than that of illegal immigrants. I wasn't going to discuss the Minuteman Project yet, but as of yesterday, they had stopped nearly two hundred people from crossing into America from Mexico. Until I know differently, I will assume those people were coming into the US for legal reasons, if not legally, and not to be involved in terrorist acts.
How can we accept with open arms people who willingly and knowingly break our laws from the moment they enter America? And before anyone comments that Americans break laws everyday, we're not discussing Americans breaking laws, we're talking about people coming into this country who want to take what law abiding immigrants get for obeying the laws of this country. Some come here to work, to earn a living to support and to create a better future for their families. Others come for the opportunity to break our laws, the first being entering illegally.
I wasn't sure what to think about the Minuteman Project. From what I've seen and heard so far, it's a good thing, to quote another famous felon. We're using resources that should be going to legal residents and citizens to support people who do not have enough respect for America to obey our laws. Instead, those resources are going to people who are here to milk America for all they can get.
Once an immigrant has arrived legally, give them access to those resources. Until then, no. America is the most generous country on the face of the earth. And we're being taken advantage of. It's time to stop.
