Law Illegal Immigrant Des Moines School Superintendent Arrested By ICE to be Deported

[TUFNewb]

Bizarrely, he also competed for Guyana in the Olympics.

Literally sending their best.

This guy pulled some Catch Me If You Can shit. I'd let him stay if he agrees to use his skills to help bust fraudsters or something.

Just for anyone curious on this issue, Krystal Ball shredded Tomi Lahren to silence on her own show and one of the "gotcha" points Tomy tried was this case. While Krystal agreed that not completing his dissertation and representing on his resume that he did was wrong, he doesn't fit the stereotype of undocumented immigrants and has growing reviews of job performance from multiple States:

Also here is how his community is responding to his detention:

In Iowa, a sleepy city is moved to protest for a beloved superintendent detained by ICE

Despite questions swirling around Ian Roberts, the demonstrations on his behalf continue.

And thars Iowa. Not exactly a bastion of leftist ideology. But hey people actually working to try to improve the communities they're part of, well they're much easier targets.

Talk about integrating yourself into society and becoming a productive member of it. I don't think this is a case that the right wants to shine a flashlight on. It doesn't fit their narrative. This guy will illicit sympathy, and for good reason.

This guy pulled some Catch Me if you Can shit. I'd let him stay and employ him to catch fraudsters.

Ot let him stay and let him go on being the superintendent. Apparantly he was great at his job and well-liked.

So the fuck what?

He had 30 years... lol

I personally know two people I work and one girl I dated with who did it. One from Canada and one from Peru and one from Mexico.

I dated the Peruvian and she's a labor and delivery nurse. It took her 5 years... But wow! She did it. Amazing

Maybe he didn't because he had a record and knew he'd be deported on site. As he should have. But was sheltered by Democrat run cities. The Dude was able to lie about everything and Democrats didn't want to look too hard into his past now... did they?

This is a slap in the face of Democrat narratives about illegal immigration. Was he able to vote too?

Lawmaker reveals how Des Moines schools chief registered to vote despite illegal status

After an illegal alien named Ian Andre Roberts was found registered to vote in Maryland, Republican state Delegate Lauren Arikan revealed how she believes the mishap happened.

www.foxnews.com

Oh lookie there!! He did. And I'm sure he voted Democrat

How convenient

Believe me, my personal anecdotes with this far outnumber yours. Yes, it's possible but it's very hard unless you go through one of those paths. And the 5 years it took your ex is the minimum number of years to apply for citizenship AFTER having a green card. Going from illegal to green card is the tough part.

Having said that, yeah, it's kinda crazy that a smart, well-off guy like him didn't figure something out in that time. My point is, it's not a matter of "bothering to" the way most people think.

And the ABILITY to vote while undocumented was never in question. What was in question was how prevalent it was and if it had any effect on elections. Ask your 3 formerly illegal friends how they felt about voting before they got their citizenship. I'm sure they'll say it wasn't even a thought.

99.9999% of illegals won't even think about voting, let alone attempt it. This dude was in the 0.0001%

Better call the FBI, CIA, and the SWAT team for this one.

He still broke the law. He should be held accountable. His punishment should be to work a tedious and unfulfilling desk job at ICE. The restlessness gnawing at his soul until he contemplates returning to his criminal ways and his beloved fake superintendent job.

Exactly.

If anything, this is a great argument for immediate, generous amnesty. If you're illegal but have led a productive, crime-free life here, you get to be legal quick. A dude dedicated decades to public education and was competent enough to rise to superintendent should rocket to the front of the amnesty line.

This is the obvious conclusion a reasonable person would come to. Sadly, we are not dealing with reasonable people. "Fixing" the immigration issue is not this administrations goal.

And once you're illegal and inside the US, the two most realistic paths are: marry a US citizen and have them petition for you (best option), or have your adult, American child petition for you (very dicey).

He has a US citizen wife and was petitioning for a green card in 2018. Then immigration asked him for more information and he never responded and basically abandoned the application. That's his fault for not following through.

He could have gotten a green card.

And thars Iowa. Not exactly a bastion of leftist ideology.

When you take the internet out of it, most people are concerned about what affects them in their actual day to day life. So it's great deporting those people they don't know but not our illegal, he's a good guy who helps the community, have empathy.

Taxpayer money "diverted" to an illegal voter because he's superintendent of the schools.

Wow, this article is all sorts of inconvenient for a lot of different narratives.

Free Health Care Was Requested For Illegals - not for Legal Citizens. WTF?

WATCH: Maxine Waters Snaps When Asked About Healthcare for Illegal Aliens

When confronted outside the Capitol, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) was asked if Democrats are willing to shut down the U.S. government to prioritize healthcare for illegal immigrants. “Quit it. Stop it. This is the kind of journalism we don’t need,” Rep Maxine Waters shot back after being pressed on...

He has a previous weapons charge and was found with a loaded gun and knife and a bunch of cash

Not to mention additional firearms at his home that apparently illegally crossed state lines. And the fact that illegals can’t own guns.

Not to mention lying on his resume

If anything, this is a great argument for mass deportation.

 

[CantCucktheTuck]

LOL....they just found out he didn't even have the college degree he claimed.

His wife needs to be charged for purchasing guns for him

im conflicted.
this man obviously skirted the law and lied about who he was and the people who "vetted" then hired him obviously were asleep at the wheel. the guy didnt do what he needed to do to become a citizen.
but, given how positively he seems to have affected his community, i feel that some leniency is warranted.

this isnt some piece of shit who assaulted or murdered anyone, this is a guy who was trying to do right by people and was largely law-abiding, aside from the obvious immigration issue.

I'd rather see the guy have to pay fines and do community service for a few years rather than get deported. but you dont just stop your immigration process in the middle of it. then the fact that he was able to get a drivers license and vote here without legal citizenship is also concerning. well, not because HE specifically was able to, but the fact that its possible to do that.

I mean .. this is Iowa. Where , somehow after 4 DUI , Pat Miletich is still allowed to drive.

God really giving Pat his toughest battles outside of the cage.

I'm going to make a guess without knowing anything about the situation, that that school board was all women and mostly white women. they're the one desperate to adopt anyone with a sob story.

Well, it doesn't sound like this guy fabricated a sob story. If anything, he fabricated a story about being far more qualified and accomplished than he really was (Doctorate, MBA from MIT).

As a fellow Guyanese man, I can fully see this kind of thing happening. Boasting about things you never accomplished - classic Guyanese thing to do. So is deflecting blame. I of course would never do any of these things - I'm an upstanding citizen and a pillar of my community.

He also had illegal guns.

 

[Crazy Source]

He also had illegal guns.

Sounds like it was a "good guy with a gun" situation. What's more American than that?

 

[Blastbeat]

He also had illegal guns.

as in bought illegally on the black market? or he just bought them and didnt get a permit?

An actual citizen that didn’t have his wife buy his guns for him I imagine.
