My wife and I (both caucasian) adopted an Hispanic/Mayan girl 6 years
ago. We live in a country where racial mix is the norm and haven't
traveled to the US yet (I am an Am Cit). Nothing like this would happen
here but I have been concerned about what will happen in the US.
Secondly, the author should IMMEDIATELY have asked this alleged agent
for his I.D. and business card. Then he should have had a lawyer file a
complaint for harassment with Homeland if he felt that strongly about it.
Federal agents MUST show I.D. when exercising their duties if asked by Am
Cits! Did anyone ever consider that this "agent" might simply have been
someone with less than legal intentions? And would anyone "exploiting"
those young women done it in so public a place as this father did with his
daughters?
There are a number of things very upsetting about this story!
