il ragno [OP]

Besides the amusement value of the story, witness the deep-seated hatred of whites saturated into even the commas and periods of this editorial. There's little doubt the Jews and Jew wannabes who run the media are actively promoting the agenda that - no matter who they are or where they come from or how difficult their assimilation or how much they will cost us - Thitrd World immigration is the best possible scenario for America. The only item left out by skullcap who wrote this is street directions to the Social Services agency and tips on how to fill out the forms to get a same-day check out of them.

A BOSTON GLOBE EDITORIAL

A caveman in court

8/7/2003

IMMIGRANTS in Boston are better off now that Immigration Judge Thomas Ragno has been placed on administrative leave. He was on the bench too long, and it showed in his callous and insensitive treatment of a Ugandan woman who went before him seeking political asylum. Instead of listening politely to the woman's claim that she had been beaten, raped, and tortured by government soldiers who she also said had killed her husband, Ragno belittled her in an attempt at humor that revealed the depths of his ignorance about Africa -- a continent far more diverse and developed than the old jungle stereotype.

According to a Boston Medical Center physician who treated the woman, known by her first name, Jane, Ragno said, ''Jane, come here, Me Tarzan!'' Dr. Sondra Cosby, who attended the deportation hearing to testify about Jane's injuries, became so upset at Ragno's courtroom behavior that she filed an affidavit in protest as part of Jane's appeal of the decision by Ragno to deny her political asylum. Cosby said Ragno during the hearing also dialed the weather number on his speakerphone so he could listen to the forecast and talked in open court about looking for a condominium.

The courtroom, of course, is no place for Ragno to conduct his personal business. In addition, his crude antics show he is unfit to serve on the bench.

The Executive Office for Immigration Review was right to place him on administrative leave on Monday. The Justice Department, which oversees the executive office and has referred the matter to the Office of Professional Standards for investigation, should not allow Ragno's denial of asylum for Jane to stand. He should also not be allowed to return to the courtroom.

Ragno is a classic example of the downside of allowing lifetime appointments for immigration judges, especially when their worldview becomes outdated. He became an immigration judge in 1973, long before new immigrant groups began changing the makeup and culture of many American cities. Before that he had served 10 years as an attorney for the Immigration and Naturalization Service in Chicago.

Given the power they have to make life-and-death decisions, immigration judges should not be allowed to peddle their private agendas in the courtroom. Stronger federal oversight is needed by the Justice Department and the congressional committees that oversee immigration judges to ensure that they don't.

There were signs before this case that Ragno had been on the job too long. He has granted asylum in only 3 percent of his cases in the past five years, compared with the national average of 22 percent. That fact should have been recognized and dealt with by the Justice Department long before the white judge joked to a black woman about Tarzan.

** especially when their worldview becomes outdated. He became an immigration judge in 1973, long before new immigrant groups began changing the makeup and culture of many American cities.**

There you have it. The objection to this Judge is not based on right, wrong, moral, immoral, or especially what is best or fair for the Citizens of the United States.

No he is objectionable because his "worldview" doesn't conform to the new makeup and culture (read destruction of traditional American Values and Culture) of American cities. Yep. Unless your a shill for multi-culturalism, open borders, and rape of the taxpayer to the benefit of the third world you are unfit.

Completely transparent, so why do so many refuse to see?

Yea, when the person seeking asylum is a Congaloid you MUST have mercy on them, no matter what, Judge Ragno....you silly spider.

Oh!!! But when the White South Africans attempt to settle in America in order to escape death by AIDS infested Congoids in ZA.....well, uh, um, we have laws in this country, ya know!!!!! We can't just afford to let anybody claim "asylum" in order to get into these fine United States, you see. Send those White Afrikaaners back to where they came from.....they are all eeeeeeevilllll Apartheidists anyways!

Death to the Boston Globe.

Ya gotta love how eager communist jew newspapers are to call for the resignations/investigations of life-appointed judges who dare utter politically-incorrect comments. When it's a freako liberal judge conservatives are gunning for, they retreat into great piousness about the independence of the judiciary.

I nominate that a member of the editorial board put up the Uuga-Booga. Permanently.
