Illegal Alien Report (IAR) has received several hostile messages from a confessed illegal alien named ***** *******. The messages began on Facebook when ******* accused IAR of spreading hate on the social network by posting comments in opposition to proposed legislation that would reward people for being in the United States illegally. For the IAR administrator it was his first encounter with an illegal alien life form who was bold enough to sign his message "undocumented and unafraid". Undocumented is short for undocumented immigrant which is a term commonly used improperly as a substitute for illegal alien.
The IAR administrator responded to his messages tactfully and with intrigue since as outlined above he had never before been contacted by an illegal alien as far as he knew. Eventually he wrote a report about the illegal alien encounter on the IAR website where the public is free to report suspected illegal aliens and businesses hiring them online just as easily as you can report a cyber bully on this site. ******* did not like the report about him, deleted his Facebook profile, and attempted several times to intimidate the administrator into removing his report.
His intimidation methods centered around the use of litigious threats mentioning his alleged age, immigration status, and a family lawyer. He claimed to be less than 18 years old and that publishing his picture was somehow illegal due to his age which is not correct. It would be if it contained an adult image, but publishing facts on people who are not yet 18 is perfectly legal. He also claimed to have gotten "temporary citizenship" recently even though there is no such thing as temporary citizenship. There is temporary residency, but citizenship is permanent unless renounced or revoked. He also stated repeatedly that this incident would be forwarded to his family attorney in an obvious attempt to instill some sense of urgency in the IAR admin in an effort to get the report removed.
Now some people may consider it cyberbullying to list illegal aliens online, but its not because it is an issue of government accountability for failure to enforce immigration laws. IAR always responded to his messages kindly despite his tone and made an effort to invite him to use the site where all views on the matter are welcome. If he is under 18 IAR sympathizes with him for having to suffer the consequences of bad parenting, but feels the need to teach him a lesson in manners. If you want someone to do you a favor do not try to intimidate them into doing what you want.
This incident should serve as a lesson to illegal aliens not to use Facebook and not tell IAR about it if they do. This principal can be expanded to anyone using Facebook who gets the idea of contacting people who own or work for publishing services designed for listing people like them on the internet.
