If you have too many Tattoo's you are denied entry to the U.S (Mexican, illegal)

[All American NYC]

Veronica, his American wife of six years, who says her husband isn't affiliated with any criminal organization. Mr. Villalobos says he got his tattoos—some in Mexico, some in the U.S.—because he thought they were cool.In recent years, immigration attorneys say, concern about foreign gangs entering the U.S. has prompted Washington to delay or deny green cards, or legal permanent residency, to some applicants with tattoos.

Our goverment must be aloud to do the job it was hired to do, which is to try and keep out more gangs from entering the US, we have enough trouble with them as it is.

Could always do as 30 million other people have done and just walk in anyways. Problem is they are allowed to do their job but for the most part they aren't. Most certainly someone will cry tatooism. Is that a word yet?

Seems like walking in is the proper way to immigrate here.

Uhhh - could you explain this a little?

Who "hired" our government - and how do you figure that the government was hired to keep "gangs" from entering the country?

Also - what is the "aloud" part - is your complaint that someone has been silent?

Your post is very confusing - it would be helpful if you would clarify - thanks.

I like how you deliberately left out the words "gang tattoos".

The actual headline-
Immigrants with 'gang tattoos' denied U.S. visas: report

Honestly I don't see how even liberals would be upset about this. The US has every right to protect its borders from illegal entry by dangerous gang members. We've got enough home grown gangs to worry about, we don't need to be importing other countries' scumbags.

Brother in law or should I say ex. had no problem getting a visa to move here with tats.

Why leave out the original headline?

Hey, newsflash....people don't get GANG TATOOS by mistake. The tatoo artist knows this and putting a mexican gang tatoo on a non-member can and will get BOTH of them killed.

Now if we could just do something about the tattoo epidemic inside our borders, that would be nice. New York City very wisely banned tattoo parlors until 1997. I'm sure many other jurisdictions had similar laws. Time to bring them back.

LOL. Yeah he got em because they looked cool. Gimme a break. Just playing the old victim card hoping some liberal looney birds will take up their cause. I've never seen any gang tats that look cool unless of course your in prison or the gang.

We have more trouble with Americans who cannot spell.
