The media's coverage of the Rifqa Bary case has been so incompetent it borders on criminal. It's dhimmi media, for sure. For example, the case of the immigration question, I must ask, why isn't the media asking?
If the parents' immigration status is "unclear" (which it is not, as I broke the story of their illegal paperwork here), how can Rifqa be illegal? How can her parents be one thing and not another and why haven't those tax evaders been deported? And why hasn't the media ONCE pursued the immigration question? Look at this:
The Columbus Dispatch, the home of hijabed Heagney:
Her attorney, Angela Lloyd, said Rifqa is an undocumented immigrant and expressed concern about her legal status.
Lloyd said Rifqas parents are pursuing what she called their own immigration relief. The family is from Sri Lanka, and their immigration status has been unclear.
CBS News reports:
The immigration status of the parents is unclear but they say they are fighting to stay here.
Ironically, Rifqa Bary may not like her parents' faith, but she may need them for their papers.
Columbus Dispatch (notoriously anti-Christian, pro-jihad newspaper) - home to hijabed Heagney:
And this from The Associated Press (AP):Rifqa's attorney, Angela Lloyd, said Rifqa does not have the proper documents to be in the United States; Lloyd is concerned about what will happen when Rifqa turns 18 on Aug. 10. The Barys are from Sri Lanka.
Mohamed and Aysha Bary are "pursuing their own immigration relief," Lloyd said. Their immigration status has not been made public.
Tuesday's hearing also touched on Bary's immigration status, with Lloyd confirming in court that the girl is an illegal immigrant.
"Unlike her parents, if reconciliation fails, at 18 then she is without legal status," Lloyd said.
The immigration status of the parents is unclear, although Lloyd said in court that the couple are "pursuing their own immigration relief." Attorneys have been under an order not to talk about the case.
Over at Belief Net:
Tuesday's hearing also touched on Bary's immigration status. Her attorneys raised the issue in a recent court filing that noted federal law allows "an undocumented immigrant minor" to receive permanent resident status when placed in long-term foster care by a judge. In court, Lloyd confirmed that the girl is an illegal immigrant.
"Unlike her parents, if reconciliation fails, at 18 then she is without legal status," Lloyd said.
The immigration status of the parents is unclear.
