The New York Times Whines That an Illegal Alien Was Deported After 21 Years (Cue the Violins) "to a 'Home' He Barely Knew"

Their headline and propagandistic twitter post omitted a highly relevant fact: He was a drug dealer convicted of kidnapping. He then served 15 years in prison for that crime.

Via Twitchy, this is outrageous propaganda.

Twitter should limit the NYT's account to exercise some control over this Fake News Russian Disinformation.

The New York Times conveniently glossed over that this illegal alien, Nascimento Blair is a convicted kidnapper and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
In 2008, he was issued a final order of removal. Because of the Biden administration's open border policies, this criminal illegal alien was released onto the streets of New York.

The article does grudgingly admit his ticky-tack kidnapping conviction and the 15 years he served in prison. Though the Times insists that that conviction is in doubt, because, the Times says, this deportee "disputes" the conviction.

Ah, I see. A convict "disputes" his conviction. Well why didn't you say so? Obviously he's innocent because no convicted criminal would ever lie.

But most people aren't going to see the article -- they're going to see the headline, and the twitter post, and those claim that he's just a guy who got deported.

Nascimento Blair returned home in shackles.
He landed in Jamaica in February, 21 years after he had abandoned the island, seated next to dozens of his countrymen who were also handcuffed. As he stepped off the plane at the seaside airport in Kingston and felt the scorching Caribbean sun of his youth, Mr. Blair, 46, was greeted with suspicion.
Still dazed, he looked out of place. He had on the same winter clothes -- a peacoat, turtleneck, gray suit and Chelsea boots -- he had been wearing when U.S. immigration authorities had abruptly detained him on a frigid morning in New York City weeks earlier.
He noticed his slightly Americanized accent as he sat through hours of interrogation by Jamaican authorities at the airport. And he felt like an outcast as Jamaican officials snapped his mug shot, took his fingerprints and asked about his past.
"They don't look at you like a Jamaican," Mr. Blair said. "They look at you like a criminal."

You are a convicted criminal. That's why they look at you like you're a convicted criminal.

Mr. Blair did not give them details about his past, an odyssey that began with a side hustle dealing marijuana in the New York suburbs as a 24-year-old Jamaican transplant, which led to a kidnapping conviction he disputed and a 15-year prison sentence he fulfilled.
It was his criminal past that had gotten him deported from the United States, where he had been rebuilding his life and seeking redemption.

So it was his kidnapping conviction that got him deported, and not racism and/or "fear of brown people," huh?

He had earned two college degrees, started a trucking business, mentored people released from prison, cared for a fiancée with breast cancer, taken classes at Columbia University.

Oh wow he took classes at Columbia night school. He's a regular Maryland Father.

None of it would stave off deportation: He was among the first few thousand immigrants scattered across the globe during the early days of President Trump's deportation campaign.
On paper, Mr. Blair fit the profile of the people Mr. Trump says he wants to deport: those with criminal backgrounds. In a statement, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security blamed the Biden administration for not deporting Mr. Blair sooner.
But to Mr. Blair and his supporters, his life story was one of rehabilitation, nuanced and filled with qualities that they believe Mr. Trump's deportation machine disregards as it flies out immigrants en masse.

LOL.

The article pushes the factoid that he was released from prison in 2020 -- the year of the covid crisis -- and Trump didn't deport him before he left office. The NYT seems to believe that if a president doesn't make it his top priority to deport you as soon as he can, then you are grandfathered into remaining into the country forever.

By the way, the NYT talks about this guy "living in America" for 21 years, as if he has squatters rights that kick in after that time period.

For fifteen of those years "living in America," he was living in federal cell because he's a drug-dealing kidnapper.

He kidnapped someone and was convicted of it within a few years of coming to America and enriching our precious diversity with his crimes.

Just incredible stuff.

The media keeps actively trying to portray the worst people as victims. There is nothing in the entire article to suggest Blair, who unsurprisingly also was taking classes at Columbia University, was wrongly deported. https://t.co/jlzrJ7zt3t pic.twitter.com/3cdVGZHB11

The media disinformation campaign continues at warp speed. His visa was revoked. He is an illegal alien. Criminal arrest warrants are for criminal prosecutions not deportations. https://t.co/C87H2EUdkS

It's all about reapportionment:

REMINDER: The reason Democrat judges are fighting so hard to keep illegals - even the criminal aliens - is all about control of the House. If illegals were removed or not counted for apportionment Democrats would lose 10 seats in the house giving the GOP a 27 seat advantage. pic.twitter.com/99pOCLan1H

26 I am glad to see the FBI starting to arrest judges who harbored or protected illegals from the federal government. I get it, they think the illegal is a sad minority immigrant fleeing terrible things and the government are evil oppressors acting on racist motivations. I get it, they are using empathy instead of reason, feelings instead of truth. They think that its Worse Than Hitler™ to make a swarthy person feel bad.

But its still illegal, and always has been, and it is wonderful to see the DOJ actually enforcing this law after decades of it being ignored. Judges are not some superior form of life that is above the law.

Yeah, I agree thats very likely what happened. But that's infuriating to me. Because if someone trying to follow the law wanted to start a trucking company, that involves a lot of paperwork and DOT numbers and inspections and insurance and up front capital. Not to mention getting a CDL, and passing a physical, and random drug tests.

But when our buddy here (New York man?) violates all kinds of laws and regulations to run his illegal business, he obviously has a massive cost advantage to the guy trying to do it the right way.

That's not a victimless crime at all.

Not to mention, what happens if one of his uninspected, uninsured trucks, almost definitely driven by an unlicensed illegal alien, kills someone?

The whole thing is fucked.

As Mark Steyn said years ago, we're a nation of the undocumented and the overdocumented. Two sets of rules that massively disfavor the people who are citizens here. In our own fucking country. It's sick.

I don't want him here legally, either.

He has a home. In Jamaica. I have a home here. He can stay there, I can stay here.

Why does the entire fucking world get to fill out some paperwork and throw some money at attorneys and all of a sudden they're just as American as I am? And half the time they're just here to make money, have some anchor babies, then retire back "home" where their money goes farther?

My family is buried here. My family fought in multiple wars here. Generations of my family paid taxes, worked shit jobs, got treated like shit to work their way up so that their grandkids and great grandkids could experience "the american dream".

And that all counts for nothing?

And the "we're all children of immigrants" thing is bullshit. It was in the US's best interest to settle the west when the huge wave of Irish and Italians came here in the late 1800s to early 1900s. It wasn't out of some ideal about unlimited immigration.

I know many immigrants who came here to work. I've never met one who came here because they're huge fans of George Washington and the American Way.

They see us as a giant economic zone where they came come and make money. The illegals do it while skirting / ignoring all of the laws that hold back Americans from doing those jobs. They pay no income tax and operating in the gray and black market. The legal ones play disgusting nepotism games to get their entire families on payrolls at companies to cheat the visa system.

And those are the best case scenarios.

If we're just an economic zone and not a country with a unique culture, then someone should tell us that, so we'll be sure to stop paying taxes and stop signing up to fight in the North American Economic Zone's wars.

145 By the way, the NYT talks about this guy "living in America" for 21 years, as if he has squatters rights that kick in after that time period.

For fifteen of those years "living in America," he was living in federal cell because he's a drug-dealing kidnapper.

It was always going to come to this. The longer the Dems could delay deportation, the more they would cry about the people who had been here for X years, and how could you deport someone who's been here for X years.

X is variable. It is whatever they want it to be. It could be a day.

149 Deportable alien convicts should never be let loose on the street. They should go straight from prison to a deportation flight.

If they fight deportation or if their home country refuses to take them back they should remain in prison. Deportation should be the final requirement of their sentence.

Came here in 2004 when he was about 20, convicted in 2005 (violating the terms of his admission), and paroled in 2020, while under an order of removal, the appeal of which was denied.

This is how the vast majority of people in the earth function. The US (and most of western europe) is the exception. That's why the US and western europe have been so wildly successful.

So instead of trying to export that "do the right thing" mindset to the world, we decided to import millions of people who don't believe in that, don't have a "social contract" with us, and could care less about Americans or their weird social norms or anything like that.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at April 25, 2025 04:10 PM (2VST1)

I hate to break it to you, but it's not hard at all. It costs about $20k US, depending on which country you're coming from. And yes, it can take some time (that's just how our government rolls), but as far as actual investment of a persons time? An hour to consult with the attorney, an hour to consult with the "consultants", and maybe an hour to talk to someone in the government if need be? Almost all of this done over Zoom.

Basically, you pay the consultant, he fabricates a resume for you, the lawyer does the paperwork and submits it all, and you get your visa.

I've personally witnessed at least 200-300 cases get processed like that from inside a law firm that did some immigration work as a side hustle.

But they were also pushing for AI writing. Then in the last 16 months it was found they had performed no vetting for any volunteers who were going to mentor authors who were minors. And the final bombshell is, they cannot get any loans because their financial paperwork is basically written in crayons.

Their own published stats show their participants started to decline in 2019 and kept declining during the COVID lockdown years. From about 132,000 in 2018 down to 95,000 in 2022.

The e-5 visa (investment visa) is another huge scam. It's favored by the Chinese. Here's how it works: they get 50 people together to "pool their money" (ahem, CCP money) to invest in a new condo building in Queens. They claim it will create "x" number of jobs, and they use Obama math on that. They build a shitty Chineseium building and sell the units to unsuspecting retards and recoup their "investment".

The 50 people get their visas, the company that built the shitty building shuts down, the retards that bought the units sue everyone in sight, and then they move on to the next building.

Then those 50 people have kids here, get family visas for their spouses, etc. etc.

Probably enough to retire on, if you live somewhere relatively inexpensive. But yeah its not like it used to be. According to World Population Review

The average household in the United States spends $61,334 a year on expenses. On average, 34.9% of spending, or roughly $1,784 a month, is dedicated to housing and housing-related costs. The median price of a single-family home in the United States is $273,992. Nationwide, the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment runs $1,154 a month.

You can probably get away with less than that, because people tend to spend too much on crap they don't need like 6 streaming services, etc. But surely not much less than 40 grand a year on average.

I hear you. Aside from the fact that I don't believe a fucking thing the MSM says, let alone puts in print, just let them continue to fumble along. The snippet said He had earned two college degrees, started a trucking business, mentored people released from prison, cared for a fiancée with breast cancer, taken classes at Columbia University.

Fine. Let him apply and be evaluated. He can stand on his own merit or suffer the consequences.

273 The median price of a single-family home in the United States is $273,992.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor

!!??!! Seriously?

In my area, the median price is, like, $1.2 million.

$273,992 would buy you the tool shed in the backyard.

The absolute cheapest falling-down 1-bedroom shotgun-shack termite-infested bungalow in the deepest slum in Oakland will set you back $600,000.

274 259 I don't understand this. Why can't William return to the UK and why would he and Meghan be put under house arrest if they stayed here?

If you mean Harry, he and William have more or less become enemies over Harry and Meghan using their royal status to put out harmful lies about the Royal Family in print and interviews. Meghan because of her poisonous grifting personality has no popularity among the ruling set in England so a return to there would probably never be in her cards.

Harry basically repeated the Edward VIII story of his great uncle. Including being dominated by his gold digging spouse. And they were more or less treated as unpleasant creeps and Edward, in his abortive and useless attempt to regain the throne when his brother died poisoned any chance that Elizabeth would forgive and forget.

277 "And some people to this day still run interference for Penn State for this. Sick and degenerate"

It's a group dynamic. I endured it when I reported a child molestor to leadership in the SCA. There's probably a better psychological term for it but basically, when people have invested a great deal of time and energy into a thing, like a football program or a mideval history group, and that thing is threatened by scandal, they will go to great lengths to defend it, even breaking character. And that's what makes so soul crushing - you go to the people you trust and respect and they turn on you Be aware of it so you're not crippled by it. Other than being falsely accused of stolen valor, probably the worst betrayal I've known.

278 If you went to college and paid off your student loans, how do you feel about the people who got their loans "forgiven" by the Biden administration?

Kind of the same effect.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't care, because I no longer owe money to the federal behemoth, and paying it off without waiting a) until my loans were eligible for forgiveness b) or for the feds to scrap the entire unconstitutional program, means that I paid less interest than they were expecting to receive when I took out the loans.

Paying off my student loan on my own, regardless of what other people did with theirs, means I won.

280 Oh you meant the perp? Yah I got him in the end. And without shooting him too, which I still don't understand. No, I hounded him publicly for 3 years until he lost the will to live. I wish I could credit my strength of character and tenacity but, having everyone against me was so hard, I almost quit several times. It was one of my sparring partners (rapier) that kept me true. Nicknamed Blush because she was so easily embarrassed, so innocent. She was the same age the six girls the perp had victimized. It became one of those things you do because you simply won't be able to live with yourself if you turn away.
