Set tears to stun

Are you ready to cry? ARE YOU READY TO CRY!!?? The Daily Cal is bringing the human side out today. We've set a high bar, though.

This time, it's some kid in some school (that isn't Cal) getting deported-by-proxy. The writer, Robert Balicki, doesn't even bother trying for the Cal link.

Gerardo Espinoza is an American citizen and was a second grader at Rosa Parks Environmental Science Magnet School in West Berkeley. He loved to play soccer and four-square and didn't like to tuck his shirt in under his usual gray sweatshirt.

Slob!

From beneath the 7-year-old's black Raider's beanie would peer two big, brown eyes that betrayed a willingness to help fellow students at a moment's notice.

Can you get deported from the Raider Nation?

Gerardo left Berkeley when his father, Felipe Sr., and mother, Norma, were ordered by "la migra" to leave the country on Jan. 24, after having lived in the country illegally for 20 and 14 years, respectively.

Is using the phrase "la migra" the editorial policy of the Daily Cal?

So, it's not a story about how la migra is in such a sorry state that it takes 20 and 14 years (respectively) to deport someone?
