Not sure where to post this

I have a friend who is illeagally in the USA. She has been here for nine years and has had a child here in the USA. She got a notice for a deportation hearing for jan 14 2010. They are even slow on the deportaion lol

Any way the question being will they deport her seeing that she has a USC child? It is my belife that she will be deported when she has her hearing other than the child she has no other reason to beable to stay here

why does she have a deportation hearing, was she caught crossing ther mexican border and released or was it another case? anyway my friend had the same case where she had a USC child and was caught by immigration and released. She had a hearing and was ordered to be deported on such date, she was from colombia and had to send the judge proof of air ticket and sign some kind of paper saying she was going to obey the order or she could be fined and jailed. So she went home but the child is regardless of her mother's immigration status a USC and could comeback at any time.

She applied for a visa application so she could work and that is how immigration knows about her. Any way her child is only 4 years old.They would force him to go to Honduras with his mother? How can they do that? he is a citizen. She could leave him here but then he would become award of the state is that what they want? I have to say I dont condone this kind of thing. I am just asking the question. I think that if she had no USC child I would send her back in a heart beat but no that she has a child from the USA. I think after ddoing the application for my wife to be here it makes me even more angry when I hear of illeagals

not really, they don't want the mother to leave the child here but if that's the case then yes the child could be with child services just like any other abandoned child. other than my friend's case i saw a bunch of others like it on tv.

No, they can't force her to take her son with her. Why would she leave her son to become a ward of the state? If she has no family or friends willing to care for him, she should take him with her.

they can't force her to take or leave the child, they will get custody of the child IF the mother leaves him but just like he said if the mother can take care of him she should.

I would have to agree but she has no money for a ticket back home or for her child . She is illeagal she can not work . They would deport her but can not deport the child and she can not buy a airline ticket. They would pay for the son to be sent to honduras?

that's a great question! this is what i think based on some other people i know that have been deported, worst case scenario would be her going to a immigration jail and the child going to child services until she can pay for both. i REALLY doubt that they will pay for the child's ticket. a former co-worker of mine was arrested because he missed his immigration hearing so he had 2 choices either he signed the paper saying he is "deporting" himself and paying for any fees (airplane tickets and fines) or he would serve a sentence in jail so of course he paid a fine and the ticket to go home after spending 2 months in jail, but then again every case is a different case.

i feel sorry for the mother and wish her the best of luck!

She will be removed for being here illegally. Since the child is a USC, she can make some kind of arrangment with friends or relatives for the child to stay in the US or she can take the child with her if the father is not in the picture.

She can voluntarily deport herself where she pays for the tix, or be formally removed where she will be taken into custody and the govt will arrange her removal.

There was a similar situation here a week ago or so.. a family of four was up for deportation and one of their kids was a US citizen... it was indeed like others said, they could either abandon him (which, imho, would have been a stupid mistake since the kid would become under child protection) or take him with them and that's what they did. Now the kid will later on (it is 4 or 5 yo right now) petition for his family so they can go back to the US... they just need to wait a lot of years for that to be possible and I think it would be the smartest thing to do for this person too if she ever wants to go back to the US

But to answer your question, they can indeed not force her to take her kid with her but she will have to go if they decide so... nothing she can do about that, even if she has a kid that is a US citizen.

Also, seeing that the deportation hearing is scheduled for 2010, that gives her a bit more than a year to be able to save up and actually pay for her kid's ticket and I think she should do that. Personally I only feel sorry for the kid but not much for her, we are all here because we do it the hard, but legal way.. so yah, if someone is illegal in the US, I kinda don't really mind them to be deported, it's just sad that there's a kid involved.

There are privately funded charities that will assist mothers and children staying together. If she's deported, these agencies will gladly purchase a ticket for the child to join its mother.

the child will probably go to social services and she might be deported

are you calling hard way "marry an American" and get your stuff real quick (green card)??

sorry to say it like this.. but honestly.. you probably don't know why shes here illegally... i personally don't approve illegal aliens.. but on the other hand.. I wouldn't judge if I don't know her story..

how would you feel if this lady was your mother or sister... you wouldn't like it would you?
