Deported because parents came here Illegally

Missed that.

So we can assume his wife is sans documentation as well as she does not get a mention.

Ya, that was my point, alas. I don't make them often, but ya, that was it.

No mention of the wife being eligible to sponser her husband as a being a LEGAL petitioner for anything.

Mondo wack.

So what's your excuse Bob? When you entered the US as an adult and stayed illegally for years? You would deny others who came in innocently through no fault of their own the same opportunity afforded you? When you also had full knowledge of what you were doing?

Hypocrite.

I don't need an excuse. I am fully responsible for my actions as an adult and would I have been ordered deported, I wouldn't have tried to blame the US Government for being mean to me. As an adult I can roll the dice, no matter how stupid this is, and if I loose, I have to live with the consequences. I would have not married a US citizen and dragged her into my personal problems if my deportation would just be a matter of time. Even less would I have made anchor babies, knowing that my deportation would be inevitable. So I really don't need an excuse as my situation is quite a bit different and my actions only involved myself, not other people who are dependent on me.

Bob - did you just substantiate yourself as a result of a personal attack ?

[Darnell 8,478]

I don't know very many teenagers who have enough knowledge of the immigration system to cure their status problems before their 18th birthday.

OK - I'll suggest to you that we (you and I) swim in different circles.

Latino youth, all of them, are exposed to La Raza in the USA, and there's linkage between La Raza and LULAC, for free legal and immigration aid.

There's a HUGE marketing campaign with La Raza these last 3 years - the results of which have trounced yer position.

You may wish to question yer demographic group, just to more certain of yer position?

Stereotyping defines demographics now, does it?

I seriously doubt that. Do you think ICE would not bag her also? It's not like they don't know where she is.

Either the article is wrong (journalists often misunderstand immigration) or the wife is a common law wife.

It was not. Bob has made no secret of his many years as an under-the-radar alien in the US. Why he thinks he deserves a free pass from the Feds but others do not - I have no idea.

If I were him, I'd just go quietly into the night and not throw stones.

Well that's wild! Seriously.

[Boiler 45,466]

I posted this on that thread:

Entering without inspection is not a criminal offence. Well not the first time anyway.

Alien is the legal term for somebody who is not a US Citizen.

I am more concerned about the quality of the journalism.

He had not driving license, driving without a license is a crime.

It would be reasonable to assume that he had no Insurance, also a crime.

He bought a house, bought health insurance for a family of 5, supported a family of 5 all by working as a produce manager at a local supermarket? Sort of hard to believe.

How did he get the job, false documentation? Fraud is a crime.

How did he get a mortgage, or how did he get the cash to buy outright?

The children would be dual citizens at least, might have 3 depending where their mother is from.

Plenty of non English speakers move to the US, why is it so hard the other way around?

[Messybrownhair 251]

Just wondering, how come the wife gets to stay if she is also undocumented?

[Harsh_77 718]

I don't know very many teenagers who have enough knowledge of the immigration system to cure their status problems before their 18th birthday.

This is a terribly egregious law. If an alien can PROVE they were brought here by their parents when they were still dependent on those parents, they should be allowed to become legal residents.

That would not be fair to the people who apply and go thru right process to come here or in that ase migrate to any country.

So heres lets it take to practical level, say a family forces themself in your house inspite you having door and security mechanism. So now they are living in your house without your permission and they bought along a toddler to your house with them too.

Would you let the toddler live in your house? Just coz he had no say in his parents forcing themself in your house?

If you are sensible most likely you will ask all of them to leave or call police to force them to leave.

Thats what immigration is doing when they get hold of someone like them with all due process they send them back to their home. In his case his adult parents should had thought about the consequence that would come along with their decision.

Most teenagers are not aware of their status, thats hard to believe when you know rest of your friends can work at normal store or when they apply for fin-aid in college and you cannot coz you dont have ssn number or you dont have passport or now getting hard time getting a drivers lic - should tell them there is something wrong.

At the moment ICE normally tries to aviod undocumented mother with USC children as it runs into humanitarian ground and times court let them stay here as defending lawyer would always claim that sending them back to their home country would effect children and their education .... on and on.

[rika60607 215]

That's no fare... sending them all out of US will effect them and taking their main breadwinner away will not.

Great.
