Teen immigrant faces deportation for selling pot brownies to buy fancy prom dress

So she has DACA, not an Immigrant status.

And she is on top of Obama's must deport list.

If she just had moved to Colorado she would be just fine. They have a whole state of drug dealers.

Not making excuses for her but Justin Bieber is more of a threat to the U.S. than a girl who wants a prom dress.

Really?

Bieber is the Customer, she is the Dealer.

Bieber is the Customer, she is the Dealer.

Not exactly sure that Janelle was referring to the Bieb's alleged drug use, here.

His music alone is a good enough reason.

Or does not like Canadians?

Pretty sure in this case it's one specific Canadian.

Pretty sure that the transition from growing up age 5 in the US to ejection into Mexico at age 19 is considerably more of a consequence than moving to the US a wealthy entertainer at 15 and being booted back to Canada a wealthy 20 or so year old.

So because her parents brought her here illegally as a child it forgives the fact that she is here illegally and committing crimes?

What an idiot. If you're lucky enough to have the protection of DACA, you should do everything in your power to show you have the best character and the utmost respect for the law. So she's being punished for selfish teenage behaviour -- GOOD. She broke the law and she's now deportable. Actions have consequences. I am firmly in the bleeding heart librul camp but I also am a great believer in the rule of law. She wanted a special prom dress, but instead of getting a part-time job (which she could, because of DACA) she sold pot brownies to kids. Fantastic. I struggle to see how anyone can support her actions.

Sounds like she showed the Entrepreneurial drive that we are told Immigrants bring to the US.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What gave you the idea that Obama has ANY sort of "deport list"?

Report: Obama “Re-Evaluating Previous Views” His Power To Change Immigration Laws Via Executive Orders Was Limited…

Lawmakers who have long been urging the Obama administration to act unilaterally to ease the pace of deportations are now cautiously optimistic that Obama officials are taking their suggestions far more seriously, and think some sort of action is a real possibility – a shift from a month ago, when anger was on the rise.

Today members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus met with the head of the Department of Homeland Security and presented him with a memo outlining their demands for executive action. That memo urges DHS chief Jeh Johnson to do everything in his power to suspend or delay the deportation of those who would be impacted by the Senate immigration bill — for example, by expanding the deferred prosecution of DREAMers to include their relatives.

Three lawmakers who were at the meeting with Johnson tell me they were pleased with what they heard. They suggested they came away convinced that the administration is re-evaluating its previous views as to the limits on Obama’s legal flexibility, though they cautioned that no specific promises were made.

“My impression was that he is going to change policies to cut the number of deportations, but that the number is not going to be where we would like it to be,” one Member of Congress who was at the meeting told me. “I took away that he’s going to revamp the policy.”

Another attempted end-run around Congress. Tyrannical lowlife.

I agree. But drunk driving, drag racing, he poses more of a threat than a chick who not have had been arrested had she been in Colorado.

I think deportation is a little harsh. She was working at a restaurant and selling brownies.

She is a hard worker in my book.

He can certainly go back to Canada.

Hard worker, or not, a felony is a serious lapse of judgement and should be sufficient to see her returned to Mexico.

Just so you know, an Entrepreneur like this would need to fork out about $100,000 in start up costs, fees license etc etc.

And we are still some what backward, I do not know of any that operate on School premises.

If she is a hard worker, then she would have think of other legal ways to earn her money, instead of selling weed brownies.

Or she could have made her own prom dress, many of students do that to save money.

I have no problems with what she did except she sold it to a younger person that had a bad trip.Definitely not worth prison time.
