That is pretty typical from people who are unable to think logically and instead just live their lives based on their emotional whims.

I disagree.  Anyone who is here illegally, whether they snuck in 20 years ago or not should be deported immediately.  Using the same logic:  If I robbed a bank 10 years ago and I didn't get caught until last week should my crime be excused?  Should I be cut "a little slack".  No, of course not.  Do the crime, do the time.

 

I have some sympathy for people who do sneak in because the living conditions in their country of origin are really that absolutely terrible.  It is rare though, that someone coming from a place in which people are literally starving, is able to afford to be smuggled into the US.  I do not have sympathy for people who continue to have children when they know they are living in poverty, thereby exacerbating the situation for themselves and their whole country.

God forbid she now has to go through the actual process to be there legally like the rest of us. It annoys me so much that us who go through the process to bring our spouses over legally have to wait years yet people can just enter on a tourist visa and get to stay with their loved ones during the process. And then we have people like this who try to come up with some story of how it's unfair to her and her children to be separated. You've been in the US for how long and never thought to file? You are breaking the law, that eventually catches up to you. Maybe instead of blaming others to why you are now having to deal with the consequences you should think about what YOU are putting your family through by making the decision to do nothing in regards to your status. Sorry for the rant, it's just frustrating to me for us that do things right and we have to spend all these years waiting for our loved ones. Then people who do things wrong, just ask for a waiver and for the most part it's all good. OR people who are here all this time knowingly being illegal and get upset when things go south 😑

If my parents robbed a bank for million when I was a child and I became accustomed to an affluent lifestyle should I be allowed to keep the money when I get caught after their death?

 

Umm you wouldn't be caught since you didn't commit a crime. You mean if your parents were caught, should you be allowed to keep the money they stole? LOL. Talk about a bad analogy.

robbing the bank is not the same as being brought here as a CHILD, living for 40 years, being a business owner, having a family, and ZERO criminal history and being deported.

 

Well the woman from the article wasn't a child. She crosses illegaly TWICE, even paid a smugglers to help her pass. And she claimed to be USC. 

 

If she was brought here as an infant or baby then the story would be somehow different, even though she still would be required to fix her status after the marriage. 

 

But here is the fact that she was fully aware of that she was doing and only after she got caught she started regretting it.

This is very good. She violated the law (no matter how long) and must be deported. Trump is doing the right thing, he fixes all holes in this ship called the US. Go home, Alejandra Juarez. Next time make sure you're here legally.

[mcdull 474]

question, could a military spouse kill somebody and get away with it?

 

if not, what difference would it make when they broke this country's immigration law, they are righteously prosecuted?

[Hypnos 6,577]

The husband voted for Trump. 

 

You reap what you sow. 

[Springrain22 427]

She deserves to be deported for stupidity. Married to a US national, she had every opportunity to obtain permanent residency.

Ok if I get caught with millions in stolen money I guess they will just let me go lol. That's how things work. Good to know.

After spending 7 years together and going through what we have, I have no sympathy for people breaking the law. Including those who bring their children here knowing they are going to be separated, just like "real" lawbreakers. Legal immigration only, please.

Exactly how I feel.  We are working so hard to bring our loved ones home reading this kind of stuff make my blood boil.  I'm all for deportation for people like this.   

[Sarah&Facundo 598]

First off, I am 10000000% anti-Trump.

 

She is lucky to be one of the rare few with a clear, easy path to being legal and a citizen. Unless you are a spouse or direct family member, it is basically impossible to move here legally (for the long term, not on a student visa). For those who escaped terror, gang violence, and other terrible conditions, I have a different opinion because many of those people do NOT have a way in and need to do what they need to do. She did have a way. It was so easy for them to fill out the paperwork and get her processed with a USC husband. It's hard to feel sorry for her.

I have mixed feellings about this. Most people DO have an option, like here in Mexico, not ALL Mexico is dangerous and you can find a decent job here moving cities within the country and have a better quality of life. So for me there are no excuses to choose being illegal in a country when you have other options,  I should know about this because my home country is a disaster (Venezuela) and a lo of us left looking for better opportunities, but the majority of people choose a destination based on "where can I obtain a legal residency that allow me to work and survive" not "let's just go to the US because is the ONLY choice we have".

 

On the other hand, most of these people is very poor and they don't know other realities or they don't imagine how far they can go, what they do know is that some other people made it to the US illegally and they're having a better life so they persue that like the only option, they don't know about paperwork or ever writte, so I can understand that part too... BUT I'm sure is not 99% of cases. Most of them DO have a choice.

Why is the youngest child leaving the country? No one is making her leave except her parents. I'm assuming she was born here and is therefore a USC. I couldn't read the whole article so maybe that is answered in the article.

Makes the story more tragic and garners more sympathy

[JFH 12,190]

The fact that she was able to pay smugglers to bring her here in one of her attempts suggests that she was not starving and living on the street. They are the people with no other option but to accept their lot. I am suspicious of people who claim they have nothing and have to leave their home countries but manage to pay the equivalent of a few months' wages to get out.
