She came here at the age of four. She broke no laws. She is a smart girl and will probably get herself a good job if she continues to do this well in school. Her brother has served in Afghanistan and risked his life for Americans, yet America shows it is ungrateful and deports her? Let her stay.
She came "here" "illegally". You dont reward crime. And no one has answered how her illegal brother joined the Army. Deport his ass to. They had YEARS to apply for citizenship. And they chose not to. Tough (*)(*)(*)(*) get out!
So you don't actually want a uniform policy after all? Only enforce the immigration laws when it appeals to you.
Good for you. You don't make the rules for the nation. How about we follow the law regarding immigration instead of being so easily manipulated by the media with their endless sob stories. Let her join the military or national guard, if she wants to stay. _
I understand your point, but how do you deal with the problems of current American unemployment, Islamic political ambitions, and the welfare state in the context of unlimited immigration? _
Crap like this really angers me. Drive down the street anywhere in the U.S. and see illegals hanging on the corner, but lets ignore that issue... and throw this students ass out of the country. The once great U.S. is irreparably screwed.
I'm fine with the latter, but our immigration laws are pathetic and inhumane, making it so difficult to get into our country is heinous. My principles supercede all else, including our silly laws in hopes that one day they'll change. That immigration helps employment is merely a statement of fact. If you want to blame something for our low jobs numbers, you can assign part of that blame to our draconian immigration laws.
Of course there is no such thing as a free market in practice, but conceptually we all understand what people mean. Many people within the party of free market and small government rhetoric, support a massive government intervention in the market, and a massive government expansion in order to round up and deport millions of people. It is absurd. However, moving beyond my partisan point now(still accurate though), I agree with you completely. We should have open borders with checkpoints, ensuring illegal materials and criminals don't cross the border. Then we could aggressively ensure no one crossed outside those checkpoints, and could assume anyone trying was a serious criminal(not just a normal person looking for work).
WTF are you talking about?. The 14A says nothing about education. In fact the whole constitution says nothing about education. Education is purely a state matter and the SC had no right forcing americans to educate people that aren't even allowed to be here. The court took a bribe like they do on every issue. Do some research!!!!
You can buy school records on every street corner. Not that it will matter anyway. If we decide to grant amnesty to illegals that came here as kids, no documentation will be required . The govt will just take their word on it. Read about the 1986 amnesty and all the fraud assiociated with it.
How do we know when she came here? All these stinking illegals have learned to claim they were brought here as infants and the liberals always accept what they say even though there is never any proof. I'm sick of all these exceptions you liberals want to make to our laws. Do we let teenage bank robbers get away with their crime just because they're a good student.? Deport this job-stealing illegal.
OMFG!!!!! The brazen lying of liberals is mind-boggling. America allows more legal immigration than any other country in the world!!!! Stop telling us how difficult it is to come here legally. Invade mexico and demand you be allowed to stay cuz you're a good student and see how that works.
The only liar here is you. A simple look at the CIA's migrations statistics reveals that. Save your childish rants for someone else. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2112rank.html
Facts are for liberals, and they don't mean anything because they are invented by the "liberal media" and the "liberal CIA"!! You should have figured that out by now!! So please keep your dang facts out of important discussions like this!! They have no place!!
Bribed or not, our system does not allow Congress to "repeal" a Supreme Court decision. Amend the Constitution if you want change. Better get busy! You got 33 state legislatures to petition, and both houses of Congress!
He should be given permanent resident status after 20 years of service, citizenship if and only if he is awarded the Medal of Honor.
From the OP, it seems she CAN prove when she got here...she and Mom entered LEGALLY, but Mom has returned to Colombia.
Yeah, but once the child is a legal citizen, he can begin working to get his family into the country legally.
BS. Those are per capita stats and that's not what i was talking about. And even per capita those countries ahead of america are mickey mouse countries. Whoever heard of the British Virgin Islands?? In absolute numbers america allows more immigration than any country. Get your butt outta your head.
