In the paper about 6 months ago a women was here from refigy or however you spell it. She had been here for about 14 years from the age of 8. She was know 22 she made a life here and yes even got an education. She had a child at age 20. She had bought a house alone single and all. She went to renew her status and they denied her. Ready to go back the next day and see what the problem was and talk with immigration but the next day never came about in the united states. They came to her house and picked her up that day and shipped her off. Im not for illegal immigration one bit people i cant stand how the system is being used by most of these people however i get very upset when there are so many crossing, yet a women who has known nothing but the american life educates herself, supports her and her kid, and causes no problems is shipped out. Kinda weird but the goverment has put a blanket over our eyes they are shipping many refigys back making it look like there taking care of

the problem yet they let the birden people stay here but take the good ones. I understand this women new it was only a matter of time it just upsets me that someone like this is taken first only to appear amoungst the american public as if "there doing something about it" and really there not doing much at all.
What do you think about this story?

okay get my country.....I believe you missed a key word....he stated she went to renew her status which meant that she was here legally but they for some odd unknown reason did not renew her legal status......so much for the famous quote of all "these people just need to become legal".....She bought a house which meant that she worked.....She worked not living off of the system........the same ol same ol rhetoric is beginning to bore me to no end......Shame on them for treating this lady in this manner. And now I wonder what happened to the Citizen American born child.

Well you dont here about to many stories like this, someone that has been that long, she sounds like good woman. I agree, the government is doing nothing to stop the thousands of illegals from coming here. If we dont do something now, it is only going to get worse, we are starting to have trouble holding our own citizens, the country can not possibly hold non-citizens, our economy is going to fail sooner or later. If illegals want to come here, they should have to come here the right way, like everyone else did, no excuse. Learn the language, the culture, and wait in line, you will then be welcomed. I dont see why so many people on yahoo get pissed at me for when I say this, why is it so hard to come here the legal way? There are no free rides in life and too many people take advantage of the system, legals and non legals alike. We need to really weed out the bad ones, and keep the ones who are going to grow with the country. This goes for all citizens, get rid of the murderers, drug dealers, child molesters, rapist, etc. That is something I think both sides of the immigration debate can agree on. More people need to take a stand and not just in the elections because for the most part, the government has failed, that goes for all the Bush lovers and Clinton lovers alike. LOL

I think there should be a statute of limitations on immigration enforcement...IF the INS/ICE hasn't detected you as being an illegal alien, and has failed to bring you along in the citizenship process, and you can prove on paper through reciepts etc. that you've been living, working, and paying taxes etc. in the United States for a decade, then they should basically just stamp off your papers. Of course, that opens up a door for fraudulent documents etc., but that's going on already...
Basically, we're seeing our immigration system founder under its' own weight, and the only way it'll ever 'get right' is if they clear the decks...that means either start deporting people, a LOT of people, or say 'mea culpa', and put up the proven 'decaders' for citizenship.
One thing everyone agrees on, what we have now is broken, and can't get out of its' own way....in addition to the decade plan, though, they should also institute same-day service in the catch-and-deport concept...if you been here 10 years or more, and you step forward and come clean about it, and you're legit, and you can prove that you're not screwing up, then I support them getting a limited amnesty, but nothing under 10 years, because that's well after the point when they said they were going to get serious with the whole law business and start taking care of this.
The BIG question is, what's next for immigration? How's it going to be fixed/improved, will the government lay down the law, literally, to businesses that've been 'fishing' for workers in Mexico etc? Do corporate donations now write our laws, including labor laws?

The story is tragic.
Unfortunately life is what it is. She will suffer for wrongs done by her parents, in the not following of the law. Just as others do. A crack baby didn't take the crack the parents did. If your parents cheat the IRS and they come and take everything-the child suffers too. Wrongs have a way of catching up and slapping the future.
It sounds like she did many things right let us hope she continues on the path despite setbacks. And not dwell on what could have been. And hopefully she will not make the same mistakes. And she will see that it was the wrong action of others that have caused this. The blame is not ours.
Could we be more helpful-perhaps. Where we draw the line is in question. But thousands have a tragic story. Keep that in mind and many worst.

Greetings!
I think you may have perhaps left some bits and pieces out of this equation. Some of what you say does not make sense. Just the same pretend it does.
Then you are angry because this person had to go back to her country, after securing an American education obviously good enough to buy a house.
All said she should do quite well going back to her homeland. Also the part about the child who indeed if born here is a US citizen.
So I think you do not have all the facts and are making a quick judgement .
Good Luck
PS If you feel so strongly, why not marry her and solve the crisis.

I think she should have taken steps to ensure her legal status before it came down to that. It's sad but if she knew she was illegal why did it take her so long to do something about it? And also, if she was illegal, how did she get her education? With the taxpayers money? And how did she pay taxes for those 14 years? She might have been a sweet single-mother-struggling-to-feed-her-child type, but she was still here illegally. And for a LONG time before she decided to do anything about it. So........she "knew it was coming," as you put it.
