A girl without a country

I don't see why that's too bad. Better that they are raised by Godless, English-speaking *******s who were born here than by Catholic, Spanish-speaking *******s who came here illegally.

 

This is a sad situation. I hope that it highlights the fact that this is a serious issue and an impending humanitarian crisis, but it will likely lead to more people just bickering about how these unfortunate souls who were so unlucky to be born brown need special treatment, or how these blood suckers need to be kicked out en mass.

We really need a realistic solution to this problem immediately. Granting citizenship to all the illegals is (*)(*)(*)(*)ing stupid but it will be impossible to deport them all. Sticky sticky.

I hope that everyone realizes that none of this would have happened if the immigration laws were practiced correctly, as they should be.

 

They DID follow the law. Did you not bother to read the article? Why should she be punished for doing everything RIGHT?

 

If everything was done right they wouldnt be in this situation..The kid is a MEXICAN.

 

You didn't read the article. They couldn't register her because they weren't given her birth certificate. How the (*)(*)(*)(*) is that her fault?

 

The "fault" lies in the fact she shouldnt have been in the country to begin with. When her family died she should have been sent to relatives in MEXICO where she belongs. Now because people tried to circumvent the law it has made it a lot worse.

 

Okay. So the fact she was adopted at the age of seven, raised in the US, attended school in the US, and has never in trouble before, and has everything possible to try and gain citizenship, somehow makes her a criminal, and she should therefore be sent back to a country she doesn't even remember?

Are you serious?

 

Was she in the country LEGALLY in the first place..NOPE. Send her ass back to where she belongs.

 

Goodness me. I might have to get a brick wall and bang my head against it. Its clear you haven't read the article.

 

I HAVE read it Mak, and the kid was in the country ILLEGALLY to begin with... So no matter how one tries to put the bleeding heart spin on it the fact is the kid should go back to mexico.

 

You seem to be missing the fact that if she was a Mexican citizen, she would have been granted US citizenship. So she wasnt mexican enough to become a american. She will I believe eventually get citizenship but she will miss her graduation, and be used by the Mexican government as proof of a unfair immigration policy that will encourage more illegal immigration. It will demonstrate if you want to come to America you must sneak in and make it to the many sanctuary cities. The day they send this young lady to Mexico thousands of illegals that do not speak our language or want to be a part of our culture will come in the US illegally. Do you think this act by the US govt. demonstates a good immigration policy?

 

While I agree most are good people, I have worked with them and even grew up around them. Most will work harder for $40 a day than most Americans would for $40,000 a year. We need a good common sense immigration policy that protects both immigrants and American citizens. The current system hurts both it encourages criminal behavior and allows for workers to be underpaid and not given the same protections that American citizens enjoy. It hurts lower class Americans of all races from the competition that reduces wages for them as well. The failure to reform the immigration laws are the fault of both republicans and democrats.

The redneck comment, I hope was not directed at all of us most of us are very hardworkers.

 

There seems to be a lot missing in this story. How do you adopt a child when no one can produce a birth certificate? I think something shady is going on. It doesn't sound like that adoption could ever be legal.

 

GIVE THIS MAN A CIGAR!!
The point that i have been waiting to dawn on these people see's the light.
If EVERYTHING was done right in the beginning then this wouldnt have happened.

 

One would think if a child is legally adopted, this automatically grants the citizenship of the adoptive parents.

Let me give you an example. A married couple who have been working in Laos for a number of years adopted a 12 month old little girl. This couple was also childless. Upon the adoption being finalised, they presented the Australia Embassy in Vientiane all paper work, applied for citizenship and an Australian passport, which was granted.

Does it work this way in America?

 

She was abandoned and left with the people for 4 years before the adoption happened. She from I have been told does not know any biological family in Mexico or here for that matter. I would assume Arkansas law does not require a birth certificate for adoptions. Everything I have been told was that it was legal.

 

The only thing she had control of was the attempt to follow the law. If they had just kept quite she would not be getting deported. She could still just leave go to Dallas or any other sanctuary city and stay in America as a illegal. Her moral values prevent that so that leaves us at the current problem. Why the adoption was allowed I do not know. She was never arrested so the only way the US government knew about her was from her efforts to follow the law. That said the law is the law however wrong it may be. What harm would come from allowing 3 more weeks to graduate before deporting her?

I honestly believe she will eventual after jumping through the political hoops be granted citizenship. The damage that will do by the way this looks will not help any possible solution to our immigration laws. So this only justifies the actions of those that make no attempt to follow the law. I am not pro-illegal immigration by any means, but this has made me understand that if I was not American and wanted to come here to work following proper channels is not a viable option.

 

It sounds like a birth record is part of the adoption process in Arkansas.

So did you read this was a legal adoption or did you just hear it? You can drive a truck through the holes in the stories that were linked in this thread.

 

Perhaps the child was fostered and not adopted?

 

Either way it looks like the LEGAL process wasnt followed and now the kid should go back.

 

My son knows the young lady, so I heard that it was legal. I have searched for additional information but have yet to find it. If they knew the adoption was not legal it would be not the smartest thing to seek citizenship. Her last name became Tidwell so that leads me assume some legality behind it. I honestly do not know but have not heard any hint of that from the government. That would definitely make it more understandable. Why would authorities not point that out if was not legal?

 

You just nailed leftist loserism, from both parties.

 

Both parties are responsible for our failed immigration laws that only benefit the elite. Lower class individuals of all origins are the ones who suffer the most.
