Undocumented husband and father of two is deported after 30 years in the United States.

Who would that be?

 

I bet you wouldn't put in money on it.

 

After being in the country that long, why didn't he do the things required to become a legal citizen?

 

Because he knew he would get a pass. If you come to the USA legally, you're missing out on a ton of benefits.

 

LOL....I see, was he supposed just to walk into an INS office and say, "I'm here illegally can I apply for citizenship?"

 

This man had many opportunities to become legal, and apparently chose not to. He is to blame for his own situation, along with his Aunt, who illegally brought him here.

No sympathy. He has lived with his illegal status for 30 years. His day of reckoning came. That's all it is.

 

Damn, hate it for him and his family BUT he knew he was here illegally...

Question is who's SSN was he using all this time?

 

The first requirement to becoming a citizen has to be that you enter the country legally. To offer illegals a "fair opportunity" is to encourage more illegal entries which is not a good idea.

 

That sounds like logical and stuff

 

Yeah, its funny how some people really hate that kind of stuff.

 

Your emotions are interfering with your thinking. He is an illegal. Illegals cannot apply for citizenship. He would have had to become a legal resident alien with a green card. After 5 years of being a legal green card holder your get to apply for cutizanship.

But there are always buts. If you are an illegal there is no easy oath to becoming a legal immigrant. You can try for refugee status but since his parents committed a felony by entering the country illegally he would have a near zero chance to get a refugee visa.
His other choice was to have left when he turned 18 went back to Mexico and apply for legal entry into our country.

His parents screwed him... he is now screwed and the TS rule applies.

 

Tell a legal immigrant that he should get a pass. Have fun.

 

What are you talking about. Do you even understand what I wrote? ?
I am addressing an illegal alien not a legal immigrant. I am not giving him a pass. You need to read and comprehend.

 

Me dumb. Me comprehend though.
You sayie...

So you want to see him deported. Glad you agree. We both smarts...

 

Because he was committing identity theft.

 

He get pass. He be here 30 years. Plus family. Resistance futile. You comply.

 

its unfair.

we should deport criminals first.

then, once all criminals are gone, figure out how to deal with the non-criminals.

but we need to try to act with kindness and understanting.

which is absent in this story

 

Hey they can keep that mind set up, I remember a time when Germany did the same thing. It back fired pretty badly for those people (Bolsheviks).

 

which group benefits from the USA having a Hispanic majority?

 

He was a ****ing criminal, he was committing Identity Theft.

 

It's very sad when a person who has lived a long time in the country since their early childhood is deported. But the whole problem, people must recognise, is that the parents and child were allowed to stay so long in the first place.

It's not like they were hiding out. The law intentionally was not being enforced, for decades! And since it wasn't being enforced, then it leads to an untenable situation when you want to deport these people (some of them).

Obviously, in the most extreme cases, you have people that were brought over when they 2 years old, grew up all their lives in the country, and are not able to speak the language of their parents well. Not so simple to just have them deported 20 years later.

People must have foreseen that things would lead to the present situation.

Another big problem is a lot of these children don't have paperwork, so when they become an adult there's a lot of them that turn to crime.
Really messy situation.

I think the majority would agree that they should get legal residency if they were brought over by their parents before they were 6 years old, but then there's the issue of how to prove that. Maybe they're claiming that but they were actually 16 when they came over with their parents, for example.

 

No, it's really not. He was committing identity theft and should be deported with haste. Alongside his children, the wife (not really, he didn't have papers for a marriage license) can make her own choice.

 

The only constant is change, but history seems to repeat in cycles. Somebody said once, that it takes several generations to obtain freedom but one generation to lose it.

 

You can't expect a collectivist to hold somebody to a standard. He gets a pass for all the laws he violated because it benefits him politically.

 

Let's just call them for what their ideology is, they are the modern day Bolsheviks. They just changed what they are called.
