Boo hoo.
If taking care of your kids is soooo important, you can take them with you!
Thanks. Looked it up. Turns out that VN agreed in 2008 to take back deportees from the USA - but only if they arrived in the USA after July 1995 (when diplomatic relations were reestablished).
That explains why old career criminals are still here. And it suggests that this Vietnamese woman, who arrived in 2003 is likely S.O.L.
Exactly. Between wondering why this person is still (just kidding; obama was in charge) and wondering why this story doesn't focus on the true tragedy of a mother abandoning her kids rather than taking them with her to her home country; I don't know which is worse.
Not sure if the father is was an American citizen at birth but if we had fixed the birthplace loophole law the kids would be joining her and what would be wrong with that? People move to different countries all the time. I've done it at least 5 times while growing up. It's no big deal.
Cold hearted, inconsiderate mother.
good thing she has been separated from her kids, God Bless America.
what a bad, bad, shameful mother she is..!
FWIW, according to Wikipedia, there are currently 14 McDonald’s restaurants in Vietnam.
She has had a lousy life, much of it her own damned fault! Many previous LEGAL immigrants came here, speaking NO English, but learned it and did NOT commit crime after crime after crime, as she did. They too were lonely, faced hardships of one kind or another, but didn't turn to taking drugs, trying to commit suicide, nor a life of crime.
Yes they are...there are ICE officers who don’t agree with Trump policy and that’s exactly what they are doing. Time to implement eVerify and dry up the jobs.
Exactly right. If we buy this sob story then we might as well throw all rule of law out the windpow
OR Instead, if parents care about their kids well being they could obey the law
The law didn't let this women's children down. SHE let them down.
Ngoc Tran and her father finally came to America in 2003 as part of the Family Reunion Program...
So she’s NOT illegal? Maybe she can turn her life around in prison; some do. Sounds like a case of her own childhood being really unstable. So now she’s perpetuating that in her own kids. Hopefully, the cycle can be broken, in time for her kids to have, at some point, a normal life.
The Vietnamese people in our area are very close, very family oriented, very well educated, devout Christians. They protect their children, and since they are a close community, their kids don’t balk at the strictness, because their parents are gentle and loving, and all their friends live the same way. They don’t even date until they’re through with college. And they take care of their parents and elders. My dentist was the youngest one in the family, and he remembers bombings at his school, and body parts stuck to the buildings. He knows America’s not perfect, but he loves it, and is very patriotic. He has no desire to go back to Vietnam, even for a visit. But he admits it was really hard to come here as a child. Even though his father was a high ranking officer in the South Vietnam army, he came here alone at first, worked any jobs he could get, til he could save enough money to send for his family. Then, the whole family worked at cleaning offices, scrimped and saved, wore garage sale clothes, got teased for it, but now he appreciates the way he was raised. All nine of him and his siblings went to college on academic scholarships. Very inspiring.
She’s not here illegally (although her father returned to Vietnam years ago) but her green card was contingent on good behavior. Multiple felonies have jeopardized that.
Why should we have to pay for them?
The father of the woman in this news story reportedly helped the US during the Vietnam war and was reprimanded by the Vietnamese government after the war (faced limited opportunities, etc.). He came here in 2003 but it already back in his homeland.
I guess they aren’t treating him that badly if he went back (and wasn’t jailed or killed for his collaboration with the US during the war).
Maybe the relatives in American can give the kids a better home environment. It wouldn’t be the first time such things have happened.
Well, I just pray, in the Name of Jesus, that He will do a work in the life of her family and herself.
She came legally but then committed felonies, which violated the terms of her green card. She must go (after serving her prison sentence).
Her kids probably won’t have a chance, if they get sent with her.
She’s not married. She is a druggie. No sympathy here. It’s a shame she got involved in that stuff, but she did and it costs. Ngoc means “Jade” for whatever it is worth. If she can stay away from drugs now, Viet Nam is not a bad place to be. There is no government welfare and you have to make what you have for yourself but there is plenty of opportunity. I assume she handles English well. If she can be a reliable employee, that opens many lucrative windows in Viet Nam. She may have to stay out of the big cities to avoid drug temptation, though.
How about you leave America, take your anchor babies with you, and take care of them in MEXICO?
If there are NOT opportunities enough there, then organize a revolution. Kill your scumbag leaders, and the scumbag cartels. Make them know they are not welcome in any town. If they show up. They are killed immediately. Then start exploiting Mexican resources, build up an actual economy, and maybe draft a constitution based on the American one. Of course it will be hard. But isn’t it worth it for your kids, and their kids kids?
Wahhhh “Why do they have to suffer for my felonies and crimes against innocent American citizens?”
BECAUSE YOU BROKE THE LAW YOU CUNNING STUNT!
Vietnam’s policy changed in ‘08 per chrisinoc’s post:
