TUCSON, Ariz. — A Tucson high school student and his family were deported after the teen was found with marijuana at school and police called the U.S. Border Patrol after learning he and his family were illegal immigrants.
The incident raised concern among immigrants rights activists, but Tucson police said the officer acted appropriately by calling immigration agents.
Police were called to Catalina High Magnet School Thursday after school officials found a small amount of marijuana in the backpack of a ninth-grader who appeared to be under the influence, said Chyrl Hill Lander, a spokeswoman for the Tucson Unified School District.
Police then asked the boy's parents to come to the school, and once they arrived an officer asked to see their driver's licenses. The parents told officers they had been living illegally in the U.S. for six years, along with the ninth-grader and their 17- and 12-year-old sons, assistant police chief Roberto Villasenor said Monday.

Good. One down, a lot more to go. Everyone of these criminals who comes to light should be send home.
If cops bust a kid and find out the family are criminals they’d lock ‘em up. Why do these “activists” think this is any different?

Breaking news?
Wow...this is a story that’s gonna tie some FReepers up in knots...
Okay, I’ll be the one to say it. Just smoking the weed Americans don’t want to smoke.

This dopey family must be the unluckiest Mexicans in Arizona. You have to make a sincere effort to get your arse deported
Breaking news?
This is a good thing. Unfortunately, it was only one when hundreds of thousands are still at large.

That's ILLEGAL immigrants rights activists, or rather rabble-rousers and law breakers themselves.
An immigrants rights proponent
Again, a proponent of ILLEGAL immigrants right...
And so on...
Sounds more like "busted" news to me ;-)

I'll bet if Jennifer has a parrot at home, it can say that too.
The solution is real simple, Jennifer. So do the right thing and become a legal citizen instead of slunking around the gutter living your life like a fugitive.
I have no sympathy for people who make themselves vulnerable to sleazy under-the-table employers, blackmail artists, and arrest/deportation if they're involved in something as simple as a traffic ticket or fender-bender. It's their fault for subjecting their kids to living on-the-lam, it's not the fault of society or the cops who enforcing laws that 80% of American citizens support (and 98% of legal immigrants).
I'm sick of these sob stories about how enforcing the nation's immigration laws tears apart families and subjects them to suffering. If they lived their lives like normal decent people, it wouldn't be happening. It's their fault, not everyone else's!
Thats why they call it dope?
Ping

There really is a God.
What a wonderful story.
The MSM lies about Open Borders. The people advocating it mean to undermine rather than strengthen the United States. But don't look for the press to acknowledge it.
While I agree with you, there's another aspect that the Closed Borders crowd has yet to face. Without low-cost labor coming in, American products will be more expensive and less able to compete in the international market (and there's no putting that genie back into the bottle!).
So Americans will have to either become more productive (or raise quality or innovation or...) to justify their higher wages, or see a slide in what we can charge the rest of the world. After all, why should a German buy something from America if he can get the same thing cheaper from China..or a company that sets up in Mexico and takes advantage of the low labor costs?
IOW, the closed border isn't some magic bullet against wage erosion here.
Awwwwww...

Woo-Hoo! Way To Go, Keep It Up Boys!!
LOL
Tucson is about 60 miles from the border.
These people will be back sleeping in their own beds ‘at home’ before the week is out.
Now if daddy lost his job and daddy’s boss got some jail time - this would be a story.
Otherwise - Yaaaaaaaaaaawn.
"Breaking news" in that they actually deported them - or at least tried to.
Keep turning up the heat on illegals by deporting them and many will realize it’s futile to remain and leave voluntarily.
Adios!
Got to love thsoe Bush family values...don’t stop at the border.
We live in NY State...that's the first problem. My oldest son, who is 41, already has his BA and has taken refresher courses in German at the local community college this past year. When he tried to sign up for two classes in the same semester (another language plus a photography class), they told him he would have to provide immunization records. I located his immunization chart from when he was a baby, but part of the card was chewed off by one of our animals and the dates are missing. Because he can't provide them with an official document, they won't let him take more than one course per semester.
It boggles my mind, since none of these classes are for credit. And if they let him attend one course on campus without his vaccination record, why not two? He lives downstate from me and I've told him I will try to contact the local health department in hopes that they will have record of his immunizations. Of course the pediatrician who treated him isn't in practice anymore or is dead, so that option is out. But how in the hell do illegals get to attend school without proper vaccination documentation, and someone who was born in this country can't even take two college courses without proving they've been immunized?

Maybe yes maybe no
If you come back here after deportation that's a felony. If it were up to me I'd give every "returnee" felony time in a Sheriff Joe tent prison
That will doubly upset the dopers for open borders crowd.
Zero tolerance, baby ...
Draw a picture of a gun in first grade and call the cops,
Hug your second grade teacher and be a sex criminal,
Look at a college co-ed and be tried for sexual harassment,
You even smell like reefer and you're illegal .. buh-bye.
I love consistency.
Our major export goods like military and commercial jets, high tech software, locomotives, power generators, Cat and Deere earth moving equipment, cranes, as well as nonperishable grains and vegetable oils involve few concessions to unskilled illegal immigrant labor.
Branding on the forehead is out, maybe a tat?. Nah, that never worked anyway. To get rid of rats, you have to *stop feeding them*.
To have Illegals leave, you have to cut off welfare, jobs and everything else that attracts them in the first palce. Maybe we could learn from Finland or Denmark.
Claim it’s against your religion to have immunizations. They have to give you an exemption.
They should throw out all the cousins, aunts, uncles, ALL the other relatives too.
If nothing else, it sends a message to the other illegals to keep their kids in line.
Simple. Take a DNA sample from them before they are deported.
I guess to Jennifer being here illegally isn't a crime. The police are supposed to investigate all crimes and that includes being here illegally.
The word illegal actually means a crime has been committed Jennifer, I guess they don't teach that in liberal school.
Actually, some of those industries have been some of the strongest supporters of illegal immigration.
Regardless, Americans will have to reverse the "it's...like...our birthright, Dude..." mentality if they want to keep their economic position in the world.
Exemptions are available in every state. Some have philosophical exemptions, most have religious and medical.
“The incident raised concern among immigrants rights activists, but Tucson police said the officer acted appropriately by calling immigration agents. “
They did right.
I’m sure it raises concerns. It’s getting so an illegal alien cant break the law these days. That will cramp people’s style, for sure.
“immigrants rights activists...That’s ILLEGAL immigrants rights activists, or rather rabble-rousers and law breakers themselves. An immigrants rights proponent Again, a proponent of ILLEGAL immigrants right...”
I swear, Nana gets tired of cleaning up you kids rhetoric..
IMMIGRATION, IMMIGRANTS, ILLEGAL ALIENS
illegal aliens are not immigrants
ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE ANTI-IMMIGRATION
