[East Texas:]Skipping School Gets 2 Sisters Deported
Tyler Morning Telegraph ^ | February 23, 2008 | KENNETH DEAN

WINONA - Skipping school is usually met with fines and the threat of jail time; but, for two sisters, the punishment was much worse - they were deported.

Smith County Justice of the Peace Mitch Shamburger said he presided over truancy court last month when Brisa and Lluva Amante, both 17, snickered in his courtroom.

The John Tyler High School students were before him for skipping school and Shamburger said he fined them each for the action and told them to go to school every day and not to come back to his courtroom.

"I thought they would take it seriously and I wouldn't see them again," he said Friday.

However, the twins and a younger sister were brought before him on Feb. 14 for another charge of truancy.

"I asked them if they didn't understand and they just kind of snickered," he said.

Shamburger said he instructed the bailiff to handcuff the two sisters and hoped that would sober up their mood.

"It cut down on the giggling, but they stood against the wall and still kind of laughed," he said.

Shamburger said he called the two teens in front of his bench and told them they were both adults in the eyes of the law and he was sending them to the Smith County Jail to do time for skipping school.

"I told the deputy constable that if the twins had a come to Jesus meeting then he could turn around, but they didn't so he proceeded to the jail to book them in," he said.

What happened next took Shamburger by surprise.

"The officer called me and said I wouldn't have to worry about them skipping school anymore because ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) placed a hold on them and was deporting them back to El Salvador," he said.

Shamburger said he hoped the girls would learn a lesson from visiting the jail, but was not prepared for the news.

"In all of my years on the bench I have never had someone deported for truancy," he said.

They weren’t deported for truancy. They were likely deported for being here illegally.

Dumb kids.

The judge is the absolute ruler of his courtroom. Usually they exercise that power with some restraint, but visible defiance is definitely not a good idea. The most laid-back judge will respond to a direct challenge to his authority . . . he has to, because it just snowballs if he gets the reputation of being a Judge Ito who can't control his courtroom.

Bad things happen to you if you don't behave yourself.

How about being deported for being an illegal alien?

What happened next took Shamburger by surprise.

What should be more of a surprise to the locals is their judge was too dumb to find out their legal status the first time in his courtroom. He still missed that tidbit on their second visit. Then he continues down Stupid Road by stating they were deported, not for their status, but for truancy.

He’s a truancy judge. It’s not his purview to find out their immig. status. We wouldn’t have this problem if students had to provide proof of legal residency in order to enrol. They come here because the kids get free school, free healthcare, free everything. Cut off the gift-stream and they will stop coming. The ones who are here already will self-deport.

I can guarantee you don't laugh at a judge or try to snow him. My ex tried to get smart and popped off during our child support phase of our divorce.....stating he couldn't pay anything because he didn't have a job (He'd just shut down a very lucrative construction company so he could "out-fox" the courts)

Without missing a beat....the judge said, "Mister... we have a Texas employment commission here.....and you have 10 days to find a job and satisfy this order.....or you can sit in jail and find a way to pay it from there." (as he stared down my ex eye to eye) As we walked from the courtroom, the ex handed my attorney the first check. lol

Re: The John Tyler High School students...

I kinda find it poetic justice... as President John Tyler got Texas into the Union where later on down the road these two giggling gals were shown to be illegal aliens and deserve to be deported!

He’s a truancy judge. It’s not his purview to find out their immig. status.

In fact, he probably would have had a lawsuit to overthrow his action if he had even asked for a check on their immigration status.

The ACLU or some other communist front group would have filed a discrimination suit against him.

But accidental justice is just as good as if it was intentional.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Immigration was a good thing for America - before the welfare state kicked in. If they don't self-deport, they'll self-support.

No they were deported for being in the country illegally. The truancy was just the catalyst.

There is nothing more annoying than a bunch of snickering girls. They thought nothing was going to happen to them, just like in the past, no consequences.

Good on the judge. He needs to do more of the same.

Self-deport, you have hit the nail on the head. As soon as the economic disincentives are enforced to such a degree that it no longer makes economic sense for Americans to utilize illegal labor all our illegal immigrants will ALL self-deport when what they came here for is no longer made available to them. All this talk about “how are we going to round up 20 million people” is just stupidity. No government program got them here, and a government program to actually get them gone is also not the solution. They got here for the jobs, they will go when the jobs are no longer available. Building a fence is just a band-aid on a bullet wound, but at least it shows recognition of the problem.

“Never snicker at a judge!”

No kidding. Many judges have huge egos, and being snickered at will send them over the edge.
