Cananea, Mexico (CNN) -- In a remote town in northern Mexico, a 10-year-old-boy is struggling with his homework. His name is Oscar Castellanos, and the fifth-grader is getting extra help from his father because he's having trouble adjusting to his new school.
The student enrolled at Leona Vicario Elementary in the town of Cananea is technically a foreigner in his father's land. Oscar was born in Arizona and is a U.S. citizen. He recites the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance by memory without hesitation. His English accent is that of a boy raised in the American Southwest.
Oscar's family moved back to Mexico after the state of Arizona approved some of the toughest immigration laws in the United States. Now they live in Cananea, a mining town of 30,000, about 35 miles south of the U.S.-Mexico border.

As long as they voted first.
Good news for once.
I agree. Please see my tag line.
I know a woman who has been working in this country since 2000 on a green card.
She has followed the rules - she has paid taxes.
She even has given birth to a us citizen.
She works hard and is a source of pride to her employer.
She has just been denied citizenship and is now wondering what her next step will be.
Factors working against her....she is white and comes from a n eastern european country.
So here we have a person trying her best to satisfy the “path to citizenship” - while millions of latinos waltz in to the US feeling entitled to our taxpayer funded benefits without paying into the system themselves.
My crying towel is soaking wet.
Also, it says they left everything behind. And they had a three bedroom home. So they got a home loan for illegals! Then, sounds like they got foreclosed on. I can’t believe they walked away without selling a house in which the SHOULD have had equity.
PING
If she was denied citizenship then shes not entitled to a green card...
one status leads to another..
only real immigrants qualified to be citizens get green cards...
if she did something to disqualify her from citizenship AFTER getting a green card she would be deported...
are you sure she doesnt just have a working visa ???
Of course, this one was bought and paid for by the Obama PR firm CNN.
It’s possible she has a visa.
She was worried about deportation until Obama waved his hand and issued that last rule about young illegals.
So - since she has a teenage daughter (on scholarship in college) - and now a young son - then deportation may not be as much of a worry.
I don’t know her well enough to know all the minute details of how she is handling it all.
She isn’t hiding - and she is doing her best to jump through the hoops. Unlike millions of others.

I have wondered about this many times and I have not read any explanation but if you have read about the National Council of La Raza which has hundreds of branches and has a long donnor list of about a hundred supporters including the Ford Foundation, it would be a pretty good bet that LaRaza is the group that collects all of these sob stories and shops them to the liberal media. LaRaza has many illegals who belong to LaRaza so they have a large group of potential sob story people to keep the liberals churning out this pro-illegal propaganda. This has to be the way they do this but in this story they actually contacted people living back in Mexico. Maybe they had relatives still living in the USA who gave LaRaza the story. Notice how they always know the illegals by name, gives it a nice “human interest” touch.
They need to fix Mexico, a wonderful country with sorry govt. (For an American to say this, :) )
The media could look up some unemployed dads and moms who are struggling to feed their kids but they have no interest or compassion for Americans.
I agree. IMO just the fact that the "news"papers and other MSM simply do not have the money to gather very many stories nowadays -- that is proof enough let alone their shared ideology --
and every chance I get I like to express my opinion of the employees of the MSM; to wit, they are mere skid marks on Journalism's shorts -- even when they had oodles of money.
You tell ‘em! :^D
