An undocumented immigrant is taking refuge at a church in Denver while she fights to remain in the country.

Jeanette Vizguerra, a mother of four, was scheduled to check in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents Wednesday morning. She wanted to extend the stay on her deportation order, which expired last week, while she applies for a special visa. It was denied.

She now faces separation from her American-born children, the youngest of whom is just 6.

Vizguerra’s attorney appeared in court for her, saying she probably would have been taken into custody if she appeared. She is now taking sanctuary at the First Unitarian Society while she plans her next legal move.

She should take her children with her. This is a false dilemma.

“She now faces separation from her American-born children, the youngest of whom is just 6. “

Bullsh*t. She either takes her children with her or she abandons them.

If mom robs a bank does she get off scott free, does a speeding soccer mom ge4t her ticket torn up for her?

If a mom breaks and enters into another persons house and gets caught... just let her go???

Can somebody tell me why these illegals who are waving Mexican flag in our faces, are so horrified at the prospect of going back to Mexico?

And she's had how long to get her Visa situation in order?

If churches and other groups want to keep these people there 24/7, for the rest of their lives, with no government benefits, I'm oddly okay with that. As long as they NEVER leave their sanctuary.

It’s funny how many illegal aliens get “religion” when they are about to be sent home. Fine the “church” until they hand her over.

You’d think “Mexico” was Spanish for Dachau.

This didn’t happen overnight. There is usually a120 day order. And the proceedings started under obozo. She probably voted for Hillary multiple times

Why that? I'm sure no one said, "You go, the anchor babies stay here"

Pffftt.

Mom goes, kids go with her. Go live with the grandparents.

Any mention of a felony? I hear that’s what they are going after - voting 12 times, hit and run, those cool things they get to do in other countries?

Notice they refer to her offspring as being “American-born children”. I wonder why they don’t call them AMERICAN children.

I smell major set up.

They want the images of the woman stressed in church.

ICE black booted thugs grabbing her.

If I’m right, this will be NYT by tomorrow.

“Will Mexico take her children?”

Clearly, her problem - not ours.

Surely the humanitarian cartel-run Mexican govt can grant an emergency petition for her to take her children back to Mexico with he. Maybe out of their OPEC revenue they’ll even pay the bill for her medical care here in Merica.

Children born illegally in the U.S. are not citizens. The courts need to make that clear.
