Girl Talks to Pope on Immigration, Then Dad Freed

After a 10-year-old California girl traveled to the Vatican to plead with Pope Francis for help as her father faced deportation, the man was released Friday on bond from immigration detention.

Mario Vargas was freed from a detention facility in Louisiana after he posted $5,000 bond. A relative who saw the girl on television pleading with the pope during a public audience helped with the funding, said his wife, Lola Vargas.

KEYWORDS:
A foreign national violates our laws by coming to our county and once here puts American citizens at risk by driving without a license, without insurance and to top it off while intoxicated. If he had run over a 10 year old California girl and either maimed or killed her I wonder if there would be any public sympathy supporting him. Also how does the child of an illegal alien get the money to afford a trip to Italy?

There are so many things wrong in this situation, where does one begin? Someone should follow the money.

In Medieval times, this was called petitioning the king. If you were sympathetic enough, the king granted you what you wanted. It is an outrageous violation of the rule of law applying to all men and its the system we are moving back toward. We fought wars to move away from this.

$5000 Bond for a DUI? Sounds like there’s some additional charges or repeat offender status there.

The whole Catholic church/Illegal Alien railroad thing is nothing new. The church has added in tranpo and documents for many. many years with no concern over ‘quality’ of the beneficiary.

I wonder who inside the WH staged this operation? Did Obama give the Pope advanced notice on this little girl's trip??? "A relative who saw the girl on television pleading with the pope during a public audience helped with the funding" is TOTAL BS.

Why didn't this little girl take the money it took to fly to see the Pope AND HELP BAIL HER FATHER OUT WITH IT????

This entire story REEKS OF 'AMNESTY PSYOPS 101' orchestrated by the AmeriCOMMIE insurgency.

Indeed. As if the Catholic Church or Obama are of different minds on the issue.

Why did US authorities give in?

Under present political circumstances, if I were in the 10-year old girl’s situation, I would have written a letter to Putin and ask him to make a deal with Obama — you don’t deport illegal aliens and I won’t lay claim to Alaska.

Hundreds of abandoned children, some as young as 4, are wandering the streets of Northern mexico because their POS parents deserted them to cross the border ILLEGALLY into the USA...
This is the kind of people that our POS congressfools want to give amnesty to...
This is the kind of people that they want running around free in OUR country.....
I am sick of all these “professional politicians” who care NOTHING about our country, but only about lining their pockets and maintaining POWER!!!!!

It’s past time to take back our country, folks....

What a heartwarming story. Are the girl and her father moving to Vatican City?

“Dear Pope, could you make a plea on behalf of the hundreds of Americans killed and murdered by Mexican nationals to our government to CLOSE OUR BORDERS?”

I bet this pisses Jesse Jackson off. He’s the one who intervenes. Everyone knows that? Who does that guy think he is? The pope?

Yes, that is horrible. You want to know of another horrible thing some illegal adults do once here in America?

This is a true, very sad story.

It was tough for me to write, and causes me such disgust every time I think of it. It is personal to me.
