Facing deportation, Oakland family pleads for more time
San Jose Mercury-News ^ | August 10, 2017 | By TRACY SEIPEL

Maria and Eusebio Sanchez are not exactly high priority targets for deportation. They aren’t drug lords, convicted criminals or the “bad hombres” the president wants to be rid of.

But the couple are undocumented immigrants. And, after moving to the Bay Area in the early 1990s from a small town in Mexico, they have worked hard to embrace the American Dream. Over the years, Maria, 46, rose from being a housekeeper at an East Bay nursing home to become a registered nurse at Highland Hospital today, caring for patients with cancer, heart, and kidney disease.

Eusebio, 47, graduated from construction jobs to become a full-time truck-driver for the last 12 years. They paid taxes, obeyed the law, and sent two of their four children to college.

Tuesday all that ends when the couple is deported back to Mexico — one day after Eusebio’s 48th birthday.

ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice said that over the last 15 years, the Sanchez’s immigration case has undergone exhaustive review at multiple levels of the Department of Justice’s immigration court system, which is administered by the Executive Office for Immigration Review.

“The courts,” she said, “have consistently held that neither of these individuals has a legal basis to remain in the U.S.,” and had already granted them stays of removal.

obeyed the law

No, they didn't. They're still illegal aliens. Looks like they'll get on just fine back in Mexico.

Agree.....ones that earned solid degrees and established decent backgrounds in the US should not lose the right to properly apply from their country.......

Not to be expedited but just allowed to re-apply.....

How many tax dollars did they get for pinching off 4 illegals and other welfare?

Try doing what they did here as an American in Mexico.

Just get out. The immigration laws apply to everyone equally. At least they should.

They’ve been here since the 90s and are asking for more time?! Dang ... how much more time do they need to file the proper paperwork to stay here legally?

Yes, they’ve all “WORKED HARD” according to the All-Knowing “Journ-O-List” here . . . not doubt, first-hand knowledge

Notice how liberals only use the words “work” “worked hard” and “hard work” when it comes to defending people who broke the law to come here?

In all other cases, the work ethic is nonexistent, like it is with most of the welfare staters (and some Journ-O-Lists)

She is a registered nurse? I doubt that. Those reporters believe everything that the illegals say.

Did they ask for more time to come here illegally?

They should also be entitled to keep all their property and assets.

In Mexico.
