A quote from Mr. Perez: “Oh, Jesus, it’s terrible. I want to be with my children. I want to be with my wife.”

That is very easy to remedy Mr. Perez: Your wife and children can move to Mexico City! See how simple?

“I feel betrayed,” she said. “I don’t like my country very much right now."..

Kind of like how half my family felt when they went through immigration legally over a period of 10 years, only to have a great lot of criminal freeloaders cross the border illegally and score big on liberal welfare lotto.

Am i missing something here? He was sent back home because he was here illegally,and his family made the conscious decision to stay here instead of going with him. When I was a kid if my dad got a job somewhere else we all moved to that location. This family was not tore apart they chose to separate.

What does it matter? Go back to your loser country...you criminal alien.

[muawiyah]

The leftwingtards are not lamenting the damage done to the poor who work at WalMart and other retailers who’ve had their work time cut to 30 hours by ObamaKKKare.

So does prison. So what? Break the law, deal with the consequences.

“I feel betrayed, I don’t like my country very much right now."

What the.. what's Michelle complaining about? She can't get a wide-bodied jet for this month's vacation? Wot? The quote is from one of the women in the article? Oh.

[NoLibZone]

Lawlessness breaks families apart.

It’s very common.

[VerySadAmerican]

They told me that if the Navy wanted me to have a wife they’d have issued me one.

[Tainan]

DD SS. These sob stories just about always include, deep in the text, the fact that these are repeat offenders.
They know how to game the system and they play the odds.
Sign the book as you enter or stay the fook out.

Mr. Perez has been deported twice. As punishment, he isn’t allowed to even apply for a visa until 2020.
The couple has discussed ways to be reunited. Mrs. Perez said she is willing to move to Mexico to be with her husband. He has suggested they find another homeland, perhaps Canada. Mr. Perez has talked about trying to sneak back into the United States a third time, but he said that is very dangerous and expensive.

The question for her (and part of any legal naturalization process, do you get to stay or do you leave?): are her loyalties with her native country or North America? Does she wave the flag of her native country or the American flag if there is ever a conflict between the two?

[caww]

Especially since ‘they know the risk’ from the start......All is fine until they get caught...then the tears flow, the weeping and wailing...and the standard..”It’s not fair”...and the “lists” of what they have contributed to the country.

With all their work you’d wonder why they didn’t do one thing to become legal.....

[caww]

....”the family doesn’t have to be split up. They certainly can all leave together and I would be happy to help them pack. They make the choice to stay here”.....

Exactly....

Why did she marry an illegal?

[Godwin1]

Two points. She is an American citizen and an educated woman. She knows that a foreigner married to an American can get authorization to remain here, obtaining a green card and eventually citizenship. Why did they not do apply to do this? The only circumstance under which this would not be possible would be if the non-citizen had a criminal record. Could it be the journalist is hiding something from us?
Second, as others have said, no one is breaking up her family. They can move to Mexico. I appreciate her military service: but why marry an illegal? Is it someone else’s fault that she was imprudent?

[publius911]

Why do people think it is okay to break the law without consequences?

Because they can, and the people elected to represent us enable the lawbreakers.

I am sure most Americans are charitable enough to reunite this nice family to anywhere in Mexico where her illegal husband is.

I'd chip in.
But it's not a matter of reuniting them, is it.

[publius911]

Criminals’ families are often [always] torn apart.

There.
Fixed it.
