daho (ABC4) — Cenobio Feliciano-Galeana came to the U.S. illegally when he was 18 years old. 18 years since he’s found a life, a wife, and now four children. But after seeing the deportations taking place across the country, he has decided to self-deport back to his home country of Mexico

Ashlee, Cenobio’s wife, says she and the family are coming with him. At the end of the year, she plans move with her four children to a country they have never known, just to keep the family together

Here come the sob stories. I was born by a Mother and Father who were legal US citizens.

[Vesuvian]

Adios!

First off...he ain’t an “Idaho Man”.

Second off...what does he care? He got what he wanted. She may be a bit chubby, but she blew off her countrymen and went with a foreigner.

Hope they have running water and functioning sewage plants where she’s headed, but that’s a crap shoot down there in Mexotopia.

Dad separated from family...😓😓😓😓. Buh bye.

[The Antiyuppie]

Two last names. Fancy.

If I get caught after failing to pay taxes or driving without a license for 18 years, will I get a sob story too?

His wife and kids will be back in short order as living South of the Border sucks....that is why they want to come here...

[AndyTheBear]

Why do some see sending someone to their own country as unjust?

When I see these “SOB stories,” my reaction is, “Good. Get those SOBs out of here!” Besides, the left assures us there are no “shi*hole” countries or cultures, so he/his family should be very happy going back to wherever he came from.

So he could find the time to get a wife but not apply for citizenship?

[NorthMountain]

Good news all around.

Well, Ashlee you should have married an American citizen or you had 18 years to get him a green card.

[Mathews]

This is the way.

This is the top story in Idaho? I’d think the hunt for Travis Decker would supersede this one-sided sob story.

[Joann37]

Grwat! That’s the idea!

[Joann37]

Great! That’s the idea!

[TangoLimaSierra]

This is the way.

Zactly. Now he is eligible to apply to return the right way.
Also, nothing wrong with the family going along and seeing a new way of life.
Military families do it all the time.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Well he’s illegal and his family are illegal so good for him for leaving..he can take the rest of the illegal aliens with him

Mexico could use talented workers. Especially those fluent in English. My last company before I retired had a lot of production based in Mexico. Keeping our plants staffed there was a constant headache even with a first class cafeteria which served great meal choices to all three shifts.

In my six years there, I reported to four different managers in Mexico. One was promoted, the other three were recruited to even better paying jobs due to the skillset our company helped them develop.
