Why don't they go after the rest of the illegals? The drug dealers, the gang members, the cop-killers, the rapists....BINGO!

I can't be sure but I think that's the same woman, just tired and not smiling or made up.

This woman should NOT be deported.I agree with you.
Moonman62, indcons, ConservaTexan, From One - Many, Dixie Yooper, she turned herself in, probably after finding an immigration lawyer that knew what he was doing. the system worked the way it is supposed to. There are no arbitrary deportations. She went in front of a judge in an immigration court. She entered the country legally and she had no intent to defraud immigration service and the judge recognized that fact. She did nothing wrong. Under immigration law, you are in legal status while your case is under review and/or appeal in the courts. In this case USCIS wanted to deport her, but still needed a judge's order. Judge would not give it and even wanted the guy who screwed up her case prosecuted. That guy is the scum bag in all of this. And some of you wanted the husband deported. You cannot deport a U.S. citizen.

You got it.
I'm reminded of an old Tom Leher song, the Weinerschnitzel Waltz, that went in part:
"I remember I stepped on your dress, tra-la-la
Your skirts all came off, I confess, tra-la-la
Revealing for all of the other to see
Just what it was that endeared you to me."

I'd show her some clemency. That's my name for it. :P

My wife and I have been through this nightmare - although she's a citizen now - from start to finish (we were married overseas 10 years ago).
It looks to me as if this woman had indeed been duped by the notario.
The easiest way to do this is a fiancee visa, which takes the least time to process. While that's being processed the U.S. citizen can hang out with the fiancee overseas, but he/she has to wait for the visa approval to come here. Once granted they come to the U.S. and are married within 30 days.
Foreign spouse gets immediate "conditional" permanent residency, but the "legitimacy" of the marriage must be verified with documentation and interviews after 2 years. The "conditional" part is then removed, the spouse is now a permanent resident in perpetuity but can apply for citizenship after year 3 (not 5 as for other immigrants).
It's usually another year for the citizenship interview/testing, so 4 years total for a spouse.
Still, my experience was that it was a bothersome nightmare and I was very happy when we were done with it.

She's transporting beverages???:)

Whether she is actually transporting at present or not, she is well equipped for it.

Judging from the picture above, I might be willing to provide her with a temporary hiding place... I wonder if my wife would allow it?

don't think that's his wife... probably just a hot intern. Greasy hair and a man's nose is hot?

"Why don't they go after the rest of the illegals?"
Because the Left is using cases that are highly emotionally charged (splitting families apart) to paint anyone who is for immigration control and who is anti-amnesty as cold, heartless, racist thugs.
This and every case like it that are raised to the national platform is straight from the handbook of Leftist tactics.
Your argument is the perfect counterpoint. Let's not focus on this one illegal who happens to be married and may have a legal basis for being here. Let's address the millions who are here as individuals to work under-the-table and who are not paying "their fair share" (in Slick Willie's words) of taxes.

That guy is the scum bag in all of this. I went through the process from start (overseas marriage) to finish with my wife (her citizenship), and completely agree with you doc30.
Those of you who have been so harsh on these two people do not understand our immigration laws at all, and furthermore are quite uncharitable.
From everything I've read this woman was duped, was doing the best possible in the context of our immigration laws, and justice has prevailed.
I'm surprised at the disreputable xenophobia on this thread. These people did nothing wrong.

My English mother married a US citizen..but she did not become a citizen just by marying him..she had to go to classes and she had to take a citizenship test..then she had to take an oath of citizenship. A friend of mine married a Brazilian girl. She's gorgeous, has 3 degrees and speaks 7 languages. They had a hell of a time getting her into the country legally. I told him if she were infected with AIDS or was indigent or both citizenship would be automatic......

I agree,
they look like the same woman,
just one is smiling, has on make-up, her hair washed and combed, a tight sweater, contacts in and quad boobs (bra too small)....and the picture is at night.

The very thought that you should be allowed to apply for asylum from Columbia is stupid.Not really stupid.
Columbia has one of the longest-running political insurgencies in the world.

I have no sympathy for either of them. They broke the law. My son went through the process with his wife. My son married a lady from Australia. Everything was done legally. For this case, the law was violated. Please don't try to blame the breaking of the law on the notary. Blaming the notary is just plain silly, and suspect at best.
