Expect to see more anecdotal evidence of the "poor" hard working illegals as the MSM begins its press to bring in millions of new democrat voters
This is not the typical case, this man is married to an American born citizen....why is he being deported?
Too bad, enforce the existing laws to its fullest extent, deport and let them petition from their countries of origin. We have suffered from 20 years of abuse...no mas!
No more lawbreakers needed!
Typical of the philosophy that would displace personal responsibilty with the state.
His parents recently became citizens after seven years in the system, but the paperwork they started for their children was nullified as each turned 21, Sadie said.
If this is true, or even close to it, then I'm on his side.

“Fernando said, with Sadie interpreting for him”
This criminal has been here for 15 years and can’t speak English. Deport his a**!
Fernando had been stopped for speeding several times before without incident, but this time the trooper gave him a hard time, he said.
15 years here and he STILL doesn't speak English. Also note, he REGULARLY breaks the speeding laws (much like the immigration law) and then whines how we are "bad" for it.
I’m desperatly trying to sqeeze out a tear.
Nope, no luck!
It is no problem with the children, because they can go back to México with the parents. There is planty of work in México.
What never gets mentioned in all these complaining articles is that we Americans are not allowed to just go and settle in México. They will not even let US citizens own land in most areas. They will lock you up, or throw you out for the slightest infringement of their laws. If Americans were allowed free access to México, including property rights, we would strainghten out that country so that their workers would not even want to come here. There is a lot to do in México, if it were not so corrupt.
Try letting your visa expire in another country and see how long they let you stay.
You should have seen the one in the Tennessean last week: 14 year old illegal took a gun the school. When the police went to the trailer park that he and his mother lived in they ended up picking up several illegals. There was no way to make enough cheese to go with the whining
I went through this process. It is not that hard. We had two interviews.
Fernando and his wife chose not to even apply, thus breaking the law.
He has been here several years and she has to translate and interpret for him? This is another MSM sob story.
Bzzzzt. Wrong answer.
You did the wrong thing the day you "gate-crashed" at the US border. You just got away with it for 15 years.
Fernando-who is NOT an American citizen is going to be deported,,,,bo hoo,,.“All this while I’m a single mother with four kids,” she said..Nothing that I am seeing tells me that she can’t take her little rug rats and take them to Mexico with daddy(except most all are not mexicans) I wonder where the Daddy of the first 3 is ?? Maybe he could take them off of her hands so she can follow her sugar daddy to Mexico.He is so hard working and monolingual and she is bilingual so they should be able to do well in the Great Country of Mexico.
Garcia is 28. His parent brought him into the country in “the mid 90’s”. So let’s say 12 years ago. That means he was around 16 when he came into the country. 5 years to go from an “off the radar screen” illegal, to a naturalized citizen isn’t a whole lot of time.
It also appears that Mr. Garcia doesn’t speak English well enough to converse with the reporter sans interpreter. We only have their word that they were attempting to “get legal”. I rather doubt it.
Marrying an American citizen may make one eligible for a green card...but you still need to file the application with INS (now BCIS), submit to a medical exam (so we know that you're not bringing in communicable diseases) and your spouse needs to sponsor you (essentially guarantee economic support for the immigrant for a 10 year period so that he won't become a public charge...sounds like its possible the wife may not make enough to sponsor the husband? (there are income requirements)).
I like to think that if immersed in it, I could learn another language in somewhat under 15 freakin’ YEARS.
