LOL! Yeah, like the FR "assume illegality" choir doesn't match that description to a T.
Who can blame them?
I can blame them, and I do. For all of the wailing and gnashing of teeth about the MSM failing to look at facts, some FReepers seem awfully willing to dispense with facts as well, when it suits their agenda to do so. This thread appears to be one such case: what facts we do have seem to support the fact that she's here legally. For example, she apparently successfully went through Customs when she returned from Nicaragua -- which is an indication that her papers were at least in order.
Could she have been made legal in Reagan’s amnesty? I can’t off the top of my head remember the date of that.
Reagan signed the immigration reform bill in 1986. However, Ms. Gomez hails from Nicaragua, and at the time she left there she was automatically eligible for political asylum in the US, so I don't think the '86 amnesty had much to do with her status.
You seem kinda angry. I recommend a nice latte with a shot of bourbon.
