TUCSON, Ariz. — A Tucson high school student and his family were deported after the teen was found with marijuana at school and police called the U.S. Border Patrol after learning he and his family were illegal immigrants.
The incident raised concern among immigrants rights activists, but Tucson police said the officer acted appropriately by calling immigration agents.
Police were called to Catalina High Magnet School Thursday after school officials found a small amount of marijuana in the backpack of a ninth-grader who appeared to be under the influence, said Chyrl Hill Lander, a spokeswoman for the Tucson Unified School District.
Police then asked the boy's parents to come to the school, and once they arrived an officer asked to see their driver's licenses. The parents told officers they had been living illegally in the U.S. for six years, along with the ninth-grader and their 17- and 12-year-old sons, assistant police chief Roberto Villasenor said Monday.

Good. One down, a lot more to go. Everyone of these criminals who comes to light should be send home.
If cops bust a kid and find out the family are criminals they’d lock ‘em up. Why do these “activists” think this is any different?

This dopey family must be the unluckiest Mexicans in Arizona. You have to make a sincere effort to get your arse deported
Breaking news?
This is a good thing. Unfortunately, it was only one when hundreds of thousands are still at large.

That's ILLEGAL immigrants rights activists, or rather rabble-rousers and law breakers themselves.
An immigrants rights proponent
Again, a proponent of ILLEGAL immigrants right...
And so on...
Sounds more like "busted" news to me ;-)

I'll bet if Jennifer has a parrot at home, it can say that too.
The solution is real simple, Jennifer. So do the right thing and become a legal citizen instead of slunking around the gutter living your life like a fugitive.
I have no sympathy for people who make themselves vulnerable to sleazy under-the-table employers, blackmail artists, and arrest/deportation if they're involved in something as simple as a traffic ticket or fender-bender. It's their fault for subjecting their kids to living on-the-lam, it's not the fault of society or the cops who enforcing laws that 80% of American citizens support (and 98% of legal immigrants).
I'm sick of these sob stories about how enforcing the nation's immigration laws tears apart families and subjects them to suffering. If they lived their lives like normal decent people, it wouldn't be happening. It's their fault, not everyone else's!
