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.

Claim it’s against your religion to have immunizations. They have to give you an exemption.
They should throw out all the cousins, aunts, uncles, ALL the other relatives too.
If nothing else, it sends a message to the other illegals to keep their kids in line.
Simple. Take a DNA sample from them before they are deported.
I guess to Jennifer being here illegally isn't a crime. The police are supposed to investigate all crimes and that includes being here illegally.
The word illegal actually means a crime has been committed Jennifer, I guess they don't teach that in liberal school.
Actually, some of those industries have been some of the strongest supporters of illegal immigration.
Regardless, Americans will have to reverse the "it's...like...our birthright, Dude..." mentality if they want to keep their economic position in the world.
Exemptions are available in every state. Some have philosophical exemptions, most have religious and medical.
“The incident raised concern among immigrants rights activists, but Tucson police said the officer acted appropriately by calling immigration agents. “
They did right.
I’m sure it raises concerns. It’s getting so an illegal alien cant break the law these days. That will cramp people’s style, for sure.
“immigrants rights activists...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...”
I swear, Nana gets tired of cleaning up you kids rhetoric..
IMMIGRATION, IMMIGRANTS, ILLEGAL ALIENS
illegal aliens are not immigrants
ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE ANTI-IMMIGRATION
I guess I'm still living in the past. None of that crap was an issue back then. Hell, I don't even have a raised seal on my original birth certificate. In order to apply for a passport, I had to get a brand new one.
I think I know of one kid who’s gonna get his ass kicked by his dad. Hope that weed was worth it, kiddo.
You know his family is going to kick his butt up and down until tommorow when they cross over illegaly again.
“This dopey family must be the unluckiest Mexicans in Arizona. You have to make a sincere effort to get your arse deported”
Uh, Dennis........most illegals are not Rhode Scholars : )
Looking forward to the show tonight!
The publik skools want those illegal alien butts in the school seats, they get more public funding for each. Nothing better than fueling the corruption, as far as they are concerned.
Three hours till Terry...
The guests tonight are his wonderful listeners...
Call in tonight

This group is suspected of being closely tied to left-wing radical Morris Dees and his Southern Poverty Law Center, ‘Mexican government agent’ - vehement reconquista Isabel Garcia and her Aztlan gang, ‘Derechos Humanos’, and other anti-American groups.
According to this Indymedia website, The Border Action Network formed in 1999 under the name South West Alliance to Resist Militarization to fight the human and environmental injustices caused by the militarization of the U.S.-Mexico border. In recognition of the broad and complex impacts of militarization, we are an alliance of border rights, environmental, social justice, human rights, and labor activists. Border Action Network is dedicated to exposing and ending the militarization of our borders and cities.
Jennifer Allen:
“A lot of immigrant families in southern Arizona are telling one another to carry the American flag in their hands, but hold the Mexican flag in their hearts,” she said.
Jennifer Allen of the Border Action Network says she is preparing a human- rights complaint against the U.S. government for “failing to prosecute vigilante groups.”
“These are people who have committed very low-level crimes for economic reasons and are not very threatening,” says Jennifer Allen, executive director for Border Action Network
The Guard presence has increased the militarization of the border and forced illegal entrants to try crossing in more remote areas, said Jennifer Allen, director of Border Action Network
“We’re glad that the number of troops is decreasing, but it would be even better if there were no National Guard on the border,” Allen said.
Many marchers targeted Kyl specifically, waving signs that read, “Senator Kyl, we want permanent residency” and “Senator Kyl, no more wall,” said immigrant-rights activist Jennifer Allen, director of the Tucsonbased Border Action Network.
The marches “showed that the community has strength and that the community has power, and we are willing to take to the streets,” she said.
Allen said her group and others will launch voter-registration campaigns aimed at getting Latinos who live on the border to go to the polls.
Jennifer Allen, director of the Tucson-based organization Border Action Network, is concerned that the federal government is turning over more and more of its responsibilities along the border to private companies that are motivated by profit rather than public security interests.
“The big questions become accountability and oversight, and who is ultimately going to be responsible for the actions of these folks on the ground,” Allen said.
Jennifer Allen, co-director of the Tucson-based Border Action Network adds that the illegal aliens “have civil rights and human rights that take precedence over defending the country.”

“There are more and more of these anti-immigrant, paramilitary groups, but
we had never before seen any with as many volunteers as Minuteman claims to
have,” said Jennifer Allen, director of Tucson-based Border Action Network,
an organization which defends immigrant workers’ rights and lives.
Allen responded to published reports that the Minuteman Project, a
virulently racist group based in California, had recruited over 500
“volunteers” who plan to descend on Tombstone April 1 for a month of armed
“patrolling” of a 40-mile sector along the U.S.-Mexican border with the
supposed aim of blocking the flow of undocumented workers from Mexico.
Mayor Ray Borane of Douglas, Ariz., said his town is closed to the Minuteman
group because it is made up of “white supremacists, racists and very
dangerous people.”
The Mexican government said it is monitoring the planned Minuteman armed
invasion and the U.S. Border Patrol has issued a statement calling on
Minuteman to “stay home.”
******
Ray Borane, his brother, judge corrupt Joe Borane, recently
served time for doing dirty
deals with Mexican drug cartels.

Jennifer Allen, director of the Border Action Network, a Tucson-based border watchdog group, applauded the new law enforcement effort. But Allen said illegal border crossers are dying because a buildup of border enforcement near urban areas is forcing them into the desert.
She said reducing deaths is a matter of changing U.S. immigration policy.
