By all accounts, Jaime Villicana-Campos is a wonderful husband and a beloved father to his children.
He held two physically demanding jobs and worked seven days a week to support his large family. He somehow still made time to spend with his little girls, especially 6-year-old Angelica who suffers from epilepsy. She is particularly close to her doting father and is known in the family as Daddys girl.
But because of the nations sometimes vexing immigration laws, Villicana-Campos is sitting in a Tacoma federal detention facility. He was nabbed by immigration officials in June, a month before his fifth daughter was born. He still hasnt met baby Sophia.
In the meantime, his wife and five daughters languish without him in a Central Whidbey home that his brother-in-law rented for the family. His wife, Terra Villicana, is fighting for his freedom, but suffers from depression thats so debilitating that she had to be temporarily admitted to a psychiatric unit. Tears constantly stream down her cheeks as she discusses the untenable situation.
This is beyond pain. This is torture, Terra said. The hardest thing is to hear the kids cry at night. They just want their dad.
Jaime Villicana-Campos is married to an American citizen and has five children born in America. He has lived in America since he was 14. He worked hard and paid taxes. But still, he faces prison followed by deportation to Mexico because of a mistake he made in 1997.

Coupe deVille Muthah.
She is crying because he is in prison, not because he is being deported.
She knows, and we know, the sooner they deport him the sooner he will be home.
He will be back as soon as he can swim back across the Rio Grande and will probably carry 50 lbs. of Heroin back with him.
He has come back twice, he will come back again they will move to a new town and start again, Deportation is just a chance to go back home see the folks and return.
What Perry has to do with this is that he has hung out a a huge weclome sign in Texas, promising big bucks (up to $100,000 each) to those invaders who would break into our country and steal slots from Americans who want to go to TX colleges.
The spinoff is that all sorts of riff-raff come along too, looking for other freebies, and other ways to steal from Americans.
Deport him and his fat family can follow him to Mexico.
So, this story happened in Texas? IIRC, it was the federal judiciary that ruled states have to give illegals free stuff. You can argue that giving illegals who live in Texas in state tuition is wrong and I would agree but giving illegals welfare, free ER medical care, SNAP, schooling for their kids, etc. is not up to Perry. It is a federal mandate.
Sneaks into the country twice; convicted drug dealer; can't become a citizen because he is an aggravated felon.
Author Jessie Stensland sure has strange notions about "vexatious immigration laws." I wonder why he/she isn't out in solidarity with his/her compatriots at "Occupy This."
Waaah. Send his illegal butt home with his bean shark and all the little ones. AMF!
What a cruel heartless individual to knowingly put innocent children in that position. She knew the husband was an illegal from the time she married him. Knew she was putting her children in the position that they could one day have their father taken from them.
How about a few stories of how that affects them and how the government could give them a bit more to make it easier on them.
You guys are so hard hearted! I think we should let the family go with their husband/father back to his country. It’s the only humane thing to do...
I am all for family reunification--in Tampico.
Perry capitulated on the stuff he did have control over. A big item was his financial incentive to keep the invaders coming over and stealing limited college slots from Americans. Those families drug along a whole bunch of other freeloader invaders.
If you want to give him a pass, give him a pass. The rest of the country won’t, which is why he has plummeted in popularity with primary voters.
so, let me ask this question: Should illegal aliens who are meth and coke dealers be admitted as US citizens?
I am not happy about the tuition thing. The point I was trying to make is that a whole bunch of the freebies, which cost way more than providing in-state tuition to illegals, are mandated by our federal courts. That is a bigger incentive to illegals then anything Perry has done and it needs to be adressed.
