We were reasonable. She entered illegally, so the government has every right to deport her. We recognized, however, that she did not enter illegally by choice. Therefore we chose not to exercise the right to deport her, but rather allow her to remain here. As a condition of allowing her to remain, she had to pay a fee. She chose not to pay the fee. Since she broke the conditions of her amnesty, that amnesty no longer applies, and she’s being deported.
What’s so unreasonable? It’s analogous to a criminal who’s been paroled. We have every right to keep that person in prison, but have chosen not to exercise that right. The criminal is released subject to certain conditions. Violation of those conditions results in the criminal returning to prison.

Alt-Leftists are having temper tantrums all over the place. Let them vent, and then let’s move on, I say.
