A coffee farmer in Hawaii who appealed his deportation order in federal court was forced to leave the island late Friday, after a last-ditch effort to remain with his wife and children was denied, according to NBC-affiliate KNHL.
Andres Magana Ortiz said goodbye to his wife and his three children at Kona International Airport late Friday after the Department of Homeland Security rejected his lawyer's petition to grant him legal status because he is married to a U.S. citizen, KNHL said.

I thought it was "for better or worse" not unless he has to move.
They don’t call them anchor babies for nothing.
They’ll still be his ticket back in if at all possible.
He’ll come back. He’s too valuable in this country. It won’t take 10 years.
I had to go back to the article to check the title. Yes, they really said “well-respected.”
From the article:
“He added that, as a judge, he understood why he had to enforce the order but, as a citizen, he struggled to see the merits of breaking up a family.
“’He will be returned to Mexico, having spent 28 years successfully building a life and family in this country,’ Reinhardt said. ‘The government forces us to participate in ripping apart a family.’”
If they love their husband/dad, why don’t they go with him?
I don’t care how “well-respected” this guy was or how “successfully” he built a “life and family” in this country.
He’s a common thief.
You are forcing an American woman and children to live in the hellhole of Mexico to keep their family together. You fiends!
As it is it seems that they are not committed to being a family unless it is in the US. Sort of lowers the sympathy level in us hardhearted types who have followed our spouses as they went from country to country.
Since when did that ever stop them?
Is this the begining of a return to sanity?
Bet you could find 10 US citizens who could do his job better than he did inside of a week.
What an opportunity!
If he figures out how to grow Kona in Mexico he’ll be the richest man on Earth.
KNHL, virtual and VHF digital channel 5, is a television station in Hastings, Nebraska,?????
You would think something like this would come from KHNL, Honolulu
Buy-bye!
The guy wasn’t a US citizen?
Did he have a green card?
If he had been a poorly respected coffee grower, no one would have cared?
Juan Valdez didn’t need no stinkin’ passport...
The US should never have allowed citizenship for the children of illegals. The entire family should be deported because they harbored the illegal.
I agree that would have been Ideal answer but stories like this have a good feel about them every time I hear them
Pardon, but what is the legal justification for anchor bastards in the 1st place? The 14th amendment creator explicitly mentioned that just being born here isn’t enough. Subject to the jurisdiction and all that.
