Why did you do that to your child? Get your ass out!!
Her story would be better if it were comprehensible.
So sad nobama is too choomed out to care.
What question did the author’s daughter answer incorrectly? So far as I can tell, the author does not say. As a result, her story doesn’t make much sense.
All people in prison are separated from their loved ones. Oh how awful. We need to all write the President and complain about this. Sarc.
wow. if this is true (and i don’t doubt it is even though it’s been a long time since 2006), what a travesty of injustice and a simultaneous loss for our nation and this family.
perhaps our border agents at the time would not have been so jaded and incompetent in this case, if they’d had good leadership and a secure border at the time. very sad story.
build the wall Mr President. secure the border. secure the interior. deport illegal aliens with families intact. enforce the existing laws. ban chain-migration. support ICE. encourage self-deportation. support legal immigrants. may God help you to keep your promises.
Congratulations on becoming and American Citizen. Please bring us up to date on what’s been happening with your daughter in the intervening twelve years.

Wow. That sucks.
George W. Bush only cared about his father’s Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) and that requires Spanish speaking people.
“All this was in 2006 or thereabouts, shortly after the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) changed its name to USCIS. Only now, in 2018, has mother (me) been able to “share my story.” (There’s another vernacular tumor that should be excised by all decent editors.”
Hey, thats when W was President!
Is this writer on meth?
Separated from your daughter how?? Doesn't make any sense. You're both adults as far as I can tell.
And just what might the question have been to which her daughter gave the wrong answer?

> “Family values don’t stop at the Rio Grande,” roared George W. Bush, at the time.
He was talking about “Family” values, not “family values”.
World of difference. And while the latter demonstrably does stop at the Rio Grande, the former demonstrably did not.
A PhD candidate with a O-1 visa, which means the United States government wanted her here, was harassed into giving up her visa at a border crossing. No higher authority was involved. She was not arrested, charged, or prosecuted for any crime. In the twelve years since, this woman did not get a attorney to pursue the matter. The college that got her the O-1 visa did not raise hell over this.
This story does not add up. This would have been a case immigration advocates would have jumped on back then. Even with the War on Terror, no federal agency wanted to be seen acting like secret police toward foreigners. This was also in Washington State, which has one of he strongest ACLU chapters in the country.
There is something very wrong here, and it's not the proofreading.
Sad story.
But I need a lot more information before I make any judgments.
The author mentions a “trick question” three times, but never tells us what the question was, or how her daughter answered it.
Interesting story but very poorly written because you have to get past her rambling about writing in the first person to get to the actual story.
If by that you mean she lied, she deserved what she got.
And your whining is ineffective.
What was the trick question?
