A price on her head, as good of a fairy tale lie as any.
If nothing else this poor, put upon soul looks well fed.

PHILADELPHIA - In a cramped house with mice in the kitchen and music booming from cars outside, Keldy Mabel Gonzales Brebe lays bare her three-year journey from Honduras to the United States and all that lies ahead to adapt to life as an immigrant.
She fled the Central American nation with her family and a price on her head to seek asylum at the U.S. border. Instead, U.S. officials separated her from her children, jailed and deported her under President Trump’s “zero-tolerance” policy to prosecute adults entering the country illegally. While the boys were allowed to live with relatives in Philadelphia, their mother made her way back to Mexico, where she fought to join them.
Three years later, America has jettisoned many of Trump’s hardline immigration policies.
Keldy was one of four parents who returned to the United States during the first week of May with temporary legal status to join their children in what Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said was “just the beginning” of a broader effort to reunify families separated during Trump’s presidency — more than 5,500 children.
Yet now they face new difficulties. Keldy’s son, Mino, dropped out of school to help pay the rent on the house that six of them sharem where Keldy sleeps on the living room sofa. She wants to get a job, but is caring for her 7-year-old autistic niece and an unsteady 75-year-old mother, along with cooking and cleaning for the family. She sees drug use on the streets of the Kensington section of Philadelphia where they live.
“I hear gunshots sometimes. With my sister, when we run a quick errand, I look around to see whether someone was killed,” Keldy said. “La Ceiba, where I grew up, was like that.”

BOO-F’N-HOO......
A price on her head, as good of a fairy tale lie as any.
If nothing else this poor, put upon soul looks well fed.
Too bad...
So she heard gunshots in her hometown and didn’t feel safe, so she moved to Philadelphia?.
Sorry lady but you were probably safer back home.
Tell us again what's the problem? Looks like how a lot of Americans tables and homes look.....and you're all fat!
Yeah, and we are footing the bill.
Poor thing is all skin & bones
All of the skinny ones pose for the $19 per month charities...
Associated Press shill piece.
Sorry, you were better off where you came from. Go home. You are not an immigrant. You are an illegal border crosser.
These pics always show dramatic tears. Ugh.
Back to the Bush Plan for North Mexico after a brief hiatus.
That headline could also read: “Illegals getting free stuff and plan to stay here until Trump elected again and throws them out”
Do these fvking ingrates not see the Americans who are looked upon as trash in parts of Philadelphia like Kensington? Those Americans had dreams once and born American and we allow parasites to boo hoo. Many would love that roof over the head and full Fedgov and state help. It makes my blood boil.
Our home had plaster falling off the walls in the stairway, (not even close to what this woman has,) our curtains were plastic, and my mom drove old beat up cars but by golly she went to work often two or three jobs .....while taking a correspondence course on nursing. She pushed hamburgers, Avon, and cleaned houses, whatever it took. And we all wore hand me downs from neighbors kids..
BUT...as kids we never knew we were poor. It was a big deal for her to get a new vinyl dining room table cloth once a year or free dishes in laundry detergent...(her best dinnerware).....we never went without what we needed. And we celebrated the life we had...and still do. All of us are successful in life and still are, as are our the grandkids.
So this woman has no problems...she can't work her way out of.
