If people self-deport, they can apply to come back, and wait their turn like everybody else. No lottery B.S.

“She walked over other people’s backs that had been waiting in line ahead of her.”

Absolutely. I despise those selfish people. They think they’re special and entitled to be here illegally.

To anyone that may have scalise as a rep...

Let him know that he’s been conned by a fraud -

From the info I posted in a prior thread

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4325399/posts

Looks like the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling on an immigration court order for deportation from January 19, 2001....

Looks like the family lied about a stay of deportation....

Petitioners Mandana Kashanian Milne, previously known as Mandana Kashanian McBride (“Milne”), and Mehrangiz Eghbal Pixley are aliens
whose petitions for suspension of deportation were denied and who now
face deportation. They contend that the Board of Immigration Appeals
(“BIA”) erred in denying their respective petitions....

Given the deference that we owe to the BIA’s interpretation of
statutes involving immigration matters and the cogent reasoning that it
has advanced in support of its interpretation of the stop-time rule, we
decline to substitute a different interpretation for the BIA’s, and
therefore affirm the BIA’s denial of the Petitioners’ petitions for the
suspension of deportation.

https://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/97/97-60349.cv0.wpd.pdf

part of reason...

4 Milne was divorced from the nonimmigrant student she married
prior to 1983. She then married a U.S. citizen but we found, in
our above-said unpublished opinion, that she had admitted that it
was a marriage of convenience. After another divorce, she married
her current husband, a marriage that is uncontested as “bona fide.”

The basis of the denial

The BIA denied this motion in 1997 without reaching the
merits, finding that § 309(c)(5) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and
Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (“IIRIRA”),5 rendered Milne
ineligible for reopening as a matter of law because she had not
established seven years of continuous physical presence here.

Mandonna Kashanian had been given an order of deportation

She appealed her deportation orders, all the the way to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals

They upheld her deportation.

There is no stay of deportation - because she would have had to take it to the Supreme Court and won a judgement from them.

the reasons for upholding her deportion order, from the decision:

she was granted non immigrant student visa because she got married.

She divorced her first husband before her student visa exipred.

Sje was given an order of deportation which she appealed

At some point, she entered into a sham marriage with a 2nd husband and divorced him

in 1992 her appeal was denied and she was ordered to be deported again

At some point, she had married a 3rd person, and had a child with him in 1993

she appealed again

The BIA denied this motion in 1997 in part, because she had left the country, so was not initially present in the U.S. continously for 7 years.

she appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

She and her family are lying about having a stay of deportation, unless there is a Supreme Court judgement that I don’t see

Staying off the radar like this means she’s probably paying no income taxes or any real taxes at all other than sales tax.

Foreigners have been coming here pulling off birth and marriage citizenship scams to get in here, making as much as they can and paying as little for it.

I can see why she would want to escape from Iran. We don’t know the circumstances. These ones from south of the border, however, are more economic migrants up here to make their fortunes. Or to flee from justice in their homeland. Criminals.

“If she loved this country, she would have taken the steps to become a citizen, not avoid it for 47 years. Anybody that came here illegally, and said they came here for a better life, part of that better life is petitioning to become a U.S. Citizen.”

Dittoes. This also applies to the ‘Dreamers’. Most have had sufficient time to at least initiate citizenship proceedings.

The asylum seeker had her petition denied and received a deportation notice from the immigration court.

Due process done.

WTF!

Unbelievable, scalise has basically aided and abetted a federal criminal......

I don’t have an issue with this case - let’s get rid of the worst of the worst - not some aging woman who’s been here for half a century.

Good point. The status of those people needs to be searched to see how many have petitioned the government for citizenship. If they haven't done anything, they need to go, because they've had since 2016 to do that. The DREAM Act was retroactive to 2012.

Of the millions of recent illegal immigrants, many of them criminals, they have to go after someone that’s been here for 47 years, has kids born here, married to an American and probably loves this country.

Lovesthis country so much in 47 years that she can't manage to get legal status? Her citizen spouse couldn't sponsor at least a green card, much less citizenship? What was she doing during the Reagan amnesty? The Clinton amnesties? The 2000 if-you-missed-Reagan amnesty? All the other little ones?

She sounds like a good option to deport if you ask me!

I take it you’re the type that if you had a burst pipe flooding your house and saw the kitchen faucet dripping you’d run to fix the little drip and let the house keep on flooding.

Rather dumb, no?
