Well, that is a d@mn shame that she did not have her papers in order. She confessed to a criminal act. By the reasoning of some, her children should be punished as well. Living with a convicted drunk driver and all, they will certainly grow up criminals as well. "Ignorance is no excuse for the law."
She wasn't drunk or anywhere close to impaired.
Tough. A convicted drunk driver is much worse than someone that overstays a visa. Right?
Drunk driving is a crime - having a glass of wine with dinner is not.
Are you purposely being obtuse on this issue?
