I don't care whose wife that pic wasn't. The woman in that picture is not guilty.
And this couple did exactly what your son did. What would you do if ICE came to your daughter-in-law's door seeking to deport her after everything you knew they did for her to be here legally? You know they filed the paperwork and paid fees. They may have had a lawyer assist them, too. That's just what happened with this couple and that is not a violation of the law? Based on your own arguements, then, you beleive that someone is guilty of something they know they didn't do because someone else, either their representative or the government, screwed up the paperwork. My advice, be careful comparing this situation with that of your family. Your family could very easily have been in the same situation and I'd expect you to call your son and daughter-in-law law breakers, even though it wasn't anything they did.
LOL....praying for you.
Wrong, my son and his wife have never had this problem. I suppose there are ways to keep from violating law(s) where one doesn't get the 'visit'. LOL
Wipe the drool off before your keys get stuck...
OK. They do look alike, though.
This'll make your day.....
Immigrant Wins in Drug Deportation Case
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1748769/posts
...Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrived at her home Nov. 28 with an order to remove her from the U.S. ...
The deportation order stems from Herrera's repeated failure to appear before a judge on the asylum application...
For your first question, she is entitled to due process under the law. TO deport someone, you need an order to appear. And you are entitled to appeal a deportation order.
Secondly, what does changing her last name have to do with the price of tea in China? I know many people, immigrant and U.S. Citizen that do not change their surnames for a variety of practical reasons. That's their business, not your or mine. It is not a legal requirement and it is irrelevant to this case. And she did the proper thing by turning herself in. Botched paperwork, the root cause of this situation, is not something anyone with common sense would hold against someone. I don't see any wrongdoing here. What would you do if you believed you were doing everything properly in a complex legal situation and then found out everything was a mess and your future and your family were on a precipice as a result?
Actually, what your sone and daughter-in-law did was no different that what happened in this story. The difference is that their paperwork was properly filed and their cases adjudicated without any problems. In this case, the woman thought the case was properly filed, just like your family did, but in reality, it was seriously screewed up. Because she did enter the country legally, she had due process to appeal her order, turned herself if, most likely after realizing her notary is a crook and getting good legal advice. According to later posts, the judge ruled in her favor. Do you disagree with this judge? Even ICE agrees not to persue this matter any further. I don't consider this a willful violation of U.S. immigration laws or an attempt to defraud immigration. The outcome is as it should be.
"I WOULD RATHER HAVE AN AMERICA LOVING PERSON COME HERE ILLEGALLY THAN AN AMERICA HATING BASTARD TO COME HERE LEGALLY (remember Mr. Atta?)"
A real American would want to stop both.
I am confident that those issues were addressed at the hearings at which Herrera's repeated failure to appear before a judge on the asylum application was an issue.
what does changing her last name have to do with the price of tea in China?
It has nothing to do with tea, China or monetary exchange rates. I was using it to show the extent she is willing to (not) go to assimilate. If you cant handle that concept, let it go, it is not that important.
What would you do if you believed you were doing everything properly in a complex legal situation and then found out everything was a mess and your future and your family were on a precipice as a result?
I am not sure what I would do, but I am sure I would not go into hiding for 7-8 days while my lawyer dreamt up some flimsy its not me it was the other three scenario.

Nearly all of the illegal aliens have no love for this country, they won't even learn the language.
Why does anyone expect them to love us? They know nothing about us before coming here. Same for legal immigrants.
And those two guys in Texas didn't have to leave the door open for the cops to find them playing mattress polo, either, but it sure got our attention.
I'm sorry but she should be deported. She is here illegally. As for Columbia how do you excuse granting her asylum when our govt is (as we speak) sending illegals back to Columbia. Haven't you read about the gang affiliated illegals we have been deporting. Some are in Columbia now with thier gang tatoos and they claim they can't speak Spanish as they were raised here.
Aren't you leaving out something!! It should read:
if you meet someone from a foreign country WHO IS HERE LEGALLY and marry them, that person is entitled to remain here and apply for adjustment of status. It's only if you met them before they entered the country that they have to go back and then go through the paperwork.
Also, if you meet them before they come here they can come over on a fiance visa.
Obviously this woman as well as her husband thought that the rules were for everyone else and got caught.
The rest of us who have followed the rules (laws to those of you in Rio Linda)are simply sick and tired of the rules/laws being bent in favor of lawbreakers and cheaters who jump in then demand that they be excused. No more or at least not much longer are the American public going to tolerate this in favor of the old "cheaper prices" any longer!
