The only thing sad about this story is that it is probably going to be difficult for them to sell their house now. But I’m sure ICE will let them take all their liquid assets and move back to Colombia. Of course, the plane ride will be free (i.e., billed to us). With all the investments the US public school system has made in these boys, they should be able to go to college, graduate at the top of their college classes, apply for student visas and come here as graduate students whose student visas then get converted, by US employers, to work visas. I don’t know why they’re so unhappy. Going to college overseas? What an adventure! For the parents, returning to their home country with a lot of money? Hey, how wonderful! Where’s the sad part?
Agreed.
Being in the country for more than 1 year illegally is a mandatory 10 year bar on entering the U.S. Certain circumstances can extend it to a lifetime ban. These kids will never be allowed to come to college here.
That being said, Some leniency for the kids, like lifting the madatory bar for LEGAL re-entry, IMHO is reasonable. The kids should not be punished for the choice of their parents.
HORSE POOP!!!!
These illegal aliens literally STOLE an AP (advanced placement, for those in rio linda. A FINITE number of seats) seat from legal residents and citizens.
You are advocating REWARDING A THEFT just as certain as the DREAM ACT IS AMNESTY.
Deporting this illegal alien to ensure LEGAL residents are not supplanted by ILLEGAL alients is not only correct, it is an obligation.
