The name of the country is spelled Colombia (not Columbia - aka "Gem of the Ocean" - funny how it only takes one paragraph to tell which reporters were kept back with the "slow" kids) and if I had to select my favorite country and people in South America it and they would be the ones. That being said, the law is the law.

But out of all the millions of potential deportees why would a young and apparently extremely intelligent and gifted Colombiana be selected for the boot? The Colombians I know (legally here) are universally very conservative and more pro-American than most Americans. Was this young lady targeted not only because she earned notice from her exceptional academics but because she and/or her family have the "wrong" politics? There are a few million others here uninvited I'd love to escort to the border before someone like this.
