If he has been in the country and is married to a U.S. citizen why isn't he a citizen or have permanent residency? It's very easy.

If he has been in the country and is married to a U.S. citizen why isn't he a citizen or have permanent residency? It's very easy. I think you have to cool your heels off in your country of origin for a number of years, while waiting for your green card to be approved. It's obviously very traumatic for the spouse, let alone the children. I could see a divorce resulting from a repatriation. And for a Protestant preacher in English, I expect it would be doubly traumatic to be sent back to a Spanish-speaking country where the predominant religion is Catholicism. What's good enough for ordering food in a Spanish-themed restaurant or dealing with Hispanic day laborers isn't quite good enough for church sermons.

Yup big question mark on that, and if he found God and devoted his life, why the lying, falsehood and living illegally? I'd say the morals he was teaching his kids were pretty poor.

exactly
He did not feel the need to get “legal” until he got caught. Why should we let him enjoy what he took illegally when there are so many who want to do it the right way.
This trying to make us feel sorry for these law breakers has gotten OLD.
I save my compassion for all those waiting in line who respect our laws.

“He is an undocumented citizen”
No such thing.

A recent report by the IG of DHS showed that they have been releasing thousands of known felons back into our country under the guise of "prosecutorial discretion" - but this guy does not qualify under the "guidelines". (The IG also pointed out that DHS does such a poor job of monitoring and tracking those released under such "prosecutorial discretion" that they are not even able to DEVELOP guidelines.)
It seems obvious that this guy was deported when others have been released primarily because he is a Christian - just another example of the Administration's war on faith.
Please note that I am not saying that he should not have been deported as an illegal - I all I am saying is that the Obama Administration seems to be happy to keep felons who are illegal (and thus probably liberal) here, but eager to deport illegals who are Christians (and thus might be conservative).

The children have dual citizenship. They can move to Mexico. I'm sure that the wife can apply for residency in Mexico, since she is married to a Mexican citizen, and her children are also citizens of Mexico.
See how easy this was to resolve!
Next question...

“Prosecutorial discretion is part of immigration law that is not black and white. It’s discretionary. It’s a shade of gray..."It's just that we have 11.7 Million Shades of Gray in this country right now.

He is an undocumented citizen. He is also a giant midget, and a carnivorous vegetarian.
To: nickcarraway
The article seems to say that he is a convicted felon who has already been deported once before, in 1993.
To: nickcarraway
We keep being told lately about this fear of deportation. What the heck? For decades, illegals have been deported and are back across two weeks later. Nothing happens to them except a free bus ride back to visit grandma. The fear is nowhere but in lib journalists demented minds.
