An immigration rights activist whose own undocumented status was exposed by a drunken-driving arrest has lost her six-month legal battle to remain in the country.
Wendy Uruchi Contreras, a Virginia organizer for the immigrant rights group CASA, is scheduled to be deported to Spain this week after last-ditch appeals were denied by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, according to her husband, Giovani Jimenez.
We are devastated, said Jimenez, who lives in Fredericksburg, Va., with their American-born children, Alex, 13, and Lucia, 7. My children are crying, but we know theres nothing more we can do.

Illegal aliens are not immigrants
Immigrants are people who apply in their home country to be immigrants, pay their fees, wait their turn, learn the language and comply with the laws.
More like 39,999,999 to go.
The government has been holding the estimated number of illegals at 11 million for about twelve years now.
Hey, Wendy and Giovani! Illegal means “ILLEGAL”! Now do you understand?
BYE! ;-)
There is a bill in Congress now to correct this, Steve King introduced it, he needs co-sponsors, write your congressmen, I already did.
AMF
Making that a very front and center part of the new immigration policy WOULD tend to encourage self-deportation.

Doesn’t sound like she’s a Virginian. Sounds like she’s a Spaniard.
I've been making the same point, lately. I hope President Trump uses that exact line when the deportations begin in earnest.
Yes, it should be shouted from the mountaintops.
Leave voluntarily and you can apply to do it the right way like you should have, or if we have to deport you it is a 10 year wait to even apply.
I hope you are joking.
you and the kids can go with her
A child’s citizenship should be the same as the child’s parents, whether singular or dual. It should not be based upon the place where the child is born. A cat having kittens in a warming oven doesn’t make the kittens biscuits.
LMAO ..... Funny !

“Driving drunk is not a victimless crime. “
I can attest to that. Had one drunk swerve his car across 4 lanes and stopped right in front of me. I could not stop in time.
She can go back to Spain or wherever.
Many leftists are arrogant. And, besides, she had so much help from the Obamunists, I am sure.
See ya, Marxist.
They focused on one thing, that she got that DUI, and it was like they forgot about everything on the other side of the scale, said Enid Gonzalez, Uruchis immigration attorney.
they forgot everything on the other side of the scale? she is her illegally... as for her community activism--that is not a plus... she's an advocate for others who are here ILLEGALLY! how stupid can anyone be?
Bingo!
