Maria and Eusebio Sanchez are not exactly high priority targets for deportation. They aren’t drug lords, convicted criminals or the “bad hombres” the president wants to be rid of.
But the couple are undocumented immigrants. And, after moving to the Bay Area in the early 1990s from a small town in Mexico, they have worked hard to embrace the American Dream. Over the years, Maria, 46, rose from being a housekeeper at an East Bay nursing home to become a registered nurse at Highland Hospital today, caring for patients with cancer, heart, and kidney disease.
Eusebio, 47, graduated from construction jobs to become a full-time truck-driver for the last 12 years. They paid taxes, obeyed the law, and sent two of their four children to college.
Tuesday all that ends when the couple is deported back to Mexico — one day after Eusebio’s 48th birthday.
ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice said that over the last 15 years, the Sanchez’s immigration case has undergone exhaustive review at multiple levels of the Department of Justice’s immigration court system, which is administered by the Executive Office for Immigration Review.
“The courts,” she said, “have consistently held that neither of these individuals has a legal basis to remain in the U.S.,” and had already granted them stays of removal.

If she IS a registered nurse, that means US hospitals employ illegals as registered nurses! Or did she use someone else’s ID and they didn’t check up on her? Registered nurse is a good, decent-paying job. Some American could be working that job. Deport her lying, cheating butt NOW.
BYE!
she sounds like a good lady
whose nursing skills will be very useful in her own country
bless her and repatriate her
even for a nice nurse, I am still sick and tired of USA being over-run with illegals
In fact I can think of certain situations where I might be shot and killed...by a homeowner or a foreign nation's border guards,for example.
There's a video on youtube by a guy named Bill Whittle (an outstanding commentator) called "Where Do You Live,Mark Zuckerberg ?" in which he points out that Zuckerberg,a loudmouth supporter of open borders,would see to it that an intruder onto his property,having somehow gotten over his 20 foot high wall,wouldn't get five feet before being detained by his armed security force.
And two middle class mexican professionals
Badly needed back home
They have hospitals in Mexico. They have trucks in Mexico. Neither one will have trouble finding work.
Seeing a lot of Obama-era deportation cases (heck, this one is even older) in the ‘news’.
Dems hoped to use them as PR to support President Hillary’s attempts to weaken US laws.
[The couple’s deportation saga began in 2002 when two of Maria’s nursing home co-workers reported her immigration status to her boss after she was promoted to supervise them.]
So, the ILLEGAL ALIEN got the promotion over the American citizens so they reported her. Guess it’s not true that these illegal aliens are only doing jobs that Americans won’t do.
This began in 2002, 15 years ago. They should have left then. It’s hard to feel much sympathy for them. Th y seem to think they are entitled to ignore our laws and be here.
.... they have worked hard to embrace the American Dream...
So did Bernie Maddoff...just not legally.
Looks like they’ll get on just fine back in Mexico.
______________________________________________
That’s exactly what I thought.
Oh well. They have to move back to ol’ Meh-hi-co so new illegals can take their place.
That’s sounds fair, right?
So they have been here for over 25 years and never once thought about pursuing legal status?
That's commendable. Very Commendable. Now, go back, and help pull together your home country.
If Type 'A' people are coming here, they are depriving their home country of their talent and drive. They need to go back and improve their homes so that the incentive dries up to begin with.
AT LAST!!
They can FINALLY be reunited with the documents they’ve been separated from for so long.
Got to love it when undocumented aliens can finally resolve their distance issue of being so severely separated from their precious documents!!
Warms the cockles of my heart, it does.
They may be wonderful people, but if we are going to abide by the rule of law, we have to follow the law even when it is unpleasant to do so.
The problem with Mexico is the mindset of Mexicans and their leadership. They do not embrace a philosophy of life that encourages the creation of wealth and enterprise.
The Mexican people are enterprising enough, but their government doesn't encourage economic advancement. Mexico is more stratified in terms of class than the US, and the Rich in Mexico really don't want the peones getting uppity.
According to the news article, this case has been kicking around in the system for years. By never actually deporting this couple, and many others like them, the administration could say they don’t have enough manpower or funds to enforce the law, and have to prioritize. By systematically enforcing the law, actually deporting illegal aliens, the backlog of cases in the system gets whittled down within the manpower and funds provided for by the budget. There’s no need for mass deportations. Everybody gets due process. But, the law will be enforced.
As for Congress, if they don’t like the law, change the law. President Trump as a candidate said he was open to a compromise. But, as Senator McConnell has stated, it’s not really realistic to think that the Senate can actually get its job done. Things take time. Maybe next year or the year after that, or in ten years. They’re too busy holding up Trump’s nominees, to actually do anything constructive for the American people.
iow they were caught and DELAYED deportation for 15 years.
indeed. and without doubt Mexico can use a nurse and even a truck driver or two
enough of these supposedly-tearjerking propaganda hit pieces in the MSM
enough!
send the illegals home...now. they do NOT belong here, they belong in their own nice countries.......(and then maybe possibly there might be some jobs in USA opened up for American citizens, too)
It’s stories like these that remind me of something my father said once. “This is like a man trying to avoid prison for robbing a bank, by claiming that he’s paying the bank back a little at a time”. No, you robbed the bank, you committed a criminal act and have to be punished for it.
They’ve been here since the 90s and are asking for more time?! Dang ... how much more time do they need to file the proper paperwork to stay here legally?

Read the article. They filed. They got her employer to sponsor them. They even hired an immigration attorney. They tried every trick in the book.
They came up short every time. Too bad.
