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.

legal status WAS pursued AFTER THEY WERE REPORTED!!
fought it for 15 years— WHILE CONTINUING TO WORK HERE!
I have empathy for them LEAVING the hell hole of mexico-
But EVERY study has shown more than HALF of mexico’s
population wants to leave!- the money currently sent back
( legally I might add- that can be tracked- is over $2
Billion a month! )- Trumps wall- and enforcement is
going to seriously cause Mexico to come apart- that rotten government does Not know what to do
So they have been here for over 25 years and never once thought about pursuing legal status?

Why would you say that? You didn’t read the article, did you?
IOW a legal resident nurse was denied a job or was paid less because of her...
The left using the tried and true heartstring BS to steer an agenda. Unfortunately this crap works all the often. I love the moved from a small town in Mexico bit. No they violated our laws and waltzed into the country illegally while thousands waited to come in the right way from all over the world.
No, it doesn’t end when they get back to Mexico. I am sure Mexico could use an educated nurse.
FAKE NEWS.
Fake News is any MSM story (true or not) designed to inflate and agitate the anti-Trump agenda.
Whether it’s a poor single mother being “victimized” by Trump’s plan to get rid of ObamaCare, or some poor Mexican family getting deported or what have you.
It’s just part of the agenda to report on anything to try and damage Trump.
FAKE NEWS.
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.
AND WHO PAID FOR THIS?
Agreed. If they have a clean record and evidence of contributing to the community, why not let them stay?
” But the couple are undocumented immigrants.”
Get rid of these lawless people from our Country.
They are SCUM!
Don’t wait .
Deal with these Leeches and get them off US soil ASAP!
But you have to apply for entry into our country. Just crossing illegally just doesn’t cut it. Sorry. You broke our laws and now you must go.
That’s pretty much what I stated......
They should just be given the ability to apply to come back......
Not agreeing with you in entirety....deport but allow them to still apply legally.....right now they can’t
Yeah, I went back and read it. Doesn’t say when they applied for the green cards though. They should have done that when they entered ... maybe it would’ve worked out for them.
They don't have a clean record.
They entered our country illegally. They are criminal aliens.
Criminal aliens should be deported and NOT allowed to apply for re-entry in the future.
How did the husband pass the checks to be a “full-time truck driver”?
I agree!
She took up a space in a US nursing school that was denied to an American citizen. Did she get Pell grants? Federally guaranteed student loans? In-state tuition? On many scholarship and student loan applications you have to furnish a SSN. Did she use a fraudulent one? Did she fraudulently receive money that should have rightfully gone to a deserving US citizen?
DEPORT THEM NOW!!!
“They paid taxes...”
Uh, how, without a social security number? Oh, yeah, a FRAUDULENT one.
Dig a little deeper into their affairs and find a lot more fraudulent CRIMES.
What part of “ILLEGAL” don’t these people understand. What part of “BREAKING THE LAW” don’t these people understand? Liberal politicians don’t see it that way either!
