DENVER (AP) - A congressman was seeking deportation of a Mexican family after he read an article about how one son couldn't afford college because federal law bans financial aid for illegal immigrants.
Rep. Tom Tancredo said he contacted the Immigration and Naturalization Service and asked that Jesus Apodaca, 18, and any other undocumented relatives be deported.

Mike Comfort, director of the Denver INS office, confirmed the agency had been contacted by Tancredo but would not comment on how it will respond.
The INS will probably respond by charging Mr. Tancredo with a hate crime.
I hate to tell you, Maria, but this isn't the point. You and your family are here illegally, and your son has obtained a high school education from the citizens of this country. If you want your son to have a college education, go home and legally reapply for admittance to the US.
Kidnapping thwarted by elderly woman
Associated Press
Sept. 13, 2002TUCSON - An elderly woman driving under duress on a southern Arizona highway signaled an alert Border Patrol agent, who stopped a kidnapping in progress, authorities said Thursday.
The woman and her husband, both 73, were accosted Wednesday at their Parker Canyon Lake home by two illegal immigrants after agreeing to provide lunch for the men in exchange for yard work, officials said.
The men initially had requested water, Cochise County Sheriff's spokeswoman Carol Capas said. The couple were not identified.
Capas gave this account:
When the woman heard a noise from the porch and stepped outside, one man grabbed her from behind, restrained her and taped her mouth. She broke free and demanded to know where her husband was.
Her assailant asked for their truck keys, but she refused to provide them until she saw her husband, who was being held on the ground by the second man, bleeding.
The woman told the men her husband needed medical care and convinced them to help them into the truck.
She drove next to her husband and her attacker also sat in front, while the other man climbed into the pickup's bed beneath a camper top. They told her to drive to a nearby RV park, where they picked up five more undocumented immigrants who also climbed into the truck bed.
The woman said she was going to drive to Sonoita for medical help and started blinking her lights and tapping the brakes as she approached a Border Patrol agent on Arizona 83.
The agent saw that the couple and their passenger appeared nervous, turned around and made a traffic stop. The man in the cab jumped out and escaped. The agent arrested the other six people, all illegal immigrants, in the truck bed.
Capas said Ricardo Paredes-Vargas, 20, of Mexico City, whom the woman identified as her husband's assailant, was charged with aggravated assault, kidnapping and conspiracy to commit kidnapping.
He was held in Cochise County Jail pending an initial appearance in Cochise County Superior Court.
The Border Patrol said the other five people were processed and voluntarily returned to Mexico.
The couple were treated for cuts and bruises by emergency medical technicians.
The border needs to be militarized.
Yep, and start here in California, where there are several million of them, and California taxpayers get to pay for their sorry asses.
No problem.
Mexico has some fine Universities.
Actually, I think the reporter/newspaper has a valid point. How about a story about an illegal immigrant (not alien) who comes into this country by crossing the hot Arizona desert, via Mexico, in order to seek a better (after) life for himself and his fellow martyrs. I mean, 72 white virgins is pretty good, no? (If you did not see the sarcasm, you are beyond hope.)
The terms "aiding and abetting" and "criminal facilitation" come to mind...........

If Mario Hernandez wanted to help the poor people in Mexico,
he would work to overturn the 70 year reign of terror by the
socialist government and return the country to the Mexican people.
If there was freedom and liberty in Mexico, the people would prosper
and (This family is looking to improve the lives of their children.")
there would be no need to illegally invade the United States
and use economic terrorism by stealing our tax dollars.
The only arrogant use of power is by the Mexican Government in
keeping the Mexican people in poverty and using them as human
fodder in their subrosa invasion of the United States.
I support my congressman 100% in this matter; I also contribute to his re-election.
If you want to support Tom in this matter, contribute to his re-election campaign at

I think the US federal crime-facilitating, Matricula-issuing Consulate of the Republic of Mexico in Denver (I am sure they have a website or e mail) deserves an e- mail freep. This is clearly an interference in the internal federal law affairs of the United States of America. Those comments by Consulate Staff are OUTRAGEOUS, and show a lot of nerve and the heigth of an assumed entitlement to things people are not entitled. I can never in my mind imagine any country, including for example the US, having a American consulate overseas issue a message towards the officials of their host countries when/if an American citizen were to be found there outside of his/her status, without a valid visa, on behalf of the offender, if deportation was to occur.
And particularly, Mr. Hernandez should be the recipient of these freepmails.
Keep it civil but firm, folks. They are foreign officials. But they are also interfering in US Immigration law and act as if they own the place.
Tancredo presses to deport student -- Teen here illegally is 'brazen' to seek aid, lawmaker says
