Witness - Family Torn Apart - 12 Feb 09 - Part 1

They should have thought this out better. Had they sold the house and moved to Mexico, the girls could have simply gone to school and finished High School in Mexico, bought a cheaper home in Mexico and saved the rest of the money for the girl's educations. They would have had the same opportunities and would have profited at the same time.

" If I moved to another country, I would definitely follow the government rules and regulations" Why did this not apply to Europeans? It woud be like blacks taking over Germany and calling the whites foreigners.

[Blazeddaze]

Fuck illegal immagrents. they dont pay taxes but they don't have a problem using our shit. fuck thisssss shiiit.

[cinesimonj]

The US throwing taxpayers out - and supporters of such, like the ignorant folk commenting here who seem to think that all illegals are leeches on the system(the classic ignorance of very sheltered Americans)claim it's about the law.

No, kiddies - it's about politics and the bigotry-driven ignorance of certain constituencies.

[cinesimonj]

@Stella77985 Because America is ALL about respect!

SO naive.

[lnb252]

@lrmis11111 not in mexico

[kirmour]

I feel sorry for you girl, but you are actually lucky, you shouldn't be complaining, you could go live with your parents but you dont want to because you want a better life at a materialistic level. Just think, if US govt allowed all illegal immigrants to stay on just because they have legal US citizen kids, wow, the whole world would want to come give birth in US ;-)

It is a sorry situation, but US Govt cant be blamed, in fact, it is very sweet that the State supports these kids.

[vhalim2000]

Well no choice, each country has each own system to crack down illegal immigrants.

[VenusBlue4u]

They are breaking the law and they know it. They knew it when they had kids in an illegal situation and they knew it could ultimatley affect those kids.

The law is the kids go back with their parents and they can apply for citizenship when their 21. The US needs to do something about overpopulation, this economy can't take anymore and the US citizens are paying the price. We're having our resources taken away from us and for what? We don't owe those people nothing. Why the guilt trip?

[lnb252]

@VenusBlue4u it would be alright if they were all white

[cinesimonj]

@VenusBlue4u That is so ignorant.

The US economy benefits from more people - the fact you think they're all leeches shows just how little you bother to understand the issue.

[MissHernandezzz]

Yeahh, I agree. I personally know Leslie too. She was my best friend in high school. &It's heartbreaking she had to leave her education and her bright future, for this. Neither her or her family deserves this. &She's working hard and she's being strong and I am so proud of her for that!!

[DAT573]

They can always reunite in their

country of orgin.

USA government has the right

to decide who stays, who goes,

just like Mexico or any other country

does.

[erzebetb]

while this is very sad for the children, their parents were here for 20 years!! they couldn't become LEGAL citizens in that time? i think they should have been sent back, that's ridiculous. although the kids are technically american citizens, they are also minors, and should've gone back with their parents until they are 21. then they could come back here if they chose to, since they are citizens. problem solved. illegals have nerve protesting treatment!! go home! or be legal!!!!

[TaskiyahEmaani]

i wouldnt bet on it, obama is a flip-flopper and when time comes he'll show himself to be another george bush.

i hope this girl and her family get through all this trouble and become a united family once again.

[MrPotatoesLatkie]

I wonder what would happen if millions of Palestinians decided to forget their desire to live in a Palestinian state and, move in large numbers to Saudi Arabia? I'll bet the Saudi's wouldn't be so accomodating. It's sad what immigrants have to go through. Perhaps gang members and, real criminals should be deported and, these people should be given some type of green card and, allowed to stay?

[umalim]

but then the kids were born in usa

its not simple to leave ur home

[0720541589]

Hey I have an idea. can't we start forming our own country where we can allow these kids and their families to live in peace? I am just looking for the land and I will soon start a facebook group inviting people to move to this new country.

[FATBOITHEREAL]

i think mexicans should be allowed to come here legally and have children but they r too too many that come here illegally and they never get deported they need a revolution in their own country. they get exploited here too they r going too add to the problem we already face in our country

[valken666]

Sorry but where is the injustice in this video?

[NewLemurian]

I'm so sick of seeing mexicans protesting someone come and solve this dam problem

[GaryNull]

She said the magic words "they stayed here illegally".

Fuck em'. Move back to Mexico.

They come here and get free medical and send their money back home.

They waste the courts time too at tax payers expense.

Fuck these sob stories. How about all the legal American tax payers that are suffering. Fuck these people.

And this stupid girl is pregnant now too?

She's trying to make people feel sorry for her. Fuck her and her family.

GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE COUNTRY

[antitrnd]

What I suggest is that we allow illegals with a clean criminal record that are established community members to apply for legal citizenship rather than simply deporting on a whim. If they have a criminal record or aren't making an active effort to be integrated as part of our established society, that's a different matter entirely. I don't know about you, but mass roundups and forced deportation aren't what I want my country to stand for.

[covertcovenant]

Sounds like the right thing to do....no telling why folks are not applying this strategy?

[hajqbvii]

Now we're like Israel!

[ourfacebook]

please stay strong and take care of your brother and sister ... there is light at the end of the tunnel.

may god help you through this dark moments

[TaskiyahEmaani]

so sad, this made me so close to crying my eyes out. i cant believe that a government who prides itself on justice and freedom for people can seperate little children from their parents like that.

i wish the best for this family and i hope such an occurance will never happen to anyone else.

[negkreyol21]

in florda it was the same too a woman from my church was caught at work by immigration and deported back too haiti while her child was at work

[negkreyol21]

i met school
