True. And that's a shame. I'd love to see a mechanism in the law to keep the nurse or keep anyone who can demonstrate that they would be an asset to society/are an outstanding person. particularly if they have been here 15 years, are taxpayers and have family here. She can demonstrate that her presence here improves the country. Deport the losers and parasites first. Unless she's a registered Democrat in which case you should disregard everything I said.

Again, how many opportunities has she taken away from an American in those 15 years?

I don't agree but also any law along these lines would be manipulated by dishonest lawyers and judges.

yeah this part I think is just laziness on the family.

My dad has an expired brake tag that's been expired for three years, he knows we he gets caught, he will have to pay a fine.

But somehow, some immigrants think that everything is OK on the immigration front because "nothing has changed" so they just continue to live...without realizing that not following up with shite probably will have serious consequences like she is now going through.

And no you have to go home. Unfortunately I bet my tax dollars paid for her nursing degree. If she took TOPS she should be required to pay it back

One thing people miss is that most were granted TPS status, which was then revoked, but with no accompanying deportation order. Not even a letter. Which gives them a kind of half assed plausible deniability.

If you favor mass deportations you should also favor a letter of deportation, an order of deportation with a specific date, a request/offer to self deport and anything else meant to encourage them to GTFO. Stopping productive people randomly and detaining them for 6 months or a year at taxpayer expense is stupid government incompetency bullshite and expensive as hell.

I favor deportations but at least be competent.

I can see all the compassion & empathy for her & those like her. However, what do we do with the other 10,000,000 + ?

do they not pay attention to the news when TPS status for Honduras was officially ended?

I mean idk if I was in a country under that authority, I think I would pay attention to the news, particularly when a President ran his whole agenda on cracking down on immigration.

and she had missed her hearing.


Every single time.

Last year I had Jury Duty and I put it on my company calendar to remind myself and co-workers not to schedule anything. Somebody deleted it by accident and I forgot to go.

The next morning I freaked out and called and said I’d do whatever was necessary and they said “no worries. We’ll put you on the next docket because you self reported.”

It’s not that hard. None of these people would feel bad for you if you forgot to file your taxes and the IRS came after you.

If I wanted to migrate here, I would do it legally. Millions of others have.

Why is that so hard for folks?

Palacios says she was in the process of renewing her brake tag in South Louisiana when a Louisiana State Trooper ran her identification.

They just gloss over this and make it seem as if she was trying to do what she was supposed to do, but a state trooper caught her and turned her in


“In the process of” is BS her or her lawyer is saying. A brake tag takes literally 5 minutes and state troopers are not involved.

That means she was pulled over for something and likely also had an expired brake tag.

quote:

In a statement, ICE New Orleans said Palacios has been in the U.S. illegally for the past 15 years and that “her family declined to find a way for her to obtain legal status.”

Palacios disputes those claims, citing her parents’ asylum application and their decade-long wait for approval.

Are they also looking to deport the parents? It seems like they also might have immigration issues

No. Not at all. With all the immigration chaos lately, seems she would have been paying very close attention. IMHO

Deport them. Especially those who came in Biden's intentional open border treachery. (Although I would still take the best of these and am way more pro-Immigration than most of you Ol Boys).

But this one here-this Honduran nurse-should get preference because she has been here 15 years and can demonstrate a specific profession that is in demand. There should be a commonsense mechanism for her to appear with her character witnesses in front of an immigration judge, and she should be treated differently from Jose the roofer who came here in 2023 and doesn't speak English and gets paid cash.

I'm not making a case against the Rule of Law. But I am making a MORAL case for leniency based on the spirit of the law and since she was brought over the border as a child. IMHO, there should be room for that.

You Ol Baws are right though, you don't want me as an immigration judge, because I'd be FAR too lenient. I admit it.

Of course. What I'm saying is HOW HALF ASSED OF OUR GOVERNMENT IS IT-that there has been no deportation demand from the US government? Nor have they received any demand to self deport by a certain date. So, these people just stick around and hope not to be detained. And then if ICE gets them the taxpayer has to house and feed them for 6 months a year etc. The whole thing is a monkey fricking a football.
