The fact of the matter is, I do not think they should be allowed to come back at all, but it's allowed by law.

The waiting period they have to go through is dependent on quite a few things, but it's a very costly and time-consuming process.

The big question is why should people be rewarded for breaking the law and be given things our citizens don’t get? This is the answer. They shouldn’t.

So they broke federal laws and used our resources to stay?
And, weirdly knew exactly where to locate to, to be able to keep skimming

She brought her illegal litter of chirrun there in a vehicle. It was abandoned so they could go home. I imagine it will be auctioned to cover the burden of getting them home.

They walked here and are flying home. Living the dream.

We should absolutely treat them with respect and dignity. Then we can ship them back to their home country. Their home country needs them more than we do.

Ultimately, most of the people like her are mere pawns in the bigger political game that’s been taking place in these years.

If I were living in another country, perhaps struggling to make it and listening to various NGOs and officials from one of the major political parties encouraging and incentivizing me to make my way to the United States, I’d probably be inclined to be rushing up here too.

It’s the Democratic Party that ultimately created these situations and they were doing it for their own political benefit and avenues for grabbing and maintaining political power.

Good. She's Venezuelan. If she wants to move to the USA, apply for it like everybody else is supposed to.

Illegal Immigration has been a bipartisan effort going all the way back to 1980.

The loss of a primary source of income, coupled with the federal government’s efforts to keep many immigrants indefinitely detained, has spurred families like Cecilia’s — and detainees like her husband — to stop fighting and leave the country. They’ve given up on asylum cases or other legal defenses in favor of a swift release from detention and from financial collapse.

An unprecedented number have asked to leave while in detention, while tens of thousands more have, like Cecilia, signed up to leave in exchange for a promise of cash and a flight home. Many more have simply left on their own, immigration advocates say.

^^^ THIS ^^^ is called "winning".

I'm certain that Cubs is in shambles.

Its a small town so they need to protect the family's identity, do you think they did a good job?

-The Denver Post is identifying Cecilia by her middle name.
-Her husband, Ronald and is identifying him by his first name.
-her three children — ages 12, 9 and 6
-seven months pregnant.

Fact and agree 100%.

Our system is so broken it can never be fixed.

Our economy actually is propped up by the graft, grift and corruption.

Centennial is not a small town. It is a suburb of Denver
