“Students Fight classmate Deportation order”
.
More than 2,000 classmates of a North Miami High School valedictorian facing deportation held a protest Friday morning to support her staying in the country.
An immigration judge on Monday ordered the deportation of 18-year-old Daniela Pelaez, who was brought illegally to the United States by her parents when she was 4 years old.
"I just want to go to college and be a heart surgeon, live the American dream I know I deserve," Pelaez said.
Pelaez left Colombia in 1998 with her parents, who entered the United States illegally and divorced before Pelaez could become a citizen. Her mother then remarried a Cuban national who was eligible for the Cuban Adjustment Act but before the process was complete, her mother went back to Colombia for medical treatment.
Common Sense Review
I feel bad for this girl not because she is being deported but that her parents didn’t corrected the immigration problem within the 14 years they have lived in the US. There is a problem here even if they allow her to stay and she goes to school, she still doesn’t have a social security number so she can get a job.
The article talks about how her parents divorced. Well if her parent were married in Columbia, how can they be legally divorced in the US, then how can she get remarried. The step father qualified to be apart of the visa lottery offered by the Cuban Adjustment Act. Still not a legal citizen.
Those who break our laws still have to be penalized even though they are good in this aspect… Illegal is illegal…
