Why is everyone so concerned about this chick?  She'll probably get an honorary doctorate out of the whole ordeal.  Dr Lucia!

They also can't fly without risk of being detained and/or deported.  But at least you admit that she knew she was an illegal alien.  I had heard she was well aware of the deportation order, but can't find the link.  All of the MSM links are about the poor 19 year old going to visit her family for Thanksgiving.  They don't seem to be reporting on why a 7 year old was given a deportation order by the Biden admin.

This is an example of the feminization of our legal system.  We are slowly transitioning from the rule of law to whatever touchy/feely decision meets the revolution's cause du jour.  But you think a redneck with a fake gallows is a bigger threat to our democracy.   

Oh come on skids.  You read one crackpot article about feminization and start repeating it.

First I'm not admitted she knew she was illegal, I'm assuming.  The parents claim that they didn't know.  I don't know how you don't know.  I don't know why she would fly if she knew, but whatever.

The point that you miss is that these are not the type of people who should want removed from our country.  They are actually the type of people we want in this country.

And yes, it is without question that she is less of a threat to our democracy than a Jan 6er.  Happy to debate you on this all day.  Hilarious that you tried to compare the two.

Obama, not Biden.  I think it’s a pretty safe bet the deportation wasn’t because of something a 7 year old did…So at the time a deportation order made sense if they were trying to get the whole family out.  But at this point she’s an adult and seems to be likely to be a contributor to society.

Meh...Don't care. If she's that great, let her contribute to her home country, that appears to need it more.  I would rather an American born had her spot.  

These little one off stories are funny.   Are pro removal of illegals supposed to say  "Holy cow!!!   Stop deporting now!" because of this?  Nope.   Keep shipping them out.  Sometimes dolphins get caught in the tuna nets.

They know she (and almost guaranteed, the parents as well) is illegal.  They’re claiming they didn’t know she had a deportation order.   I would assume the family has one as well if she does.

College Student Is Deported During Trip Home for Thanksgiving

[...]

Ms. López’s lawyer, Todd Pomerleau, described an opaque process for obtaining information about her case, including the grounds for her deportation. 

He said she had been deported in violation of a court order that a federal judge signed on Nov. 21 that said Ms. López could not be removed from the United States while her case was pending.

Any proof that she cost an American born the spot at this college? You don't usually hear that claim about students from foreign countries who are accepted at most major univesities.

Article in local paper.   Detained on a Thursday, was already deported by the time her lawyer could reach her on Monday, the lawyer claims ICE “impeded his attempts to communicate with her” until after she was already deported.

Trump deports this instead of deporting the Afghani who goes on to shoot two National Guardsmen.

Once again, MAGA doesn't like educated women.

Yes.  People not here legally shouldn't enjoy the same privileges as people who are here legally.  Not sure why you keep posting this like it matters.

It does, although Trump wants to end birthright citizenship and some folks in this forum agree with that. 

[nobody 2,910]

The wokies want everyone to stop and reflect on how good we have it being born in the US.  I have that right?

And, further, is it the wokie perspective that HauckTuah's continued assertion that being a US citizen = privilege was to remind everyone to pause and reflect on how great being a US citizen is?

I’m saying the common refrain when discussing privilege in other threads is something to the effect of that people need to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” or whatever.   But in cases like this, they have no opportunity to do that, the privilege is based solely on where they happened to be born.   And again, I get deporting people that intentionally entered illegally.  And I get deporting minor children if their parents are also illegal.  But deporting an adult who’s been here for over a decade and was brought here by her parents at 7 years old seems a bit much.  Assuming she has no criminal record of course, I know that is not confirmed.

It’s ironic that the “deport all illegals” crowd also thinks privilege doesn’t exist.   Doesn’t get much more privileged than having more rights simply based on where you were born.  A kid that was brought here by someone else when she was 7 years old didn’t do anything wrong in coming here.

nope. she didn't.  unfortunately her parents did. it's a shame but it doesn't make it any less true

one doesn't really have anything to do with the other. it's entirely possible to feel that people should take accountability and "pull themselves up by their bootstraps", as it pertains to our own citizens, and also feel that people should follow the legal processes.  Im not necessarily going to advocate for specifically deporting people like the one in this story, but the notion that she CANT be deported because she was 7 and not responsible for what her parents did in bringing her here is silly. Blame the parents. 

And yes, there is obviously some privilege for where people are born. Welcome to the world.  Everyone, in every country can "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" as you say.

any proof that she didn't?  logic would say she did, as most universities accept a certain number of students each year, not everyone who applies.  It's almost like saying a trans wouldn't be taking a roster spot on the girls basketball team from a cisgender female

And I didn’t say she “can’t” be deported.  The government may not have done anything wrong if she had a valid order of removal.  Although the lawyer does claim they did other things wrong like “impeding” him from speaking with her or allegedly not showing her the deportation order when she was detained.

sorry, I should have said SHOULDNT, as it sounds like you are insinuating that she shouldn't be deported because she was brought here at the age of 7 and had no control over that. Hence why I said blame the parents. 

[nobody 2,910]

I'd have to personally interview her to know if she should stay.  

But I bet she's like all the rest and still reps for the country they don't want to live in.  And she's doing the US more good by getting deported.  We need all those that would enter illegally to know ICE will pull you right off out of class and send you back so best not even cross over unless you're willing to follow the law.
