Undocumented*Mother of 4 Seeks Refuge in*Connecticut Church to Avoid Deportation

This is happening in my home state. It even got the governor involved. She is hiding inside a church. She has lived here for 24 years.

Does anyone know what she did to end up having checking with ice every year?

She signed a voluntary departure order , like 19 years ago and did not leave. Automatically became an order of removal.

Like I most cases, she probably had no idea what she was signing. It does not make it right for her to be separated from her family. I can't imagine the pain her kids must be going through.

We have to stop justifying ignorance.

Honestly, what are you doing here?

Nah, I disagree because this issue is entiry subjective. For example you can say if a parent was truly separated from their children then they would take them with them no matter what circumstance it's parental insticts. If you were a parent, why would you abandon your child regardless if the living conditions are good or not? It's not like they're forced to leave them alone.

So let me get this straight, you guys want sympathy from congress to avoid deportation but there is no sympathy for this mother of 4 who is most likely going to get deported and be separated from her family? Oh the irony! The mentality that some so called "dreamers" have here disgust me. So because you got yours screw the rest and let's deport everyone right? Hypocrites!

This mother has been in this country probably longer than any of us, has no criminal convictions, paid her taxes, and was contributing into the economy but somehow some people here think is ok for her to be deported and applaud her deportation? Maybe one day you'll be at the other end and know how it feels like to be separated from a loved one.

I'm not a DREAMer lol I'm a us citizen. Only reason I'm here is because I support the Dream act because it would benefit my girlfriend who was fucked over by her parents due to this shit and many of my close friends. I do not support amnesty to people who were willing to break the laws, just the dreamers, I'm sorry though.

And yes I do know what it feels like being separated from a loved one considering that my father was locked up for 5 years.

Whether your a dreamer or not believe in Karma buddy and let's hope you don't get separated from your girlfriend because then you'll have the same feeling this family is going through. Karma has a way of striking back whether you have papers or not. I can respect your opinion, but this about being passionate and having a heart. No one is saying hand out papers for everyone, all I'm saying is have a damn heart.

If she goes back, I'll go back with her and yes I have gone through the feeling that the family is going through because like I said my dad was locked up for 5 years when I was only 12.

(edit: I respect your opinion as well but to me, empathy and a respect for the law are not mutually exclusive, even if they conflict.)
