Here is the caption under a picture in today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The picture shows a middle aged woman presumably saying goodby to her daughters and husband.
"FAMILY SPLIT. Alejandra Juarez, 39, left, says goodbye Friday to her children, Pamela and Estela, at Orlando International Airport in Florida. Ms. Juarez, wife of former Marine Temo Juarez, was self-deporting to Mexico in a move that would split up their family after exhausting all options to stop her deportation. Mr. Juarez is a naturalized citizen. His wife petitioned to become a citizen in 2001, but was rejected because she was accused of making a false statement at the border when she sought asylum in 1998.
Ahem. Where does one start?
"Alejandra Juarez, is FINALLY, after living in this country and enjoying all that the Country has to offer for twenty years, going back to her native Mexico, where she is a citizen and legally permitted to reside. Her case exemplifies the mockery that illegal aliens make of our immigration laws and agencies, who tried for 20 years to enforce laws that are neither complex nor ambiguous. Vaya con Dios, Hermana! Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out, and don't ever darken our door again."

Ahem. Where does one start?
- She was NOT rejected because "she was accused of making a false statement." She was rejected because she LIED WHEN SHE GOT HERE. Had she not lied, this fact surely would have come to light subsequently, in her 20 fucking years of appeals.
- She came here illegally in 1998. IT IS 2018! She has been here for 20 years illegally, and we are supposed to feel sorry for her? Apparently, yes.
- Her daughters are U.S. CITIZENS, arguably because they were born on U.S. soil; that bogus citizenship is based on a horrible mis-reading of six innocuous words in the Fourteenth Amendment ("...and subject to the jurisdiction thereof..."). THERE IS NO OTHER COUNTRY ON EARTH that would grant citizenship to a baby born here to a mother who was in the country illegally. And yet this "birthright citizenship" is apparently as sacrosanct as Fucking Social Security, as not even the staunchest Republican has the balls to suggest that it be changed by legislation (it would NOT require a Constitutional Amendment), as it so manifestly needs to change.
- This family is not being split up because of the U.S. government. It is being split up because the family CHOOSES to split up.
- I would bet ten thousand dollars to a nickel that this bitch will be back living in the U.S. within a year.
