Manuel Antonio Cano Pacheco should have graduated high school in Des Moines last month. The oldest of four siblings should have walked across a stage in a cap and gown to become a proud symbol to his sister and brothers of the rewards of hard work and education.

Instead, Manuel died a brutal death alone in a foreign land, a symbol of gang supremacy in a country plagued by violent drug cartels. It happened three weeks after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement returned him to Mexico, a country he had left at age 3 when his parents brought him here without a visa.

The fact that America was the only home he has known made Manuel eligible to apply for and be granted DACA status under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program initiated by former President Barack Obama. It exempted from deportation certain young people, referred to as DREAMERS, who were brought to the U.S. without papers as children.

Sad that I living one of the darkest period of our country in modern age. What have Americans become. So much hatred for the others that they are not moved by such heart wrenching outcomes which are preventable.

This is dramatic, so why are you joking?

Obama deported 4 MILLION immigrants and you didn't give a damn.

How many are dead?

You forgot to post the part in the article where he requested to leave.

You both forgot to note (it's in the Post article) that he left voluntarily because voluntary departure means the person can possibly re-enter the US later; deportees cannot do that. He was trying to preserve his ability to try to return to the US--the only country he knew as home and the only country in which he had any support system, contacts, and a place in a training program to better himself (he had been accepted, with a scholarship, for a car mechanic training program). Yeah, he was busted on very minor charges, charges that I'd bet plenty of DCUM posters' teen kids have on their records.

When you apply for DACA you are told the rules. One of the rules are you can not be convicted of a crime or you will not be accepted. Knowing this, he committed a crime, got caught, and was convicted. It is really tough to feel sorry for him.
The point of DACA is to say, the rules were broken to get you here, but we can forgive that, just do not break more rules. He ignored that. He was given a 2nd chance and ruined it.

That's your decision.

Do you have teenagers? Do you know any teenagers?

I had teenagers, and they knew the rules. There were consequences when they broke them. This guy knew there were severe consequences and did not care. If he did not care, why should I?

It does not matter if you think the crimes he committed were small ones, he was told do A and B happens. he chose to still do A.

Adopt the repeated drug offender? Good luck with that.

I hope Mexican police will find and punish those who killed this young Mexican citizen.

Um, no none of my teens or older children have these charges or any others.

Stop excusing lawbreaking.

Excusing it? Which has more value to the world? A skilled car mechanic or another victim of the drug cartels in northern Mexico?

It is quite sad that he was killed.
He was not a skilled car mechanic. He had plans to go to mechanic school. There is a difference--and it really has nothing to do with the story.
He had been busted for drugs earlier in the US. I have no idea why the drug cartel went after him.
He was driving under the influence. He could have killed someone.

Good mechanics are hard to come by, but he was not yet one. He chose a different path.

It was not a joke nor poor taste, this is how the law works. He was born in Mexico and was a Mexican citizen by only citizenship that he had.

That is not how the law works in Mexico.
