Please describe why it is great news. You're confirming what I thought about this case, that the people dwelling on it are the ones who already wanted all of the undocumented out in the first place. A majority of Americans actually support a path to citizenship.


DP here.
We have no idea if this person has broken other laws. He was arrested for illegal entry. He is clearly not a “dreamer.”
He reportedly paid to have his son (who was accused of rape) fly from the south (Texas, I believe) to MD. So, he evidently has money or access to it.
Is he working here illegally? Has he committed the crime of stolen identity? We don’t know yet. But, I bet the authorities are checking into his background.

As far as I am concerned, if someone entering illegally commits a crime and is convicted of that crime, the entire family who are here illegally should be deported. If people are going to come here illegally, maybe we send the message that committing crimes like rape, or worse, will be severely punished. Perhaps this will be a deterrent, if not a warning that the US will not tolerate this crap.


He aided a criminal by flying him across state boundaries, that is probably why he is being deported


No, *WE* taxpayers flew these illegals across the country:

Montano and Sanchez Milian are illegal immigrants. They're among the beneficiaries of a 2014 executive order from President Obama that has given more than 150,000 unaccompanied minors, mostly from Central America, a free pass when it comes to avoiding deportation, despite entering the country illegally. Border Patrol agents turned them over to the Health and Human Services Department, and HHS arranged for them to fly to Maryland to join relatives there. The Rockville School District enrolled the two in the ninth grade despite their relatively advanced ages, because they spoke no English.


His father paid for the flight. Don't have time to get the link now, but the attorney stated this in an interview.

Also, the perpetrator was 17 at the time he flew. The TSA rules are a bit unclear on the ID requirements for minors who are over 12, but I'm guessing he had his valid Guatemalan passport with him and that qualifies as a valid ID for travel.


And I'm guessing he's IN FACT undocumented, so we don't really know how old they are, do we?

As an ideological matter, I do think that people who do not have legal authorization to be here have committed a crime and should be deported back to their home countries to get in line to immigrate legally. As a practical matter, we have been letting it slide for so long that it's much more complex than just rounding everyone up and sending them away. We really need meaningful reform in this area. I would support a path to citizenship for those who can prove they've been living in this country peacefully and productively for X years (5 years, maybe?). Anyone who cannot prove they have been here that long or have criminal records, etc. can go. From then on, we actually enforce the laws on the books. If the laws we have aren't working, lets change them. This problem has been festering long enough. People either need to be able to obtain legal status or we need to actually deport those who have broken immigration laws. It does not benefit anyone to have this strange gray area.


Where is this "line" that you speak of?

You file your paperwork and then you wait.

From the website you linked:

To be eligible to apply for an immigrant visa, a foreign citizen must be sponsored by a U.S. citizen relative, U.S. lawful permanent resident, or a prospective employer, with a few exceptions, explained below

So no, someone doesn't just file their paperwork and wait. They need to be lucky enough to have a family member who is a citizen or permanent relative, or have a job offer from an employer.

There's a reason for those rules. It's to ensure the safety of the American people and also to ensure that individual isn't a burden to the American people.

That may or may not be true. But it also makes anyone who uses the "get in line" rhetoric an uniformed idiot.

It is common for legal immigrants' family reunion to take up to 5 years., I know that for a fact. Because there a 'line, - immigration services get to the case when they get to it, basically. There are types of visas that are urgent and not urgent, and pretty limited immigrations services workforce. An uniformed idiot is you.

Family is pooling money. Plus the attention the lawyer gets is free advertising, so he's probably not charging illegal immigrants $500/hour.

No, he initially came here illegally.

The attorney would not say who is paying for the defense. All he said was that the family hired him. That doesn’t mean that the family is paying him.
It does make one wonder where the money is coming from ... and if the accused man’s father is paying. Looks like he’ll be paying an attorney of his own now.


It's a violation of attorney-client privilege to state who is paying him -- that's why the attorney didn't say.


Incorrect. Fee payment arrangements typically are not deemed to be a confidential communication subject to protection.

Crossing the border is not a violent crime.

Although Trump said that he is focusing on violent criminals, he is obviously not.


Obviously so - while his #1 priority is to remove criminal aliens as Obama did, he has simply expanded the many priorities for DHS to include aliens with outstanding deportation orders (ie - existing warrants).

But a normal "arrest warrant" has a much lower standard than a final deportation order. An alien with a final order has already had a chance to request relief from DHS. Then they get a full administrative law hearing and appeal rights (provided they show up to court. Many simply ignore it).

Obama ignored final deportation orders. President Trump is simply enforcing existing law.

Poor illegals who can't speak English knew to and managed to call the highest profile criminal defense lawyers in the Beltway? And a trio of money-hungry $500/hr lawyers dropped everything and jumped on TV for them? Remarkable!
