[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone watched this yet? I saw the first two episodes last night and it was heartbreaking, particularly the story of the Marine wife who had been here for 20 years. The ICE drop off also left me speechless. I teared up a few times, perhaps due to pregnancy hormones. [/quote]
I have not seen this
But if you have been here for 20 years and still not sorted out immigration, something is wrong[/quote]

This seems to be a disconnect in a lot of people's minds. (i.e. they should all come here legally). NEWS FLASH - there is no legal option for most of these people. Unless you have a spouse or child in this country who can file an immigration petition these people have no options.

The reason why the wife of the Marine was deported is because she lied to immigration officers when she first tried to enter the country stating she was a citizen when she was not. She was caught and barred from entering the country. She then entered the same way lying to immigration that she was a citizen, but the second time she was successful.  She was most likely caught because she was driving in Florida without a drivers license since undocumented people can't get drivers licences. If she hadn't been caught the first time she had a very good chance of getting a green card when she married her husband, the Marine. So she would have had a legal option. [/quote]
