Much ado about nothing. She won't be deported and would not have been deported. But, this makes a good story.

I have a friend--an American who was born in Japan to American parents (Dad was stationed there in military.) Somehow, the military or embassy failed to register her birth (military hospital) properly. She and her sister had to go through some kind of citizenship process after they returned. She is now in her '70's.

But, this story sounds like Dad dropped the ball.


Yes, but she doesn't deserve to pay the price.


Exactly, the laws have been changed so that adoptees can no longer slip through the cracks like this, but she was adopted before that time. Needless to say some adoptive parents are negligent.

This is not limited to immigration stories.

A co-worker's brother and his wife adopted a child as an infant. One year for adoption to become final. Great-grandmother decided she wanted the child. She got him--devastating to the couple. The law in that state gave family members priority--which, on its face is reasonable. But, a year later? Just sad.

Really PP? What does this have to do with our government attempting to deport a fifty year old woman who was internationally adopted at birth and the adopted parents failed to get her naturalized citizenship.

Yes, sad after one year. But this woman has been here for half a century and they want to deport her.

Clearly. So deport her?

This poster is a perfect example of the kind of ignorance you need to keep supporting Trump. They don’t even have the simplest concept of not everything being black or white.

lol, is this a joke?

She was brought to this country as a baby by her AMERICAN adoptive parents. She’s lived here for half a century. She has NO criminal record. She is a practicing Christian (the religion of her adoptive parents). The last time she was in Iran, she was a baby. She doesn’t speak their language. She doesn’t practice their religion. She doesn’t know their culture. She is 100% American. Deporting someone like her is utterly ridiculous.


None of that makes her exempt from deportation. There’s many other Illegals of all nationalities that are just like her. She was born in Iran so she’s Iranian. You seem to think Iranians get special privilege to stay in America, by acting American. How can she be American, if she doesn’t even have American citizenship? She can go back to her country, and learn how to be an Iranian, if it doesn’t come natural to her, even though that’s her ethnic roots.


So we are now deporting all kids adopted from overseas?


Overseas adoption of strangers never should have been permitted in the first place. It’s a sick process that is borderline human trafficking.


At least 2 of the current Supreme Court Justices — who adopted children from other countries — might disagree with you.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that your ancestors came over from Europe, because they wanted to venture to new land (that did not belong to them).

Yup. I’m sure PP’s immigrant ancestors had really good sob stories.
