USA Today reports:
Department of Homeland Security has deferred Monday's planned deportation of a 23-year-old Florida honors student who didn't realize until he applied for university that he has been undocumented since he was 3 years old. Walter Lara, who considers himself the "all-American guy next door," came to the United States with his parents 20 years ago. He was supposed to be deported to Argentina, a country he says he knows little about.
“As I look to celebrate Independence Day with family and friends this weekend, I have once again seen what makes America the best country in the world. Americans are fair, just, and kind," Lara said in a statement.
Rep. Corrine Brown, D-Fla., whose office confirmed the DHS decision, and Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., both have intervened on Lara's behalf. The order defers the deportation for one year.
Lara graduated from Miami Dade Honors College with an associate's degree in computer animation. He was arrested in February by immigration agents, The Miami Herald reported. He lives in Orlando with his grandmother, a legal resident, and his 15-year-old sister, who is a citizen, the newspaper reported.

I'm glad the right people intervened. This is such a classic situation of a immigrant child who is caught in the crossfire of citizenship status.
ReplyDeleteDear Dee :
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringiung up the subject of Good High School Students and College Students being deported.
This is the ultimate in Imbecility. Youth is an asset for every nation. Some of these deported students do not even know how to speak Spanish.
Don't You Know that in year 2025, more than half of Americans will be over 50 years old, and the figure of years is larger for the White Population ( average for Whites is 50 Plus x years in 2025 )
So kicking out Youth and Talent is the worst in Imbecility. It is giving a gift of Talent and Power to Latin America and destroying a life, because if even if Latin America is not garbage as some People try to suggest here in this Blog, adapting to a foreign culture for the youngster is very tough.
Great Economists are stunned by such acts of folly as these progroms against Youth.
But when have you seen intelligence in Tom Tancredo ??? in Pat Buchanam ?? Rush Limbaugh ??, Bill O'Idiot ??, Sean HannIdiot ??
They are idiots or perhaps extreme Hypocrite Histrionics that do not believe in the filth and dirt that they preach and that makes them rich in an instant.
This is a problem of Youth and Millennials :

A friend in the Internet said that he was very sad and anguished about his Homosexuality and his Christianity and the Bible then I wrote this furious cannonade :
ReplyDeleteI am Vicente Duque, a Horrible Monster and Atheist - And I despise Religious Control of Politics, And TV Bastards of Hypocrisy
I do not follow my life according to the Code of Hammurabi, 2,000 years before Christ, or the laws of the Hittites, 1400 years before Christ.
The Bible is a compendium of legends, probably written 500 years Before Christ.
I do not have to rule my life by a single book like the Bible or the Coram or Kuram.
Nobody has absolute Truth .. .and God is not so idiotic as presented by Religions, if it really exists ( I doubt it ... so much bastary, cruelty and sadism, and the followers are worse than atheists )
I do not follow the dietary prescriptions and Taboos of Moses in the Desert of Sinai.
The Prescriptions for Priests and Holyness in the Pre Christian Bible are almost Ridiculous in their Primitiveness, like those of Ancient Roman Religion or Greek Religions. And Europe was filled with savages practicing Human Sacrifice to the Gods.
I do not have to rule my life according to Goddess Cybele or Mitra.
If you study the History of Christianity you find the same Rituals of Pagan Religions in the mass, ornaments, pomps, etc .. and many of the same Myths and Mysteries.
And pastors are no better than priests ... they are ever greedier and more exploitative of fools and weaklings.
Some people have to obey a priest or pastor and consult everything in their lives.
It is not necessary to say that I despise all these Bastard Politicians that use Religion to fuel their careers of Hypocrites. Careers filled with lies and Simulated Piety.
And I despise all these Hypocrites of TV that are constantly repeating how Good Christians they are and how Good Patriots. They are also filled with Racism, Hate, Bastardy, Cruelty and Sadism.
