Albany Park resident fights deportation to stay with wife, infant son
Medill Reports ^ | JAN 30, 2014 | KJERSTIN WOOD

Anibal Fuentes Aguilar, an undocumented immigrant, faces the daily fear of leaving his wife and 6-month-old son behind.

“My son, Franky, has acid reflux and needs medicine and care,” Fuentes said last week through an interpreter. “I’m the only one who provides for my wife and my son.”

The 27-year-old Albany Park resident is facing deportation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after a raid on his apartment complex last year, when officers were looking for another person and inquired about Fuentes’ status.

He was told he must voluntarily leave for his native Guatemala by Jan. 31, but was granted a two- to three-week stay on his deportation while Immigration and Customs Enforcement reviews his case for prosecutorial discretion, groups supporting Fuentes announced at a press conference at the Chicago Temple Thursday.

ICE made Fuentes’ deportation a priority because he has a prior deportation on record, Gail Montenegro, public affairs officer for ICE, said by email. He was detained on Dec. 13 and was released from ICE custody Dec. 19 with electronic monitoring.

Fuentes, a day laborer, has worn an ankle bracelet since he was released and attends weekly check-ins with ICE, he said. His prior deportation was when he tried to re-enter the United States after attending his mother’s funeral in Guatemala in 2009.

“I came here to support my family,” Fuentes said through an interpreter last week. “I have no family left in Guatemala.”

“I came here to support my family (a 6 mo old son),” Fuentes told officials in 2014. His prior deportation was when he tried to re-enter the US 2009 after attending his mother’s funeral in Guatemala........he clearly did not have a child back in 2009.....nor earlier, the first time he entered the US illegally...so there was no family to “support”...

The conniver got his signals mixed-----he was prolly claiming children he did not have on EITC forms to suckup US tax dollars.

US authorities need to checkout his paper trail----how much money he wire-transferred to Guatemala......remember, the corrupt govts of these Third World hellholes depend on money their citizens wire back home.....which the illegal intends to live off of later.

REPOST US Dept of the Treasury Says Illegal Aliens Collect Billions in Tax Credits According to the US Dept of Treasury’s Inspector General, more than $4.2 billion in additional child credits were paid out in 2010 to illegal immigrants. In 2005, the payouts totaled $924 million.

This program allows low income earners to claim a $1,000 per child credit. $20 billion EITC is estimated to have been paid out to these cunning "impoverished" illegals.

Most of them are collecting over and over again-----using multiple identities---falsifying official apps---claiming children they do not have and/or falsely stating kids are back in their homelands. The IRS sent $45 Million (32,000 EITC refunds) to illegals at ONE address.

REPOST--Senator Harry Reid Supports Giving Illegal Aliens Tax Credits for Kids Not Even Living in US Townhall.com ^ | October 30, 2013 | Mike Shedlock / FR Posted by Kaslin

US Rep. Sam Johnson, R-Texas, wants to end the practice of giving illegal immigrants tax credits for kids, but U.S. Sen.

Harry Reid, D-Nev., won’t let the House-approved measure H.R. 556 through the Senate. "The System is Working Fine" says Senator Harry Reid, even though the Joint Committee on Taxation calculates that enactment of H.R. 556 would save taxpayers $24.4 billion over the next decade.

The House of Representatives repeatedly has passed an IRS bill that could save U.S. taxpayers up to $24.4 billion over the next 10 years — but Harry Reid’s Democratic Senate will not hear it.

The Refundable Child Tax Credit Eligibility Verification Reform Act, or H.R. 556, would require tax filers to provide Social Security numbers to claim child tax credits.

Currently, the IRS allows undocumented residents to collect the $1,000 credits for dependents not even living in the country.

Watchdog reported that illegal immigrants received $4.2 billion from the tax agency in just one year. “My bill (targets) billions of dollars in waste, fraud and abuse. Instead of hitting up taxpayers for even more taxes, Washington needs to go after these billions of dollars,” said Rep. Johnson, R-Texas.

Though the GOP-controlled House has passed Johnson’s measure three times, Senate Majority Leader Reid, D-Nev., refuses to allow the bill to come up for a vote in his chamber. “The IRS has been doling out the credit to tax filers claiming children who do not even live in the country,” Johnson charged.

His prior deportation was when he tried to re-enter the United States [illegally] after attending his mother’s funeral in Guatemala in 2009.

Well pen day ho, if you had stayed in Guatemala and had a son, what Dr would you go see to treat your six month old son? Seriously, acid reflux in a six month old will likely be gone in less than a year, and we the American taxpayers don't need to be paying his bill.

What’s espanol for “boo-freakin’-hoo?” I’m not responsible for your child’s “acid reflux” (seriously? is that the best you can do?).

Your need doesn’t create an obligation on me.

“I’m the only one who provides for my wife and my son.”

If that is true, Mr. Fuentes, and you are not now and have never been partaking of social services funded by our tax money, if you have obeyed all the other laws outside of the immigration laws and paid your taxes, we will be happy to keep you and your family, PROVIDED: Mexico agrees to take one gangbangin' drugdealin' thug, his babymama and a draft choice to be named later in exchange.

Franky? Really, are we to believe a person who can’t speak English would name their kid Franky. My bet is that the name is used to get sympathy.
