"There's no father either.

Wonder what happened to him? Probably with the Taliban.

Just what this country needs. A single muslim mom. Better her but got shipped back to Venezuela with her kids to be with her Venezuelan-Muslim parents.

I heard her lawyer on the radio saying her client was not a criminal or a flight risk..of coarse she is a criminal or we wouldn't be having deportation hearings and no she really isn't a flight risk she wants to stay in America. Boot her and her dimwitted lawyer out.

Why wasn't she deported long before now?

She's leaving the kids here as an PR strategy.

Using the four kids as Muslim anchor babies.

We'll see if the rule of law will actually prevail here. Looks like the judges don't want to do their lawful duty to uphold the laws of this country.

Just another example of the soft headed officials refusal to enforce our immigration laws.

It was reported on a Cleveland news station the husband was previously deported for welfare fraud.

She had overstayed a visitor's visa by a dozen years and was ordered out of the country.

Good.
It would be nice if this might have been caught.. oh, say a dozen years back.

When she was 20, she married a local Arab man who she said beat her. They soon divorced.

Silmi's second husband was deported to Palestine in December, after being convicted of trafficking in food stamps, activity that occurred before he and Silmi met.

It seems that not only American born women are loser magnets.

The big problem is that the US automatically grants citizenship to anyone born here, even if their mother is an illegal alien at the time.

If she is not linked to terrorism and she wants to stay in the US, put her on probation [with respect to immigration status], let her work, and care for her children.

I think you are wrong here. She did what she thought was best for her kids. I can't see ANYONE taking their children to Venezuela with them when they had no job and no place to go once they got there when there was another alternative. Would you?

Deport her along with her little future jihadists. She had no business "settling" in this country amongst the infidels to begin with. It's amazing -- those Muslims are swarming everywhere.

She is hoping that, with all the kowtowing this administration has done to Islam, to use this issue to weaken the judges' resolve. I don't think that this 'leaking' of the story into the press is any accident either.

The law is the law. She had plenty of opportunity to make application for legal status.

The White House says she is eligible for Social Security!

Yes, she has. No excuse for not doing it. Except that she knew that there was really no need to go through the hassle and paperwork since for the past 12 years or so the pols have pretty much ignored the immigration laws.

Why do it when the chances are slim that you will be caught and deported? Bringing attention to one's self is risky when you are illegal.

Not trying to justify her decision, just trying to understand why she did wat she did.

Agreed. I've said this for years. The child's status should reflect the status of the parents. Here legally, citizen; not here legally (visa expired, entered illegally, whatever voids legal status), then illegal and sent packing with the parent(s).

Single mother. Illegal alien. Food stamps and welfare. Muslim. First husband was an Arab wife-beater. Second husband was a pally criminal.

And yet she gets a chance to plead her case.....

Why do I work and pay taxes? Anyone?....

A nice, shiny quarter to whoever can tell me what good it is to try to be an example to my kids by working and paying taxes.

What do I have to gain by working my ass off while leeches like this have the world given to them?
