“Ms. Veliz can go back to her country, and then if she feels the need, she can get in line to legally enter the US.”

EXACTLY. Boo-hoo, cry me a f*king river. Do things legally, or get the f**k out.

I’m tired of this BS. It’s a friggin insult to all who came here legally. F*king losers.

A few minutes searching Google shows Benita Veliz has been very active with the National Student Partnership, a group that helps direct clients, like illegals I’m guessing from her comments about her own experiences, to government funded services.

According to one NSP web site including material on Veliz:

http://www.nspnet.org/about/about_volunteers.htm

“Due to her own personal experiences, she [Veliz] has the remarkable ability to relate to her clients and put them at ease. ‘Sometimes clients tell me, “You don’t know how I feel,” but I can honestly say I do...I was there once. Helping someone to realize the value they have as a person, worker, and citizen, is the most rewarding part of client work.’”

NSP press release web site, bunch of typical liberal dem spending and Clinton Global Initiative crap.

http://www.nspnet.org/news/press_release.php

She’s such a star figure the NYT recently used her as an example in the debate over the “DREAM ACt” debate.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/28/opinion/28sat4.html

Such obvious propoganda is annoying. The articles stress her innocence, capabilities and even her religious background in order to make her case palatable to the US public, but ignore her links to liberal dem social spending groups like NSP.

“She works as a secretary for a church and dreams of going to law school.”

Well, this is your fist lesson on the LAW.

Cry me a freakin’ river. Tuggin’ at my heart strings. NOT!

The BTK Killer also was extremely involved in his church; that’s how they caught him.

LAW school? LOL. Guess you don’t have to be LEGAL to go to LAW school.

Ms. Ludwig’s bias is showing. No such thing as an “unauthorized immigrant”...apparently she doesn’t know the difference between an ILLEGAL ALIEN and a LEGAL IMMIGRANT.

Open the article and click on Ms. Ludwig’s name. You can educate her.

My buddy was killed by an illegal immigrant - no visa, no papers, lengthy arrest record.

Send her back.

Anybody want to count how many laws she’s broken and benefits she’s stolen from deserving Americans?

So she’s a secretary at a church. Isn’t that nice. Evidently her church didn’t teach her to be in submission to the authorities over her. She should have been trying to correct her status, and she shouldn’t have been driving without a license. Now she’s boo-hoo-ing and looking for sympathy. Go cry to your lawless parents, honey. They’re the ones who put you in this position. Apparently the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

What I got back...(S.O.P. and get back every time I’ve ever complained to a reporter about their inaccurate terminology)

“Thanks for your feedback on the story Kim, I personally do not have a problem with the term “illegal immigrant” but our editors have chosen the term “unauthorized immigrant” as the style rule that all reporters must follow.
Take care, Melissa

Thanks Kim for today’s lesson in political correctness. Brought to us courtesy of the MSM.

You should ask the MSM if and when they run a story on a rape victim; do they refer to the assailant as an....

Unauthorized Boyfriend?

Why wouldn’t she be a suitable gift to Mexico?

So I wonder who checked her high school transcripts to see if she truly was the ‘star pupil’ she claims to be? Why isn’t such a promising student in college? There are a million government/charity programs to help just such a person as her out.

In January, a police officer stopped her for rolling through a stop sign. Veliz didn’t have a driver’s license or residency documents, and the officer handcuffed her and turned her over to immigration officials.

God bless this officer. In my city--a de facto sanctuary city--they probably would have apologized for inconveniencing her and sped her on her way.

Her hard work paid off with a full scholarship to St. Mary’s University

A scholarship that should have gone to a US CITIZEN and that CITIZEN was denied a college education!!!

"Stay with who?" Veliz said"

This bad grammar from a valedictorian? Shouldn't it be with whom? tsk, tsk

LOL. Alas - a revisionist generation.
