Too bad.

I’m surprised that the clowns at San Antonio Airport noticed.

He's studying molecular and cellular biology at Harvard and hopes to become a cancer researcher. He said he qualified for Harvard's privately-funded scholarship package.

Just taking the scholarships Americans won't take.

Just think of the kid that did not get into that school, because an illegal alien was admitted.
Luckily, the kid that did not get in was probably liberal, so no harm was done.

A 19-year-old Harvard scholarship student who had been "brought" to the U.S. when he was 4 years old.

Gee, do you suppose that he knew that he was an illegal? And if he did, why the heck didn't he undertake to do something about it - like applying for a visa, the legal way?

I get the impression that this was some sort of government set-up for this person to be the poster boy of immigration enforcement. I hate to be conspiratorial, but I really don't trust the goverment nowadays. Of course, the headlines are aimed at those uninformed citizens to give them the impression that by stifling 3rd world illegal immigration, we are losing out on future Harvard scientists down the road. I would not be surprised if some college classmate of his-who has ties to the Obama adm did not arrange this whole ordeal to happen.

just let me know which laws i have to obey... and those i don’t have to.

does the fact that i’m a white male change which laws i have to obey?

[Leisler]

How about the kid stays but Harvard gets deported?

[Vaduz]

Anchor baby beats law.

I’m sure if he were a C student at a community college, he’d be gone.

Good. We do have something called prosecutorial discretion in this country. It’s why we don’t ticket grandma for jaywalking. Why would we want to give Mexico our cancer scientists?

He could have legally gotten a visa in no time with his circumstances. Why deport him over bureaucracy? This kid made a dumb choice but it looks like he’s on the right track to being a legal student, and we’re better off with him.

Not everything is so black and white.
