Activists have targeted the privately run detention center and had held up Pedro as an example of the kind of good person-pot convictions-there was a misdemeanor charge of theft-"I don't remember doing it," he said, right -

And this A police officer met them at the scene and said Pedro had hit a man. It was a cyclist, a physician training for a triathlon. The man had cuts and bruises, and what his lawyer, Edward J. Falcone, would later describe as a "fairly significant" head injury. (Falcone says the cyclist has ongoing neck and shoulder pain.)

Emily told her lawyer that the incident wasn't as bad as it sounded.-Unbelieveable

Number one problem in America: Jobs.
Number one cause of the problem: Illegal immigration.

Proposed solution: Get Pedro out of jail and back to work!!!

Oh, the humanity of it all!

My bleeding heart just continues to weep. Where can I donate to this poor chap? Or should I simply send a check to the Kansas City Star for their wonderful reporting? (Barf)

So !@#$%^ tired of these sob stories. Multiple arrests, but he’s not a criminal. And the article says his mother left the US — where did she go? Back to Guatemala, maybe? Then he has family there to stay with...go on back home. And then we bill Guatemala for the cost of his public education and court costs associated with all of his arrests and court time.

The guy has been in trouble with the law at least five times, doesn't pay his taxes and doesn't work, but lives off a US citizen.

If he's not deportable, no one is.

This HUGH and SERIES. Ya’ll shouldn’t make fun of poor Pedro.

[MEGoody]

Oh puhleeze. If “Pedro” had truly reformed, he would have self-deported and taken his family with him. Then, he could have applied to enter the country LEGALLY. All this article proves is that Pedro is as much a law breaker as he ever was.

Ping!

And she had formed alliances with the South's small group of pro-immigrant activists, the Mennonites and liberation theology types with their earnest bumper stickers and their belief - inspiring to some, naive to others - in a justice that transcends borders.

Van Jones and his band of anarchists have suckered another one.

This “Pedro” sure doesn’t seem like a Dream Act student to me. I guess we are not allowed to deport anyone. That’s the goal of the immigration nut jobs and Hispanic pressure groups.

[greatplains]

Wah effing wah. I have an idea - they can keep the family together - in Guatemala!!! These sappy stories make me want to throw up.

Emily's mother, Pamela Alberda, brought out a bag of turkey sandwiches from her boyfriend's house.

I can't help wondering what this is all about.
Is that "couple" also gaming the system?

Not a hint whatsoever of how much welfare this extended "family" is stealing from the American taxpayer.
