However, if her parents had only recently slipped over the border from Mexico and her father was a member of La Raza I doubt she would be deported especially if she was a registered Democrat and avid Obama supporter. I blame the parents. When her father somehow got legal resident status you would think he would have done so or attempted to for his kids. If he could get legal status why not his kids?
she has been here since four.
THERE IS A 10 YEAR ROLLING AMNESTY program which is already law and allows for just this situation.
THE LAWYER SCREWED up the case and now is whoring to the media to save the case.
remember
immigration application => immigration judge = immigration appeal court => Federal District Court => Federal Appelate District Court => United States Suprem Court.
custody follows the parents. She must no longer be a minor.
