Mother who sold tamales outside Walmart on Florin Road faces deportation
The Modesto Bee ^ | Jul. 19, 2012 | Stephen Magagnini

For two years, Juana Reyes helped feed her two small children and pay her rent by selling tamales at the Walmart Supercenter parking lot on Florin Road. Now the undocumented single mom faces possible deportation for peddling her chicken, pork and chili cheese tamales. Reyes was arrested for trespassing June 28 after the store's security guard and Sacramento County sheriff's deputies said they repeatedly told her to take her tamales elsewhere. Reyes spent 12 days in the Sacramento County jail until the trespass charge was dropped, said her lawyer, Julia Vera, and her children – Cesar Cuesta, 10, and Monserrat Cuesta, 7 – were put in foster care during that time.

Common sense would dictate, WalMart or any other major box retail store, do not want food vendors, selling your products on their premises.She is selling food without any inspections for sanitation and food safety by dept of health.

If she had respect for our laws she wouldn’t have come here illegally in the first place. Why should she follow any of our laws? Right?

Yeah, we’re thrilled to have her - and the over billion others who would like to live here if they were willing the cheat the way she cheats.

Aye caramba! Mamacita! Looks like she made a pest of herself despite being warned multiple times. Should have stayed in Mehico

No she faces deportation for breaking our laws by entering the country illegally NOT for peddling her chicken, pork and chili cheese tamales.

Give me a break. She's not being deported for selling tamales. She's being deported because she's here illegally.

And I thought only Arizona law enforcement asked people about their immigration status. How could California do this to one of their "guests"?

Made in her kitchen bypassing all business and sanitary laws. You and me try this stunt and we get a $500 ticket

She can go back to Mexico and sell tamales, there. She should consider herself lucky to have gained the experience, here. Adios, tamale mama.

What about the fact all food sellers must be licensed and their establishments inspected by the Board Of Health? What would happen if the stuff she was selling was tainted?

You can bet the hand wringers and sob sisters won’t mention this as they go about their latest rant.

Stephen Magagnini is not telling the truth:

Now the undocumented single mom faces possible deportation for peddling her chicken, pork and chili cheese tamales.

No, the illegal alien faces possible deportation for entering these United States illegally.

Laws are for American citizens only. How much you want to bet she is collecting welfare and lives in section 8 housing, free health care.

If a serial killer was pulled over for rolling through a stop sign, the cops found 12 heads of his victims in plain sight in the back seat of his car, and he was convicted and sentenced to death, would the writer say he was “excuted for rolling through a stop sign”?

If she only has a $15 profit from selling the tamales, you can bet on it that she is getting welfare and other freebies.

The next thing will be a mamacita going in the public restrooms and removing the toilet paper, then sitting on the ground outside and selling it to people for a nickle a square. I saw this practice in Cancun. Welcome to the turd world!

And see the thread on the US federal agency working hard with their Mexican counterparts to educate Mexicans here illegally on food stamps: your tax dollars—and soon, penalties we will pay for failing to buy what the government has ordered us to buy—hard at work supporting foreign lawbreakers who don’t worry about health insurance.

Common sense...

I used to feel sorry for people like this. "They're just trying to feed their family", "why punish the children", etc etc etc, take a rationalization and spin it however you'd like...

Then, I had an epiphany.

If *I* committed a felony of any sort, the judge would throw the book at me. And to heck with whether or not I had kids, and if my family would suffer any hardship. Incredibly sympathetic articles like this would NOT be written about my plight, and community activists would not use pictures of me and (more likely) my kids to foment trouble.

"Too bad, WBill. Guess you should have obeyed the law.", or somesuch, would be the general opinion.

So....to people like Ms Reyes (no mention of a "Mr.", at least not in the excerpt), I am generally without sympathy anymore.

Tens of millions of legal and illegal immigrants and minorities (and smaller number of whites) earn lots of off the books cash money while sucking off our social welfare system. Paying taxes is for suckers and white people, with lots of overlap there.

Blatant Media Lie:

Now the undocumented single mom faces possible deportation for peddling her chicken, pork and chili cheese tamales.

Not true.

If she does face deportation it is for breaking our immigration laws by entering the US illegally and remaining here illegally.
