RE:”One of the undocumented immigrants who died in a stifling tractor-trailer here Saturday was a 19-year-old who grew up in Northern Virginia and graduated from a Fairfax County high school before getting in trouble with the law and being deported to his native Guatemala, according to court records and government officials.
He was sneaking back into the United States.
.....and was deported on March 2 after being convicted of assault and battery by a mob, and grand larceny­/pickpocketing, in March 2016. He was suspected of having ties to Mara Salvatrucha, the deadly street gang also known as MS-13. “

Undocumented Tear jerker ping!

What kind of country have we become to deport such a fine human being?

At the link it gives some of the comments on facebook like this:"“He brought so much positivity to so many people,” said Kelly Barrios-Mazariegos, who grew up with Fuentes and attended high school with him. “Every time you would tell him there was a problem or something, he would giggle, and he would say we would figure it out.”

Once they crossed the border illegally, they had no way to “regularize” their situation.
Ignore the proper path and you are an illegal alien, once an illegal alien you cannot become a permanent legal resident.
You must apply in your home country and wait your turn.
That is why our Senators are so insistent on an amnesty.

Hmm, Bad parenting...

So if a 19year old dies because he was in a car with his drunk parent do we blame the people who made the booze or the parent who drank the booze then stupidly drove while drunk?

A Lion’s share of the blame lies with the parents.

Don’t blame the lawful citizen or the country which wants to enforce it’s laws.

Kelly Barrios-Mazariegos says on facebook that she misses him.

Hat tip to Steely Dan:

“Hey 19....
No you can’t jump the border.
No you can’t work at all.
ICE take him away to the Rio Grande....”

[ Not one penny of taxpayer money should go to the medical bills of these invaders. If the hospitals have to take them, as per our stupid laws, give them two aspirins and call ICE to pick them up. They have no business breaking our laws and disrespecting our country. ]

Why we are not billing their country of origin is beyond me...

It says he got in trouble with the law before he was deported. That made him a criminal illegal, a priority for deportation. If he had stayed clean he’d still be alive. His crime ultimately did not pay.

[Leep]

So, his parents criminal acts led to their own son’s needless death..?

[No Socialist]

So we’re supposed to feel sorry that an illegal immigrant who was a gang member died trying to break more laws by sneaking into this country?

Guatemala should have done a better job taking care of their criminal citizen.

Poor little MS13 gang member./s

[Rusty0604]

Poorly structured sentence, but I think he was part of the mob.

“He was brought to Virginia as a toddler, deported at 19. He died in an overheated tractor-trailer trying to return.”

As we used to say back in the Cold War:

You know what they say about that in Russia? Toughsky shitsky.

[Buckeye McFrog]

so.....who put a gun to his head and forced him to come back?

[JME_FAN]

If he had not tried to sneak back into to our country, he might still be alive. Stupid is as stupid does.

DEMS da breaks

DEPORT DEPORT DEPORT

I wonder if Kelly Barrios-Mazariegos is an illegal alien as well.

[faucetman]

“A mob convicted him? I would have guessed it was a jury, but mob justice is sometimes necessary.” /s

There, fixed it.

You ALWAYS need a sarc tag.
