After losing DACA and facing deportation, he returned to Mexico. He was killed weeks later.

Mexico was an unfamiliar place for 19-year-old Manuel Antonio Cano-Pacheco. He was only three years old when his parents brought him to the United States – without a visa.

In 2015, as a teenager in Des Moines, Iowa, he qualified for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, the initiative spearheaded by President Barack Obama to give temporary protection to undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children. Cano-Pacheco gained DACA status and with it, a work permit, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

But then he was arrested and convicted on two misdemeanor drug charges.

On the bright side, a petty drug dealer won’t cross the border illegally again.

“”Go to the article and look at the comments””

I did and didn’t see any comments.... I did see that he didn’t have a chance to graduate from high school and HUGE HEADLINES said he was a high school graduate! Who has time for this nonsense?

And finally why is it somehow American’s fault that Mexico is a violent s-hole country?
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
NONE of them are s-hole countries until WE send felons back.

OTOH deporting criminals - especially one that has been here since they were 3 years old - shouldn’t be the problem of the originating country.

NOW, if any and all illegals and their entire clan/family were deported for multiple offenses, MAYBE the family will try and keep the miscreant in tow, knowing that kit and kaboodle, the entire gang would be thrown out.

That includes ALL here illegally, not just those from Mexico, Central & South America.

Of course all of this is moot until the borderS get secured. Until then, this catch & release plan of LEO in Chicago escorting deportees to the Southern Border will remain that the deported will be back in Chicago before his/her escorts.

Don’t forget ALL the illegals from the ‘South’ can be traced back to FDR.....

LEGAL Japanese used to be the landscapers and groundskeepers for ‘elite’ Americans until FDR interred them for WWII.

Since the elites still needed their lawns mowed, illegals started pouring in from Mexico & points South to pick up the slack.

ANOTHER LIB plan that backfired....

It is America’s curse to have a s***hole country as a neighbor. If only we could have had Switzerland!

I do believe we share some blame for Mexico's state due to our hunger for illegal drugs.

You know, Mexico could be an economic powerhouse with it's natural resources, and its industrious indigenous working class. The problem is that it's inhabited by the wrong people, or at least it chooses corrupt “White Spaniards” as it's “leaders.” But then, when you examine virtually ALL the countries in Central and South America, you find pretty much the same situation, with the exception of Brazil, where the corrupt leaders are of Portuguese decent. But then when you look to the north, you have a "remora" that has attached itself to America's backside as well choosing to screw us with unfair trading practices.

The moral of the story - Mexico is a sh**hole country. And these idiots wave their Mexican Flags and proclaim “Trump is not my president” while on American soil. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I agree these folks writing stuff like this are really daring us to fix Mexico. But first I think we need to fix California.

It is easier to use drones against Mexican politicians, though. ;-)

NONSENSE! You are raising the chicken or the egg issue, which could be turned around to say that if there were not the readily available drugs, brought to you by the Mexicans, there would be no hunger developed here.

Our punishment for not taking over Mexico after we kicked their butt. We should have just taken the whole country and made more states.

So drug dealers in Mexico aren’t as tolerant and open minded as drug dealers in the US? He should have spent some time studying the culture of his homeland rather than running around drunk and stoned.

Boo hoo hoo. Life's not always fair.

Two TV personalities were recently killed in North Carolina when a huge tree fell and crushed their van while they were covering a story. A few seconds difference in their movements that day and they would still be alive.

Life's not fair. Sorry José to hear about your death. Hope you knew Jesus before you died.

More Fake News.

While the relevant facts of the story may be true, what makes this a fake news story is the agenda. The media never relents. The media always looks for false narrative to promote their pro immigration agenda.

“Mexico was unfamiliar”...”spearheaded by BO”.

...this article attempts to both garner sympathy for this Mexican simp and credit BO for being so wonderful for mankind. BO is gone. I’d like this illegal asswipe gone as well. There’s a mature leader in the WH who loves America. This article is a page from a nightmarish 8 years. I’m so glad and thankful for our current administration!
