This is another free ticket to your citizenship papers, been going on since jorge bush started it. They just need to claim it, no one ever demands proof.
You’re right; these stories are to soften up public opinion for the amnesty announcement. What happened to this girl is terrible (if true); she made the decision to invade this country illegally, forfeiting any protections she enjoyed in Mexico as a Mexican citizen.
The sympathy has dried up; Americans are losing their country to people who make the choices this girl made. I was just in a business in a heavily Hispanic area, and couldn’t believe the number of women who were pregnant (I’m a breeder, and think it is one of the reasons God put us here). There were no wedding bands, and these people didn’t look like they were going to be supporting these children. This nonsense that their numbers are being driven up by continued immigration, without mentioning their birthrate (especially the out-of-wedlock birthrate) is absurd.
