Yessica Ochoa made headlines in 2014 when her 9-year-old daughter, Ligsdenis, became the first child to show up in Charlotte as part of a surge of unaccompanied Central American children who walked by the thousands across the nation’s southern border.
Nearly 70,000 made the trek that year, seeking asylum from gang and cartel violence, and hoping for reunification with parents who had left them behind to establish better lives in the U.S. Ligsdenis Ochoa photographed shortly she arrived in the U.S. from Honduras in 2014.

Ligsdenis is now a fourth grader at Merry Oaks Academy and soon to be a legal resident of the country, thanks to aid from Charlotte attorneys at Central Law Group. She’ll be 11 next month.
As for her mother, there’s good news and bad news.
A Charlotte couple who read about Ligsdenis in a July 2014 Observer story decided to anonymously donate enough cash to jump start their future in the United States. The money has become the basis for a successful food truck business Ochoa started eight months ago.
But Ochoa, 34, is also undocumented and can’t help but worry as the U.S. Supreme Court debates the legality of an immigrant-protection program proposed by President Barack Obama.
The rising popularity of Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump frightens her even more, with his talk of deporting entire families. ADVERTISING
Now she is the one who could be deported back to Honduras, while her newly arrived daughter is here to stay.

LOL.....
“Untaxed illegal alien” works better; this POS doesn’t even contribute to her own daughter’s “services”.
In my area these imports (legal or otherwise) decry the crumbling infrastructure because there are no taxpayers to fax/maintain anything.
Does she have tape worms? Does she have TB?
These illegals have many medical issues. They carry diseases that haven't been seen for years in this country. No wonder there has been a surge in measles, whooping cough, TB, on and on.
Go ahead you liberals in Charlotte. Congratulate yourselves on how progressive you are - you traitors.
Well, this combat vet’s American Dream has been cut way short, baby. So get in line.
Close play? How about a caught pop up fly that doesn’t even need an umpire?
She’s not exactly receiving the “warm and welcoming” treatment in the comments from your link. I clicked the “load more comments” about four times before I found one that was even remotely sympathetic.
I'm ecstatic that she lives in fear on the taxpayer dime. I hope soon to hear of a grim faced Border Patrol guy dragging her screaming back to whatever hell hole she came from.

Don’t vote/support any politician that supports illegal aliens
GO TRUMP GO
Instead of fearing her “American Dream” may be cut short, she should be asking why there’s no “Honduran Dream”.
You’re welcome; I like your term as well!
We really crossed a threshold when in addition to ignoring the illegal presence of these people we also ignore their untaxed wages; our overlords pretended they were being trafficked here to bolster Social Security, and that certainly isn’t taking place.
Most of the country already surrendered to their agenda.
Hence the use of
gay instead of homosexual,
gender instead of sex,
progressive instead of liberal,
liberal instead of socialist,
socialist instead of communist,
global warning instead of weather.
I'm sure many more can be added to this short list.
Grappling hook children. Throw them over the border and the rest of the family follows.
“Now she is the one who could be deported back to Honduras, while her newly arrived daughter is here to stay.”
Well, if the kid could find her way here from Honduras to be with Mommy, she can probably find her way back again.
Its about time they changed the name from undocumented to what since undocumented means illegal....UHHHHH say Unfortunate aliens?
If her kid is raped, kidnapped, or killed by an illegal, she will certainly be proven right.
Sending "the churldren" ahead to risk their lives to clear the way for their worthless parents to get a free pass into America is disgusting and sick. Bonzo encouraged them to do this so he is just as much a criminal as they are.
GO HOME!
Dream of coming to America legally.
Do it now, before being here illegally PERMANENTLY disqualifies you from ever being here legally.
(oh, and take your kid with you, WE don’t want to break up families, even if YOU were willing to send her unaccompanied to a foreign land).
