Wife of former Marine to be deported to Mexico Friday, after 20 years in U.S. (2018)
Wife of former Marine to be deported to Mexico Friday, after 20 years in U.S. (2018)
Alejandra Juarez has lived in the U.S. for 20 years and has two daughters who are American citizens
Temo didn't figure his vote for President Donald Trump would affect them personally. That was before the enforcement of Mr. Trump's "zero tolerance" policy toward illegal immigrants.
August 3, 2018
Alejandra ultimately decided to "self-deport" to Mexico, rather than turn herself in to be detained and then deported. After 20 years in the United States, she no longer has family or friends in the country, so she chose Merida, a city in the Yucatan where a small community of deported military spouses might help her.
Pretty pathetic that a community of deported military spouses exists there. So much for “supporting the troops”.
I'd live in Merida. Its a lovely little city and nice people.
I’m glad, hope my comment didn’t come across as disparaging it. Just sad that a spousal expat community there is even a necessity.
And beaauuuuutiful beaches, omg.
There's this thing in Roman history, where the Romans basically stopped being warriors and left all the fighting to men from the provinces like Gaul. Despite the Gauls being a part of the Roman Empire for centuries, and being their main fighting force and protectors, the Romans still saw them as barbarians and looked down on them. They were just as educated as Romans by this point but were still seen as others. Of course that eventually blew up in their face when those "barbarians" turned on the the Romans and chased them out of their own city.
Anyways, that's how Trump supporters view people of color in the military. They fight for them and protect them but they're still "barbarians" and they don't want them around.
I think that your history is a bit off. The tribes that overturned the western Roman empire were not from Gaul.
This articles from 2018.
Hmmm who was President then?
Here's a follow up where she came back during Biden's term: https://www.stripes.com/incoming/2021-05-19/‘It-felt-like-a-miracle’-Marine-veteran’s-wife-returns-to-US-three-years-after-being-deported-to-Mexico-1495210.html
Temo didn't figure his vote for President Donald Trump would affect them personally.
Boo fucking hoo.
This is an article from 2018 that is very likely to repeat next year
Quite possibly with the same people.
In this thread... People who think this is a current article, and aren't asking why Biden is splitting up families.
Is this really something you'd approve of Biden doing?
The article is not current, but now it's not the first time people voted for Trump. 2018 wasn't Biden's term.
Oh I get that. That's not my point.
You think Biden was president in 2018? I bet you also wonder why Obama didn't do more about 9/11. See, you people having a vote is why we can't have a good country.
I see you failed critical reading.
They think this was done under Biden.
Their objection is lacking.
The post title and 3 top level comments all day 2018. But some people still struggling.
This is the real reason biden lost. Even the people who did read the 2018 are somehow thinking biden was president then.
It was edited 2 hours after it got posted so maybe title got changed after the comments.
Oh that's fair. I thought titles couldn't be edited
Oh no...
... anyway
I think as long as the article date is in the title for old news, like this post, the relevant posts are fine.
Having historical references are pretty helpful, and hilarious.
i'm not sure i would call this hilarious.
Temo didn’t figure his vote for President Donald Trump would affect them personally. That was before the enforcement of Mr. Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy toward illegal immigrants.
As others have pointed out, the article was from 2018. I wonder how Temo voted this time.
lol idiots
You had 20 years to become a legal citizen. After that period of time, getting deported is on you.
The system is unfortunate in that you can't apply for legal status while you're in the country illegally. Like you get married, you then have to leave the country and apply for a spouse visa from a consulate. Even if you leave, if you've been in the country out of status for over a year, you're barred from getting a visa for 10 years(even as a spouse or parent). She likely had no legal path to stay with her family. It's fucked.
Biden tried to do something about that and failed. https://www.npr.org/2024/11/08/g-s1-33370/judge-biden-program-immigrant-spouses-deportation
Alejandra petitioned to become a citizen in 2001, but was rejected because she was accused of making a false statement at the border when she sought asylum in 1998
This couldn't have been Trump, he doesn't take office until January. Why is the media pretending to care about these stories now?
This article is from 2018, halfway through Trump's first term in office.
I'm sorry, what does this have to do with voting Trump? Trump isn't in the white house yet, he doesn't have this power yet. Come January, sure shit will hit the fan but for the moment this doesn't seem to be a trump issue yet.
This is an article from 2018, this is what Trump has already done. It's to show what he will continue to do.
It has to do with voting Trump, because it's a news story from 2018 when Trump was president, and shows what's going to happen again.
If you had read the article, you might have figured it out on your own.
Then again...
