In today's Laredo Morning Times there is a front page story about a boy/young man whose parents decided to bring to the United States illegally. Yes, it was a concious decision. How do I know that? Well they went through the trouble of obtaining an matricular consular card from Mexico which allows the holder to enter the US border zone for up to 36 hours.
Well the young man was stopped for a traffic violation and had no drivers license, but apparently showed his Mexican ID. The Laredo PD officer notified US Border Patrol and they detained the young man. He would face deportation, except he may be eligible for forgiveness due to President Obama waiving the deportation proceedings for kids brought here illegally.
My questions are:
Why aren't the parents deported for brining this poor kid here, getting him a Mexican ID card, and leading him to believe he would have no future issues? Apparently, and I draw this maybe false conclusion that one of his parents, or he works at Wells Fargo Bank, as he stated at the end of the article that he was not sure if there was a Wells Fargo in Mexico.
If he or one of the parents do work at Wells Fargo, how did they get the job? Did they get a green card? Or did they use a fake work permit? If they got a legal green card,why not apply for US citizenship for their son the proper and legal way?
These people are not your farm worker crossing the border looking for work. They have some status to allow them to enter the US, get a job, and send their child to college. Why didn't they do it legally?
The parents are at fault here, and it is they who should be deported.
I will save my rant on the attorney's complaining about Laredo PD calling Border Patrol for another day.
