...when the federal government wants to do everything it can to make life easier for entire families of illegal immigrants, yet they look for ways to deport those people who are trying to follow the rules. Case in point: Ewelina Bledniak An attorney missed a filing deadline 8 years ago (and the paperwork was filed) that would have allowed the now-11 year old girl to apply for a green card (her father is a US citizen). Now the INS says she has to return to Poland (where she hasn't been since she was 2 years old) and remain for one year before she can return to her family in the US. Luckily she has a grandmother in Poland where she can stay until the legal proceedings come to a close. However she doesn't speak much Polish which will make attending school difficult while she's gone.
Why does this country seek to waive paperwork for citizenship, waive citizenship requirements for drivers' licenses, provide free healthcare, waive citizenship requirements for entrance to community colleges to people who actively & knowingly broke the law & have no intention to follow the proper channels to become legal citizens, and make them de facto citizens? Why are individuals being punished for doing the right thing? Is it because individuals don't make up an entire demographic voting bloc that can be solicited? Something stinks in Washington...and it's not just roadkill along the Beltway.
