Thread: Refugee facing deportation this week

GLENWOOD SPRINGS — José Mendoza Turbin has begun packing his bags, even as he crosses his fingers that he’ll be unpacking them soon and staying put.

Despite an enormous outpouring of community support, Mendoza Turbin faces deportation back to his native El Salvador on Wednesday, unless a last-minute legal effort to keep him in the country pays off.

“I’m scared,â€

He sought asylum in this country shortly after he arrived, but his claims were turned down. As his legal options dwindle, ICE authorities say he has to leave.

According to this article, he was never a refugee. He was and still is an illegal alien. Four years ago he was 17, did he come alone or with family?

Either way, he should be deported.

I agree... dont send him back. I want him locked up in a FEMA Camp with a 10 year sentance for the damage done to this country from ILLEGAL Immigration

Put them in the fields picking crops... back breaking work... but you will get no sympathy from me... matter of fact these corrupt politicians that not only allowed but supported this ILLEGAL ALIEN INVASION

YOU WOULD MAKE REAL GOOD LIVE IN SUPERVISORS IN THE BRAND SPANKING NEW FEMA CAMPS

ALL illegals must be deported.

Some facts have been conveniently left out of this SOB story. First I'd like to know something about his four years here. How was he supported, housed and educated during that time? What social services if any did he gloom off the taxpayer's dime?

Then I'd like to point out he is merely a prospective nursing student. So he's not any kind of asset yet as far as I understand the English language. How will his college education be paid for if he was allowed to stay?

I would have to give this 'reporter' a C- for this story. That being kind.
