Today's SPORTS section of the Denver Post/Rocky Mountain News has a story of a 26 year old Mexican national and her swearing in ceremony as a U.S. citizen. She runs marathons or something and had a scholarship at Adams State here in Colorado.

OK so what is the beef? Well, this story mentions that she came to the US at age 16 from MEXICO. The article says she "joined her brother.." here in California and "enrolled" at a High School there! This is the second article in the POST/NEWS about her. The last one mentioned how her mom is still in Mexico and she has like 15 brothers and sisters.

I could be wrong BUT, did she enter the U.S. at age 16 as an illegal immigrant? Did she then start to run track at the Costa Mesa High School in California and then Adams State here in Colorado somehow got her a visa as a student athlete?

I could be wrong but 16 year old girls from poor Mexican families DO NOT get visas IN MEXICO at our consulate orr EMBSSY to enter California High Schools or do they?

I wish our Congressman Tom Tancredo would look into this to see if she initially entered the U.S. illegally? Again, I could be wrong, but the article just says she "joined her brother' in California but how? Legally and or illegally? Adams State gave her a scholarship and how? Of course, was aother American citizen and citizen of Coloradoo denied a scholarship because they gave it to her? The track coach in the previous article said "...we deny no one..." meaaning maybe we don't care if she was illegal?

I would love to see someone here in Colorado investigate this but I don't know if Tom Tancredo and his people would want to look into this...? Might not be politically inviting publicly but then again...?

If she violated US law when she entered the country would that not be grounds to deny any later visa and or citizenship? Costa Mesa High School must have records on her and she must have some prove of initial LEGAL US entry correct? If ICE only has paper work saying Adams State obtained a track VISA when she was 18 and she applied in Mexico then there are grouunds for refusal of citizenship or am I wrong?

Again, maybe she did come her LEGALLY but I have my doubts! Poor woman in Mexico with 16 kids and 16 year old daughter gets visa to enter US? NO WAY! The LAW does not work like that!

If I am right some heads could roll if someone wanted to make a big enough noise of this but again I could be wrong!

If you think about this person something just doesn't add up LEGALLY?

BTW Now that she is a citizen and she can now start the proccess to bring MOM and her 16 brother and sisters here too right? The Denver Post and its writers never saw any ILLEGAL they did not like!
