Whitfield County soccer star must leave country after title match

by Gene Henley

If the Southeast Whitfield Raiders win their game tonight against top-ranked St. Pius X of Atlanta, Bernabe Rangel will play for the Georgia Class AAA soccer championship Saturday.

Two days later, the standout midfielder for the Dalton, Ga., high school will be deported to Mexico.

“I’d love to stay here. Who wouldn’t?â€

[quote]A seemingly routine event last year — a teenager accepting a Nintendo DS — sent Rangel’s life into a tailspin and left his college plans in America in limbo.

Rangel said a friend gave him the Nintendo game and asked him to “hold it.â€

Boo hoo. This guy should be blaming his parents for putting him in this position. Deport the whole family.

This story sounds like a veiled attempt to imply that there is something wrong with the system. People from countries other than Mexico get deported all the time without sob stories in the news. The reason he's not worried about being deported is because he knows that a family member or friends will pick him up at the border and he will just change his name and move to another city or state and start over again. I do believe he was set up, probably by someone who didn't like his soccer skills. Jealousy. If his whole family is illegal, he's lucky they're not being deported along with him.

Yes, including his young cousins that his illegal mother is watching while their illegal parents work! Sounds like he has a hole lot of illegal family living in the community.
