Thread: Central Americans pushed through immigration system as others wait

With no space to sit, Yudy Miranda stood in the hallway, rocking her 17-year-old sister's infant in a carrier while eyeing her two small sons as they awaited their recent hearing. They all had come from Guatemala to find Miranda last summer because she said there was no work in their isolated and impoverished mountainside town.

"I didn't want them to come," said the 32-year-old, who juggles two jobs at McDonald's and a taqueria in Humble. "But the situation in my country is very hard."

Okay, so 1 illegal alien has not 1 job but 2 jobs supporting herself and 2 kids, and now a sister and her kid. Pack 'em all up and ship them back to Honduras. If there is no work in the "impoverished village" they grew up in, then do what 90% of Americans do who grew up in small towns with no jobs for them, they move to another place where there are jobs. And if there are more people than jobs in your country, then may I suggest you withhold from breeding until you have a job and can feed 'em in your own country.

What is wrong with these stupid people?! A 17 year old who already has a baby, and she has no job, so she hikes all the way from Honduras to the United States to break US immigration law? And why hasn't someone already terminated Yudy's illegal employment and shipped her and her kids back to Honduras long before the sister and her spawn showed up? Your breeding and employment issues are not our problem, they're yours. Now go home and keep your legs together until you find a job that will sustain your stupid butts.

Jimenez, meanwhile, doesn't know if she'll be able to scrimp together enough money to hire an attorney before her hearing next month. Her mother is being treated for a tumor, and all the family's extra money is going toward that.

But neither can the teen fathom returning to her hometown in Honduras, where she was violently assaulted by a gang who kidnapped and drugged her. No matter what happens, she's sworn to herself she'll never go back.

"I said, 'never again,' " she said. "It still pains me to talk about it."

Okay, so you were raped. That is awful and you have our deepest sympathies. Women are drugged and raped in America, by the tens of thousands every year. They don't leave our country because of it. Your rape if it occurred and there's ample reason to be suspicious of that tale, is still no excuse at all of any kind for you to be here. And you know what else? It may be a valid reason for you to leave your "village" and move to another location in Honduras, but it's no reason for you to be in the US taking our jobs away from Americans, using our welfare or education or health care systems, taking up our time, and costing US a bunch of money. Now pack up your sob stories with your other belongings, get out of here, and stay out.
