Why are you worried? Apparently breaking our laws isn't a problem for him. Just put some Saran Wrap on his Dinner plate, he'll be back.

Unfortunately you have made the choice to marry a man who is here illegally.  My point is, though, you made that choice knowing he could be deported.  I don't believe that the U.S is infringing on any of your personal rights.  You are free to live where you want.  If you go to Mexico, then follow their rules and become a citizen.  I am sorry for you and your child, because of the father's impending deportation, but there is a level of personal responsibility here.  You did not enter the relationship blindly and knew the possibilities. (I am just assuming this from your post) Your husband drove without a license, chose to break that law and lived in a country daily as an illegal.  He chose to break the law on a daily basis.  I believe it was only a matter of time before he got caught.  Personal repsonsibility plays a part here, on both your part and his.  Living outside of the law was his choice, I am sorry this happened, and unfortunatley, all of you will have to live with the consequences of his choices and actions.

Say what you want, it all comes down to one thing in the end, if you want to visit another country you are required to get a visa or passport, there is no country that I know of on earth except USA where anyone gets to come in for humane or other reasons. We turned back Cubans, Jamacians, and Vietnamese who came here illegally and tried to sneak in, Mexico is no better or worse than those countries. We have rules, doesn't matter what nationality you are, in this day and age, with other countries growing their own terrorist and drug lords,  we( all Nations) need to enforce that rule. If you can't enter the USA legally, you need to go back home. We don't need more poor here, we have enough poor, desperate and homeless we can't take care of, Americans are out there hungry, sick and suffering,  our country is overpopulated and crime ridden, stretched to the limit right now. I have friends from other countries who at home, were poorer than poor, but took the time to become citizens, and now are legal and make good wages, pay taxes and obey our laws. Being poor or wanting to give your family a better life is not a good excuse to become criminals, do you give allowance for the  people who can't afford to feed their kids so they sell drugs just to feed them? What about people who steal to feed their kids because they can't do it otherwise?  What about unwed mothers who kept their child and have to prostitute themselves to feed and care for their babies or give them up for adoption or a foster home? What about that guy who used to work everyday, owned a home, had a family and one day he had no job, and was too old or unskilled to get another, and now lives in a box behind the Dollar Store? When he asks you for a dollar, do you give it to him, or judge him an alcoholic or druggie, and give him nothing more than a dirty look? You want to feel sympathy for someone, there are plenty of people out there on our streets in the cold, rain and storms every night, pity them, they did'nt sneak into our country, they are citizens, and they also have families. I don't know where your priorities or allegiance lies, but mine are American first and foremost.

i agree hold heartedly with what you are saying i have married and recenblty had a beautiful little girl jan 3rd 2008 and on feb 23rd our whole life came crashing down he was pulled over and arrested for driving without a licsence . now he is awaiting his deportation back to mexico we were even in the process of filing for his papers because he has been in the united states for 10 years had paid his taxes, learned to read,write, and speak english fluently. married me and had a child. now our only option is within two weeks i am packing every last belonging we have to take to mexico because i have to move down there to keep my husband and the father of my child in our lives . where are my right i am us citizen born and raised. i feel my rights or moral rights are being violated why is it that my only option is i haveto abandon my country to keep my family . i feel this law is unjust. i have friends that both got deported back to mexico but since their children were born in the U.S. they couldnt go with them back to mexico now they are sitting in DHS custody awaiting a foster home . there is nothing right, fair, or just about that

I understand how you feel, I dont understand why he didn't have a license?  How it is that he is married to you and doesn't have what he needs to get a license. My sister married a man from Mexico as well. He didn't speak English, couldn't read it nothing. He learned he did everything humanly possible to become legal in a timely fashion. There are steps you can take to move the process faster. I am guessing by what you wrote you guys didn't do everything in a timely fashion. Also, just because he was driving with out a license they normally dont just send them back like that.....Unless he did something else? I have a really good friend who works for David L Moss. He is Mexican and works for ICE. They normally dont handle deportation like that, unless he has gotten in a lot of trouble before if that's the cause, not saying it is. but if so he needs to go back!

I have to agree with Sunshine for the first time, you knew what you were getting into before getting into it!

Guess I have to agree with the majority here also.  No rights were violated here.  He hadn't taken the steps to become a citizen so techinically he had no rights.  However, I admire him taking the time to learn and read the language.  Most don't do that.

if they enter w/ a visa they can get their papers quick sometimes, otherwise it will take longer. it's sometimes easy to pass judgement if you have not been in that situation.  i was 19 when i met my then illegal boyfriend and i was so nieve--that it didnt cross my mind that he was illegal until we were married... i know pretty dumb,,, fortunately it all worked out.

I know girl, you dont think about that stuff....I wouldn't either, I know my sister didn't. You love someone, you just love them.....

I think this chic who was talking about all this is just wanting sympathy. You take the good with the bad, of course I feel bad for her. but things like that happen.
