In which the "Hispanic community" learns about consequences.

Ohio city's Hispanic community on edge after mom's deportation

Funny how the headline says "Mom's" deportation; rather than illegal alien's deportation. Why not just call her an unarmed mom? 

"You can imagine how these families are feeling," she said. "They have been here so long, but they are still very marginalized. Now they feel like our government is coming for all of them."

You mean, like every other family that's harboring outlaws? You mean, the "Hispanic community" didn't know that living your whole life on the basis of illegal residence in another country can mean you get arrested and sent home? I wonder how that happened?

"Now they feel like our government is coming for all of them."

Good.

There have been similar cases reported in the Seattle media.  A number of them grow out of a traffic stop, just as in this case.

"Since the 1960s, Latinos from Puerto Rico and, more recently, Mexico, provide the engine for nursery growth and survival, embarking on their own American Journey of hard work and assimilation,"

People from Puerto Rico are normally US citizens... The illegal immigrant apologists always try to conflate this stuff. Unfortunately many people are frankly not educated enough to see it. A lot of Puerto Rican’s I know are not particularly fond of Mexicans; many ‘latinos’ have their own prejudices, I’m betting this reporter didn’t try hard to find any opinions contrary to what he was reporting.

"You can imagine how these families are feeling," she said. "They have been here so long, but they are still very marginalized. Now they feel like our government is coming for all of them."

Perhaps the author should have asked a Mexican consulate what the law is for illegals caught in Mexico.

The final paragraph needs a slight revision: "They have been here so long, but they are still very marginalized illegal."

Is the government coming to get them? I hope so. Better late than never. This woman had already been deported once, but she sneaked back in again. Maybe she needs to find the sorcerer in Nogales who sold her the "cloak of invisibility" talisman she's been wearing and sue him.

They let this stuff go unresolved for so long there will be pain when it is corrected.

Wonder if she had fake documents, which is a felony.  Wonder if she worked in the USA, which is also illegal.  Wonder if she ever lied on tax returns or other documents about her legal status?  Actually, I don't wonder very much.

There's is nothing on tax returns about citizenship or residency status.

Interesting, I didn't know that.

Ah, what I was thinking about was this- illegal aliens don't qualify for the earned income tax credit welfare payment- but large numbers file tax forms to get the money illegally.

You were right that there is no mechanism asking about the legal status on tax returns- hence the inability of the federal gov to prevent this fraud.

The Child Tax Credit is the tip of the Fraud-iceberg.  Earned Income Credit is a license to steal from the Fed.gov (Other taxpayers).  We have to do a bit more due diligence, but it only stopped some of the fraud for about a year, until they learned not give the wrong answers as they did that first year (nor show up with their extended family and baby-daddies, then debate about who is claiming what son, daughter, niece, nephew, cousin, etc.  Followed by the passing of the kid's Social Security Cards.  That no longer takes place in our office.  They now show up individually, with the kids social security cards in hand, and rehearsed EIC due diligence answers.
