Rayos, living illegally in the US since 1999, was busted for using a fake Social Security number and an illegal immigrant in 2008, yet wasn’t deported back to Mexico till this year. My guess is her deportation never happened in 2008 was because of laws on the books at the time, so blaming Obama doesn’t work (even though many will/would) because you would have to also blame Bush43 and Clinton because he was president in 1999. It’s so much easier to blame the last guy then all others involved. – PB/TK
‘I did it for love,’ says mother deported in Arizona immigration case – Updated 11:08 PM ET, Thu February 9, 2017
(CNN)Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos went to Mass and said a prayer before her immigration check-in Wednesday in Phoenix.
It was her eighth visit since her 2008 arrest and conviction for using a fake Social Security number. After each meeting, the married mother of two was released and went back to her family.
This time was different.
The undocumented immigrant was detained Wednesday and deported within 24 hours to her native Mexico, in what her lawyer claims is a direct result of US President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials claim there was nothing special about her case. She committed a crime, was placed under a deportation order, and her time had come.
Whatever the reason, Garcia de Rayos, 35, said she has no regrets. Not about coming to the US as a teenager in search of a better life nearly two decades ago, or staying illegally and working under a fake Social Security number. Not about going to her immigration check-in despite the risk of deportation under the Trump administration’s executive order.
