Let the law take care of it.

I don't care who it is, where they're from, or what the story is.

There are a lot of people who should be deported.

First the pregnant story and now this.

I'm still waiting on what made it so hard for 8 years to become a citizen. Call me ignorant, but if I wanted something badly enough, I'd do everything I could to get it. I'm sure 8 years is plenty of time.

Arnold Schwarzenegger did it, right?

my gf's dad just got his....took 10 years because our justice system likes to lose his card....sometimes you have to look at it from both sides.

She arrived on a VISITORS visa...She had become an overstay. Her Permit (depending on what type) allows her to be here TO VISIT for the alloted amount of time. She is an overstay. You speak of the illegals from Mexico but in the same breath you want an exception because she is your friend. She broke the law when the visa expired. She and the "illegal immigrants from Mexico, many of which have questionable character and goals and have suffered no ill from their own government" are painted by the same brush in the eyes of the US Government. She arrived here on false pretense as a visitor. She is an overstay and be it Mexican, Egyptian, or Martian, they are subject to deportation. I AM NOT SAYING IT IS THE SAME, but do you realize that the terrorists that were involved with September 11th were overstays on a student visa? What was the #1 complaint when it happened? Why does our government not deport these people? You cannot pick and choose. The law states in laymans terms, you break it, you are penalized.

I know the human element in this will cause people to look at the "AWWW poor thing" side of it, but, IT IS A LAW. My parents were immigrants and they waited and jumped through the hoops. Their reward? they are and always will be US Citizens. I really like Disneyland, but if I go in as a visitor, when it's time for me to leave, no matter how many memories I have on Space Mountain, I have to leave. If I stay there, I will get booted out no matter HOW bad my home sucks. If I want to go back, much like this site, I follow the rules and don't get banned.

She was a visitor, she was supposed to leave. I feel for her, but EVERYONE must play by the rules.

a very close friend of our family came from Canada and it took her less than 5 years to become a US citizen and she had to take her time going through the process because she was working and going through college at the same time

so good luck to her she can get it done if she really wants to
