"I never thought that I was going to be caught up in this messed-up system."

So said Jessica Colotl quite candidly about being found out after living in this country illegally for 10 years and enjoying its benefits including enrollment in Kennesaw State University.

If you build it they will climb it. Why not build the wall out of giant squares of sticky trays. Like the rat traps and fly paper are made of?

Sounds good to me. Lets just hire illegals for $2.00 an hour to build the fence.

Electrified.

The sad thing I have been noticing in the news media is that our youth (20 year olds) have this sense of entitlement. The laws of our land do NOT apply to them. Jessica has driven unlicensed many times before but this was the 1st time she got caught! She should be deported right away & allowed to apply for citizenship within a year. I know she doesn't want to go back to Mexico. America is a wonderful place to live but you should have to follow the rules just like everyone else!

No one follows the rules all of the time.

She should be deported right away...I agree. Then she needs to put on her "big girl bragas" and go to the back of the line for immigrants applying for citizenship. So here we are....told that the parents are illegal immigrants, I hope that is not some kind of "new-fangled profiling" so ICE needs to go and get them. where they at? Where they at? Where they at?

Illegal immigration is much more peaceful than European colonialization.
Take a history class.
The real enemy to america is on wall street.
I have no problem with the prices I currently pay for my fruits and vegetables..I am greatful for migrant workers.

Well then, go to Mexico and eat. Save a spot for obama and his (my nephew did not help me) aunt.

This makes me so mad.We legal citizens have to go by laws.yet these people are causeing all kinds of problems and complainlng.

If she will just walk slow, obammy will grant them all amnesty before she gets home. I like Jerry Gonzalez EVEN LESS than obammy. These two were separated at birth. In Kenya.

Can anyone tell me when the deportation process begins? Are people being fined who hired them? Why isn't proof of citizenship required before kids can attend school? Are her parents in jail yet? Does she have sisters and brothers? Report...export...deport...transport....GO, GO, Go, Go.

I need some brainpower to answer number 6.

talking to yourself again?..you may want to see someone about that.

Oh boo hoo. You are here illegally, you just haven't gotten caught until now (unfortunately) and since you got by all this time, you feel you are entitled.

Cry me a river.

I am amazed that she has made it all the way to graduation and now has been caught. I am assuming her school has been paid for by grants, loans, maybe even scholarships. She really knew how to work the system. I attended an awards ceremony at Pike Schools last week and was told you are welcome to buy any of your children's prints~ we encourage each parent to donate $1.00 for the lamination that we used. Maybe we could use some of her insight here. Seriously, I know our schools can't be that short on funds.
