Did she get to meet Juan Valdez?

[Lambda Force]

A teenager ran away from home and was caughts stealing. Rather than admit who she is and be sent home, she tells the authorities she's Columbian. They start the process to deport her. She sticks to her story. The Columbian consulate issues her a passport based on her story. She sticks to her story. She goes to Columbia. She starts a life there with internet access and a facebook page under a fake name but she doesn't email her parents asking to come home. The family eventually finds her fakebook page and blames everyone except her and the people who raised her.

Even though her lies caused the whole thing and returning to her family was less desirable than going to Columbia.

I say leave her in Columbia and give her citizenship to somebody who wants to be here.

Interesting story. I'll have to have a cup of coffee and think about this one.

Upon her deportation, Jakadrien was accepted into the Colombia government's expatriate “Welcome Home” program. At least as evidenced by Facebook posts, she lived an adventuresome life, partying and smoking pot with adults during her off-hours from cleaning a mansion. She became pregnant while in Colombia.

That's great.

Tax dollars spent to house and deport her. Tax dollars spent to find her and bring her back. And, soon enough, tax dollars spent to provide for her spawn.

Like I said, they should leave her in Columbia and give her US citizenship to somebody else.

I know it doesn't work that way but maybe that's a big part of why the US has the problems we have.

At the very least her parents should be forced to pay all the costs arising from their daughters actions.

1) Her Parents hired a lawyer to sue "someone" (government) for deporting her (just as I was thinking she and her parents should pay her transportation costs for her vacation to see her boyfreind and get pregnant )

2) Everyone is like "How could this happen?" ... it happened because she ran away from home, and lied to Law Enforcement ... should be a penalty for providing false Information to the LEOs too, but society wants to reward the deception?

3) Hooray ... another Democrat votin' anchor baby will be born so her husband/boyfreind/Baby's Daddy can get in the USA now and they can live together forever after while he works as a productive employee of .... and she holds a managerial position at .... you'll get the bill in your Taxes


With coffee prices going up ... I hope she did say hi to Juan

Maybe I am not modern enough. Back in the good ole days parents were held financially responsible for damage their under aged children caused. It is only right and just. It seems as if we have come to a point where everyone is considered a victim. Even criminals or juvinal delequents. We search for the reason why poor little (insert name of criminal here) was driven to commit a misdeed.

Not gonna happen.

Jakadrien's family is planning to sue over the matter, a lawyer for the family told ABC News. They're exploring lawsuits against the ICE, Houston police and Colombian government because of "egregious injustice, and the ball has been dropped," attorney Ray Jackson said.

No personal or family responsibility here. Surprise,surprise.

No welfare. No handouts. No robbing the productive members of society to support her, her kids, her boyfriends, or her pot dealer.
