He has lived here for 30 years, has worked and paid his taxes, and has committed no crimes.
He checked in with ICE every year, and was pursuing the path to citizenship.
In 2005 he paid a lawyer to start the paperwork.
At first she did nothing, and when she finally did, she screwed up the paperwork and that is why he was given a deportation order.

Who put the man and his family in this situation? The US government? The person who brought the man here illegally? Or the man who knew he was here illegally?
I vote for the second

Yeah, you just ignored that whole part of my post about how Jorge Garcia was trying to get his status in order, and got ripped off by the lawyer he hired.

His wife is a US citizen so not only should he have been allowed to stay, but to apply for citizenship himself, which he was trying to do.

Jorge Garcia was brought here when he was 10 years old.
Do you think he had a choice in that?
He was doing everything he could to get right with the government.

The person who brought him here is not being punished, he and his family are.
WTF did his wife and kids do wrong?

He was the sole breadwinner for his family, so what happens to them now?
Do you even give a ****?

I'm not the least bit surprised by the TOO BAD, SO SAD attitude of both you and your BFF Clem.
Both of you are completely devoid of empathy, just like the heartless bastard in the WH that you worship so much.

Not enough pictures for you:

1. We did not put him in this position. As an adult he chose to stay here.

2. At any point as an adult he knew this could happen.

3. At any point he could have chosen to return to his country of citizenship with his family.

4. His decision to stay here is what is “breaking up” his family.

5. This is what happens when one side supports ignoring immigration law instead of enforcing it for political purposes.

6. Do I feel bad because the decisions he made as an adult are breaking up his family? Yes. Just like I feel bad when an American breaks Mexican immigration law and ends up in a Mexican jail. But, that was their choice.

So, I am not taking responsibility for the decisions of an adult to continue to break the law. He could have left with his family and applied for citizenship like millions of people world wide. He put his family in this position. Not me
