The Orange County, California couple were deported to Columbia this week after living in the United States illegally for 35 years.
After invading our country, Nelson Gonzalez, 59, and Gladys Gonzalez, 55, spent years trying to legalize their positions. According to KTLA 5A spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement explained that the couple “drained all legal options to stay in the United States between March 2000 and August 2021.” But they hadn't returned home yet.
The couple has three daughters, ages 23 to 33, and are born in the United States, making them legal citizens. KTLA 5 states, “When they learned that their parents were detained during regular check-in with US immigration officers on February 21st, they were devastated.”
“Gladys and Nelson, with criminal history, were originally held at the Adelanto Detention Center in San Bernardino County before they were transferred to facilities in Arizona and later Louisiana,” the report adds.
One daughter said her parents were traumatized by everything that occurred. [but] I was grateful that I was not in the detention center anymore and contacted my Columbian family.
Yesssss!
These are stories that need to be brought to life all across the country. If not, if people who comply with such laws are deported and everyone knows it, all illegal will understand that they are not safe from deportation. It should be, and knowing this 1) encourages more self-reports and 2) discourages those who want to come here.
The couple enjoyed 35 illegal years in America. They should be grateful for that. However, even those who follow the law (other than illegal immigration issues) should not be allowed to come and stay here illegally. I'm a good person. If I find myself living illegally in Colombia, Mexico and Vatican, I will be deported.
There's no harm to this couple. I hope they are nothing more than a long and happy life in their home country. I respect the fact that after they went illegal they tried to do the right thing to legalize their status. But the law is law, and it's quite a past time that we send them and 20 million other people send their homes just like them.
Stupidly, rather than reading the sentences about Trump's big, beautiful walls, Gonzalez has made it possible to deport himself. If they had been self-reported, they could have applied to legally return to America.
This is everything Their breakdown. They brought this trauma to themselves and their families. A nation on Earth cannot survive without controlled boundaries or controlled immigration.
