well I'm not going to jump in on this one other than to say I'm mexican, I was born and raised here. My wife whom I love dearly is also mexican who was born I'm Mexico. Yes she is illegal. Without going into much detail for my wife to become a citizen she has to go back to Mexico for 2 years. We have two children a home a life and she still must go back to become a citizen. Obviously this isn't going to happen and I told the immigration agent this on our last appointment in Houston. He said ice could come to our house and take her. I told him over my dead body. So I'm opposed to deportation and feel sorry for the poor souls that come to take my family away.
if you were born and raised in america, then your an american, not a mexican. there shouldnt be a catagory of mixed countries. your either 1 or the other. i understand not wanting your wife to go back due to the kids and all, but if she wants to be a citizen, then she ought to obey the law. it sucks, but its what has to be done. ive been married for nearly 9yrs and only been with my wife for a little over 2yrs. i understand you not wanting her to go, but obey the law as we all do or suffer the consequinces.
