A 15-year-old undocumented immigrant whose family was killed in a Florida car wreck this past weekend will not be deported, according to immigration officials. ICE told reporters Lidiane Carmo, whose family immigrated from Brazil 12 years ago, has nothing to worry about.
"The Carmo family was in the United States illegally," said Alonso Oliveira, a family friend and pastor of the church, which caters to the Brazilian community. "The family wanted to obtain legal status but had no laws to help them do so."
Fact: She's illegal. Whatever happened, it would not have happened if they were where they belonged. Pack her up and ship her home!
The family did not "immigrate." They were lawbreakers who came into the US illegally. There's a difference and deporting her is part of the proper process.
There were no laws to help them just as there are no laws to help burglars enter my home and remove all of my posessions. The difference is that I can shoot a burglar if I find him inside the borders of my home.

But, according to CNN, Florida Gov. Rick Scott visited the girl in the hospital and assured the family that all expenses, including the transportation of the bodies back to Georgia, would be taken care of. The governor's office has refused to comment on who would pick up the tab.
I'm guessing it's not Rick Scott who is paying the tab.

Of course not! It's good ole Uncle Sucker, aka U.S. taxpayers. While I certainly feel for this girl, she belongs back in Brazil with her extended family. Who better to console and support her, than her loved ones? I don't understand why she would even want to remain here without her family.

Yup! These slimy politicians act so compassionate since they never have to foot the bill. So first the governor is excusing illegal behavior, now he is rewarding her and punishing legal tax payers? Outrageous.
This girl MIGHT have some morals since her family were church people.
Well I doubt her parents were very moral or upstanding as they choose to break the laws of this country.
This case is a little more borderline since she doesn't have parents who should be deported with her, hopefully some citizen family would adopt her, at 15 she still needs parents, and they can sponsor her.

You're right, I agree with you. Time for the legal Brazilians here to step up.
