The Ann Arbor City Council weighed in on the national debate over immigration policy Monday night, passing a resolution opposing increased federal enforcement.
The issue of immigration hit home for council members last month when Lourdes Salazar Bautista, a long-term Ann Arbor resident and a mother of three, made an emotional plea before the council, asking for help to stop her deportation. Days later, it was announced her deportation was postponed one year through deferred action.
I wonder if similar resolutions will be passed to "defer" action against citizens who violate our laws. After all, shouldn't we also "preserve" citizen families? Don't our homegrown criminals also have "ties" to the community?

I'd like to see a defender of illegal aliens reply to this post. I won't hold my breath though. So this kind of nonsense is happening in my home state of Michigan now? I think many of our citizens are mentally starting to fall prey to the "Invasion of the body snatchers". They've lost all rational thought process.

Punishments are based on the level of crime are payed accordingly either with time served or a fine. It does not seem like she had a criminal record or she would have been sent to prison or her deportation would have proceeded.
There is no comparison. I am not for letting murderers go free to walk our streets without paying for their crime and yet, it happens in our society. I could careless if the murderer is a citizen, authorized or illegal immigrant with ties to the community. Those types of crimes must be served in prison. I would be concerned for the safety of the "preserved" citizen family. An illegal immigrant without a criminal background is not a threat to its own family.
Your post makes no sense. You can argue that she is here in violation of the law and you disagree with ICE's decision to stop deportation but your argument is flawed.

She is an illegal alien who had deportation orders. But, as usual, she managed to exploit her children to remain here. Yet, pro-illegals still deny the fact that illegals use their children to "anchor" themselves to this country. If not for her children, she couldn't have whined about the "preservation" of her family, could she?
Please share your info on this woman's otherwise "law-abiding" status. Does she work? If so, how is she working without either using a stolen SSN (theft=criminal offense), a fake SSN (fraud=criminal offense), or is working under the table (tax evasion=criminal offense). For that matter, how do we even know that she, like countless others, hasn't been using an alias? As far as we know, she could be a convicted felon, or entered this country to avoid prosecution for crimes committed in her homeland. Your assumption that she is guiltless is what is "flawed."
Do you think they would consider passing a resolution to protect citizen thieves, fraudsters, or tax evaders who had managed to "long-term" evade law enforcement? Of course not! The mere notion is ridiculous, as is this. She should be deported. And, she can take her children with her. That way, the family unit will remain intact. It will also be a savings for taxpayers, who no doubt, have been footing the bills for her three children even prior to their birth.

What tax evasion? Do we know if she signed any papers when and if she works? I know American citizens who do not pay any taxes at all and it is perfectly legal. I do not believe it is right. I think everyone needs to pay for the roads, schools, etc but it is perfectly legal. Therefore, it is wrong to assume that because she is here illegally that she criminalized due to tax evasion.
If she had committed crimes in her homeland, ICE would have investigated that by now. After all, they are aware she is here illegally and if her deportation was moved for another year, ICE knows her real identity.
There are always exceptions to the law and that is where ICE comes in. I am sure you are aware that there are exceptions to laws. This lady was able to stay for a year because of an "exception". It does not mean she has become legal. So, I fail to see your point. But as usual, you are one sided.
Jeez... yes, keep laws from being enforced. But hey, they didn't say that they WEREN'T gonna deport her. The benefit to her is that now she has another year to get her house in order.
