Mario and Cristina's sojourn in America began in a busy migration year, 2003, when they walked through the Arizona desert with their two oldest sons. Their youngest son was born in Memphis.

The parents said later that they came for simple reasons: Cristina wanted funds to renovate their house in Mexico; Mario wanted better education for their boys.

They planned to stay in the US for three years, earn money, and go back. But their sons settled into American life, doing well in school and learning English. Mario and Cristina never learned to speak English well, but earned a solid income running their own painting and remodeling business. Their oldest sons received social security cards through DACA, President Barack Obama's 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

More Mexicans are crossing the border

When DACA is killed; the older kids need to leave the US and, they need to take their anchor kid brother home, too.

So they had no conscience about violating our immigration laws and working here illegally? How many American contractors did they undercut operating their business I wonder? It seems if illegals want something they don't care how they get it or whom it negatively impacts. What are their kids learning from them? It can't be respect for the rule of law or respect for other's rights.

Apprehensions of illegal immigrants at the Southwest border continued to rise in December, showing that the border crisis that surprised Washington, D.C., policymakers in fiscal year 2014 has not abated.
DHS said Wednesday that 43,272 people were apprehended in December, well above the 29,528 people apprehended three Decembers ago, when a flood of immigrants caused a humanitarian crisis at the border.

It's too bad Eric Garcetti, corrupt criminal politician, isn't planning to go back south. What a good riddance that would be. And take Tattooed Tony before he gets a chance to become CA Governor.

So much for the claims by the pro-illegals that illegal immigration from our southern border is at a net zero. Even if there are many leaving (which I doubt) there are still millions of them here.

Oh good. Nice to hear they are going back where they came from. Now we only need about 30,000,000 more to do the same.

So their painting business took jobs and tax revenue from Americans, the three kids got a free education courtesy of their state and local tax payers and under Obama's DACA they got Soc Sec cards? Entitling them to welfare, scholarships, in state tuition, food stamps, medicaid? While they owned a house in Mexico...wow What a great country! Problem is the side paying for it got nothing...gtfo cant afford to pay for your dreams anymore. Any liberal who thinks otherwise should volunteer their own paychecks to pay for this
