But July misses her parents, who are unlikely to visit Peru because of their illegal status in the U.S.

July has only seen them in photographs and in video chats with a webcam.

"She cries," Juica said.


What pathetic people would do this? Never see their other daughter - because they can't use her for food stamps or for staying illegally in the USA.

The abandoned daughter is the only sympathetic figure in this whole case.
You are absolutely right! What contemptible parents!

How many more of the criminal invaders are heartless opportunists?

And we are supposed to be swayed by all the sob stories of parents being "wrenched" from their anchor babies when these child abandoning monsters are finally deported?
Not me!

And of course Calderone and other Central and South American "leaders" are encouraging the criminal invaders...for the money.

Exactly how many millions of our dollars are flowing back to those countries each month?

How long until you think she will be over here, too?? Probably with the help of our government.

These kinds of people are despicable.

I live in San Diego. If some of you posters in other parts think it's bad there, come down here.

I hate the fact that I have to wait in the Emergency Room when I have a large laceration from a dog bite because an illegal has a cold and doesn't have insurance!

Many times, I've asked illegal alien supporters how supportive they'd be if their child had to go to the ER and WAIT IN LINE behind illegals . . .

well.. at last count it was about 28 billion U.S. dollars per year for Mexico in remittance payments, you are off in the millions part. It's billions per month counting all the south american countries. Really really sad... alot of money that could be spent here to bolster the economy.

Disgusting parasites who abandoned their first born to "escape poverty", but no doubt if they were detained for deportation we'd have yet another story of how our laws were "ripping families apart". Please, enough already, when will the govt agencies and elected officials of OUR country start protecting OUR rights?

I want to add some things to this discussion . . .

From the article, this jumped out:

"I'm really proud that a young girl of Peruvian origin is highlighting the enormous problem with Latin American immigration in the United States," President Alan Garcia told reporters last week.

He said it would be scandalous if her parents were deported.

"Do you know how much President Obama and Mrs. Michelle Obama would stand to lose?" he said. Garcia called the Arizona law a "completely irrational response" to the illegal-immigration question, and said he would express his thoughts on the matter to President Obama during his visit to Washington.


(1) He refers to the enormous PROBLEM with Latin American immigration - but he is NOT referring to it as being ILLEGAL, eh?

Our government, once again, is openly DEFYING the law.


(2) But the line I have bold highlighted is what jumped out most:

Doesn't that sound like BLACKMAIL??

Doesn't that sound like a THREAT??

Just WHAT is he suggesting would happen if they are deported?

If the POTUS had any . . . uh, COURAGE, he would deport them immediately because (1) IT IS THE LAW and (2) just to see what this Peruvian jerk would do about it!

To everyone reading this, think about it: Say you have a friend who broke a law and could/should be punished in some way for it by authorities, and YOU decided to write or call the White House and say: "do you know how much President Obama would stand to lose if he enforces this law and punishes this person?"

WHAT do you suppose might happen? I think you might get a knock on the door from some form of law enforcement authority, to interrogate you about making a threat.


(3) And then this guys says he will "express his thoughts on the matter" during his visit to Washington.

Oh, so yet another leader from a foreign nation is going to come into our country and rake the government over the coals for our laws (that aren't even being enforced!) . . . huh.


WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA????!!!!


(4) Seems to me, there ought to be some way that we legal citizens could file some kind of class action lawsuit against ICE, Obama and whoever else for violating OUR rights by not enforcing the law.


(5) And JUST by virtue of the government OPENLY NOT enforcing the law by refusing to deport JUST THIS ONE case of illegals . . . doesn't that give ANYONE the right to claim discrimination if they are punished by the law for committing any kind of crime?

And then where does it end? It would be anarchy.

It's a case of "if you are going to enforce one law, you have to enforce ALL laws, and if you don't enforce one, then you CAN'T enforce ANY."

Wow, what a tangled web they are weaving . . .

Yea, I had a weird feeling about his comment on what the President and First Lady had "to lose." For these countries that can't even take care of their own nationals to continue to come here and tell us about our country or to make comments like this is ridiculous. It also makes you question their view on our illegal immigration situation. Are they trying to take advantage of us? We already know the answer to that though, yea, they are and their comments show it. Is he saying that the President and The White House will lose support? Votes? Seriously, the media, the administration and The President need to stop putting so much emphasis on the illegal immigrant vote and opinion. Yea, that is asking a lot because millions of them are here, but if all the "Oh, we need their vote" attitude was eliminated, no one would really be so concerned with pleasing them. Basically, the politicians who are trying to gain their trust need to be stopped in their path as they try to use illegal immigrants for their power and position.

I wonder how long it will be before the abandoned daughter is given fast pass access to legal immigration?

The worst thing about that whole story is that the parents left their older daughter behind in Peru. I don't think good parents would do that. Since the mother was already pregnant when they were in the US one might think they planned the whole thing, knowing their daughter would be a US citizen when born in the US.
I think the daughter should be allowed to stay in the US and when she turns 18, her parents should have to return to Peru, which by the way is not all that poor a country.
