Today, Jersey’s father — construction worker Mario Vargas — may still need a miracle to avoid being kicked out of the country. He was arrested in 2013 in Tennessee and locked up for driving under the influence. He was released on bond several months later, but his deportation was formally begun earlier this month in immigration court.

Uh; lawbreakers NEED to be "terrified". It's on YOUR despicable kind you're trying to drag your kids through this mess; NOT the US wanting to enforce its laws.

Though these words were spoken in 2014 they seem like pearls of wisdom to be heeded today:

For someone who has never been a judge or held a position of authority in government, compassion is often thought to be the difficult but admirable thing to do. I have been a judge and can tell you that the easiest thing to do is go easy and appear compassionate. Those judges are usually lavished with affection in the courtroom. But that is destructive to a peaceable country.

It is easy to give away what has been entrusted to government, then bask in affection from those to whom you’ve given other people’s earnings. It is far more difficult to say, “No, you violated the law, and the rule of law requires that you be treated as other lawbreakers. You must go to the back of the line behind those even more desperate who are following the rules.”

As a judge, I experienced occasions of a courtroom full of friends clamoring for leniency that I would not have given to someone else, so I applied the law impartially. Being impartial and living with the threats takes more courage than always acting “compassionately.” It is easiest to succumb and give special treatment when the masses are begging, “Come on, have a heart, give him another chance.” It takes more courage to do what your mind tells you is right when your heart is breaking for those affected, and the death threats come because you followed the law and did not favor some over others.

Can't read the link because it says I've reached my limit this month on free articles. But for the love of God, couldn't they have found another "terrified illegal" who hadn't been jailed for drunk driving in Tennessee? How many times did this f'stick drive drunk before he finally got busted? According to MADD a suspect has driven drunk on average 80 times before he/she is finally arrested.

No empathy. Zero.

But give me 30 minutes and I could post plenty of stories about American citizens whose lives and families have been decimated by violence perpetrated by illegals.

Deportation is giving illegals that commit a crime a free pass if you ask me.
