It's like that women who was pulled over by campus police in Georgia a few years back Their entire family broke the law on a daily basis, and did so for years. You cannot really expect compassion when you willingly violated our laws for years.

She attempted to become a US citizen but was rejected due to boarder agents claiming she lied. She said she didn't lie and they misunderstood her but she had no recourse around that if the agents said she lied..
Now, the Juarez family will be divided in two: Estela will join her mother in Mexico after she gets settled, while Temo cares for Pamela and pays the bills. Alejandra, 39, petitioned to become a citizen in 2001 but was rejected because she was accused of making a false statement at the border when she sought asylum in 1998, attorney Richard Maney said. He said she was asked about her citizenship and told authorities she had been a student in Memphis, Tennessee for a short time, so border officials apparently thought she was falsely claiming to be an American citizen.
