quote: it adds up if you realize that they think having a one or 2 bedroom for that size family is a wonderful thing for them. you can feed that family on tortillas and beans for next to nothing. Wait, so you are advocating extreme poverty, cramped living conditions, and unhealthy diets as a family building exercise? quote: im not defending her for having that many children......it was a stupid as hell move. i am defending her in the way that she has done the best she could with what she had-which from the beginning was nothing. and i can not see how sending her back and leaving these kids fractured from each other is the best way to fix it. Your lack of imagination is not our problem, to be totally blunt with you. I can see how sending her back and giving these kids to families who at least might not be totally fucking despondent, having parents who might not model extremely irresponsible behavior, and have something to aspire to other than a minimum wage job is the right thing to do. Yes, the short term sucks, but in the long term it is a much better option for the kids. They are suffering for the sins of the mother, but that's not their fault. However, sparing someone short term emotional pain is not a good reason to leave them in that kind of situation. quote: believe me i think about good grief stop having damn kids already. i could blame the catholic church for all the kids if i wanted to. or her pure ignorance. but the fact is thos kids are here and were in a loving nurturing environment and that has been taken from them and they dont know why. Listen, if you think that is a loving and nurturing environment, this is where we disagree. When I see that kind of thing, I think the parent is despicable and evil. The road to hell is paved with good intentions; I don't care if she tells them she loves them if the are living as you said. This is like saying Stalin wouldn't have been such a bad guy if he just told a few million Russians he really loved them a lot while denying them economic opportunity, starving them to death or murdering them, and destroying the educational system of his country. quote: its a no winner fucking mess. but i still cant help loving the latino families i deal with daily, and seeing how much they are appreciative to be here. im sure many are illegal, but we are forbidden to ask about that because of laws in this country. we just want to educate them and feed them and love them. This is not a latino issue, this is a "really dumb human" issue. There are plenty of US nationals I feel the same way about, only we don't have the luxury of deporting them to spare the kids their idiocy. I also want these kids to be educated, fed, and loved. Preferably by someone capable of doing so responsibly.

this then im off to bed i swear.... Real.....im not advocating poverty, but im from the south and its rampant. my folks came from dirt poor roots, and even though i thought we were rich when i was a kid, we were poor as hell. right now id consider my self one step above poor white trash, but im content! and i know that eeking out a living paycheck to paycheck is not the worst fate one can suffer. paris...brittany....heath....pick ya rich person thats miserable..... there are times when love really is all you need.

I object to your cherry picking here. On average, middle class and upper class families do better for their children than poor ones. There are definitely exceptions, but pointing at a few idiots who are rich doesn't prove anything other than that they are occasionally idiots everywhere. Seriously, look at any credible study; poor and under-educated children, on average, do disproportionately poorly in life compared to middle class or upper class and adequately educated children. One of the main reasons for remaining poor and impoverished, in fact, is having too many children and having to bust ass to support them in the short term whild disadvantaging them, so that the cycle can then repeat! You are advocating what I find to be the weak and easy way out. This is the best opportunity society will have to break a cycle of poverty in this family, as well as give the children a chance to see functional and reasonable behavior from foster parents, rather than the irresponsible and foolish behavior of their mother. So, in conclusion, I disagree with you and I will not be swayed by an appeal to emotion. Sending her back is both what she deserves from a legal standpoint and is the best option for the children.

quote: ORIGINAL: CalifChick She can easily apply to the Mexican Consulate for Mexican citizenship for her children, which will allow her to take her children with her to Mexico, and with citizenship, they can resume their lives there and attend school. Cali I wasn't aware of that...nicely put. I can't imagine the US govt. arguing to not return her children to her under these conditions.

Yes, the Catholic Church DOES forbid birth control. It also forbids sex outside of marriage. Period. End of story. The Catholic Church is NOT at fault. She is for picking and choosing which "rules" that she is going to follow. A loving and nurturing environment is not one where mom is bringing home different men for sex. Men that feel NO responsibility for the children that they help to create. How do these males serve as role-models? They are definatly not good ones. For her male or female children. A loving and nurturing environment is NOT one in which the mom (or parent) ignores the law. A loving and nurturing environment is NOT one in which the mom (or parent) leaves the children unattended or farmed out so that she can go to work and then to pick up more irresponsible men to bring home.

Thank you for posting this story, Seeks. IMO, no purpose is served by separating the mother from her children. Either have them all deported to Mexico or let her apply for amesty to remain in the USA and raise them.

Boo Hoo! popeye: As usual your courtesy and compassion are overwhelming. Now instead of a taxpayer we have 8 welfare recipients. Just gotta love your logic. thompson

Terrible thing, war. Sometimes you lose more than you thought when you began fighting. Just because they lost that land in the war, doesn't mean they need to try to subtly take it back.

cjan -> RE: those damn illegals (3/27/2008 8:23:16 PM)
I gotta say, some of y'all seem like a cold hearted lot. The issue, in this particular case, imo, isn't so much about illegal immigration as it is about separating a mother from her children and them from her.. Having said that, if all illegal immigrants were deported, our agriculture, construction, meat packing, manufacturing , hotel and restaurant industries would collapse. Who's gonna take those low wage shit jobs, you ? Then our economy would be even worse off than it is now, it might well even collapse. So, forget that, it ain't gonna happen. Finally, the politicians love to divide us by distracting us with emotional, knee jerk issues like illegal immigration ( they are easy to hate, aren't they?), gay marriage, women's right to control their own bodies, etc. , while they continue to fuck us in the ass with no lube on issues like the war, corporate corruption ( as in looting pensions, cooking books, etc.), and election reform while their masters and buddies (Halliburton, big oil, U.S. corporation moving there operations offshore, paying no U.S. taxes while reapring the benefits of remaining U.S. corps. often in the form of subsidies, etc.) laugh all the way to the banks they own. Stack all that up and weigh it against the case, which is the only thing,imo,the OP is talking about. Separating one mother from her 8 kids.

quote: ORIGINAL: popeye1250 It didn't say anywhere that she'd be "prevented" from taking them back to Mexico with her. By the same token her children might just as easily sponsor her back into this country...perfectly legal. As far as I'm concerned they're not U.S. Citizens. Sorry popeye...the law says that they are. You are always shouting about your demand that people follow the law...does it not apply to you also?

Plus I've been to Mexico about 30 times. One of my favorite hotels is just down the street/road (Avenida) from El Cerro. I'll bet not one Gringo in 100 knows what famous event occured there.

Okay. . . Only two men. (I doubt this, but whatever.) Those men are WHERE? She is still bringing men that are poor role-models into her home with children. She willfully ignores both US law and Church law. Rules and laws just do not apply to this woman? Now, if those men are also illegal aliens, then there is someone in Mexico that can help her out. She claims to be a "victim" because of the choice HER parents made in bringing her here illegally. Now she cries "victim" again because of the choices she has made regarding HER life HER citizenship status and HER children. At what point does she stop being the perpetual child that needs protection and her thinking done for her and becomes a responsible adult? If she cannot take responsibility for herself and her choices, how can she be fit to be responsible for eight children? Yes, foster care is the RIGHT thing to do for these kids.
