Huffington Post<\/a> and the SPLC<\/a> have taken up the cause of Jessica Colotl, an illegal immigrant in Georgia<\/a> who was discovered to be in this country contrary to our immigration laws.<\/p>\n

Colotl’s family came undocumented to America from Mexico when she was 11. After she was arrested in late March for driving without a license, the sheriff’s office turned her over to immigration officials and put her in an Alabama detention center. Her ordeal was only just beginning.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ordeal? Folks who willingly break laws don’t suffer “ordeals” – they suffer the consequences of their actions. ICE cut her a break and let her out of being deported for a year so she could finish her college studies. WTH? <\/p>\n

The Cobb County sheriff was having nothing of this, though. He arrested her again, but this time for lying to the arresting officers in the first incident. SPLC says;<\/p>\n

“We are very concerned that the sheriff\u2019s office brought this trumped-up charge to retaliate against Jessica for speaking out about her case,” said SPLC Legal Director Mary Bauer. “Rather than abide by the decision of federal immigration officials, they\u2019ve decided to take matters into their own hands. It\u2019s an outrageous example of how the 287(g) program is being misused by local authorities to pursue undocumented immigrants who represent no criminal threat.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, um, if she hadn’t broken three laws (by my count) they’d have nothing on her, Mary. Driving without a license, lying to the police, not to mention she shouldn’t be here any-damn-way. Since she’s college age, she could have chosen to return and rectify the dilemma that her parents created for her. I’m sure they have colleges in Mexico, too. I wonder if the US taxpayers are footing her tuition bill.<\/p>\n

And it’s all coming at a time when I’m scrapping together $800 for my wife’s green card renewal. My heart pumps purple piss for Jessica.<\/p>\n
