We first wrote about Kimberly Rivera<\/a> and her brood back in 2009. Her story goes like this; She met her husband, Mario, while they were working at WalMart. They fell in love and married. While living in her parents’ basement, they began procreating, Mario decided that wasn’t the life for him and so he convinced Kimberly that she should join the Army, and she got a fat signing bonus which they promptly spent on a leather couch.<\/p>\n

Then their little dream world fell apart when *surprise* Kimberly was deployed to Iraq (I mean who thought that joining the Army in 2006 would result in being deployed to Iraq). So when she came home in the middle of her tour, Mario then convinced her to desert the Army (and the folks who were waiting for her to come back and do the job she got the fat signing bonus for) and they fled to Canada. The reason Mario talked her into deserting is because he couldn’t take care of the children he’d fathered with Kimberly by himself. I guess parenting was cutting into his video-game playing or something.<\/p>\n

Anyway, now Canada has decided that their taxpayers have been supporting the magic baby-machine long enough and have ordered her to leave the Great White North before September 20th. And that makes Kimberly sad<\/a>; <\/p>\n

“I’m just overwhelmed. I don’t want to face reality. I respect Canada’s laws and I will still proceed with what it is that I have to do, but I’m trying to take it one step at a time so I don’t have meltdowns like earlier,” said Rivera, who stepped away during a press conference Friday when she became visibly upset.<\/p>\n

Rivera’s lawyer, Alyssa Manning, said her client is considering appealing the deportation ruling.<\/p>\n

“The 6 percent of (war) deserters who are punished through incarceration include service personnel who have been publicly outspoken about their criticisms of the Iraq war while AWOL. The government has failed to assess that risk that Kim faces and that needs to be considered,” said Manning.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The article goes on to explain how Kimberly became “disillusioned with the mission in Iraq”. Bullshit, her husband became disillusioned with the series of bad choices he had forced on his wife and wanted to make her abandon her commitment, while he has no real skin in the game. And now, Kimberly, not Mario, faces jail time. <\/p>\n
