"You're making a veteran suffer": Veteran's wife addresses Trump as she heads back to Mexico
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Juarez was ordered to deport to Mexico under President Trump's "zero tolerance" immigration policy.
On Friday, she spoke directly to the president in Spanish. "He thinks he's punishing me, and maybe I deserve it for having come the way I did," she said. "You're not making me suffer more, you're making a veteran suffer, and you always say you love veterans.
" Juarez has been in the country for two decades. She married Marine veteran Sgt. Temo Juarez, a naturalized American citizen who served two years in combat in Iraq. Their daughters were born in the U.S.
"My mom is a good person and she's not a criminal so f*** ICE," one of her daughters said.
Her undocumented status was exposed five years ago during a routine traffic stop. She was ordered to check in with ICE agents twice a year since she was considered a low priority case.
Her husband, who voted for Mr. Trump, said he didn't think that vote would affect his family.
They've spent $20,000 on legal bills fighting to stay together. Rep. Darren Soto said that fight is not over.
"What justice does this serve," he said. "We couldn't even get the Trump administration to work on this particular case with a military spouse who has done everything helping her husband's service to this country.
CBS News reached out to ICE but did not hear back as of Friday evening.
The family's plan is to split up, with the younger daughter joining their mother in Mexico and the older daughter staying with their father, who has said in reports that he doesn't blame President Trump for his wife's departure.

I read this story today and laughed my butt off. So......the wife of a veteran is being deported.
Of course the husband (who voted for Trump) doesn't have any ill feelings towards Trump and the policy.
Well Duh! - he get's to kick his wife of 20 years to the curb under the guise of an immigration policy. hahahahahahaha
Well be careful what you vote for..
He seems quite pleased with the outcome of his vote. That's why I'm laughing. The joke was on the wife.
Elections have consequences...
Wonder why he wasted so much money then ?
From the article: They've spent $20,000 on legal bills fighting to stay together. Rep. Darren Soto said
If this guy really wanted his wife gone, Why the hell would he have deleted his resources trying to keep her here ? Even for appearances.
"Sorry baby, it's just the rules... so long, good luck , and dont let the door hit ya on the way out."
............................................
As far as not blaming trump... well he'd have to blame himself first for his vote.
Well $20k may have been donated by good doers.
Yes he has no one to blame for his vote. It’s called voting against ones own interests. There seems to be many foolish and ignorant trump supporters. They aren’t the brightest our country has to offer.
Great story, PJ, although it didn't make me laugh. Donald Trump is a truly evil man.
Don't be too upset. The husband got rid of the wife and can blame it on someone else. He should have at least pretended he was upset.
You sound rather jaded...
No, not at all. Let's look at the facts:
Seems pretty clear that the husband is looking at this situation as one big fat win.
Blame it on someone else???? How 'bout putting the blame on both of them. He knew the legal processes which is why he's a Naturalized Citizen. She, obviously, didn't bother.
My first thought was "Karma". The dude votes for a racist xenophobe and now he's surprised by the result? What an idiot.
if past presidents had done their job she would never have gotten in our country in the first place...
and actually, there are only three things to tell her.
ciao... hit the bricks, and stay out.
Do you feel the same way about Melania Trump?
I have no problem with legal immigration.
Why do you ask these questions. Of course they don't have a problem with the white ones. hahahaha
Trump's first wife bragged about marrying a Canadian in name only so she could get to the US. Then she came to the US and worked illegally as a ski instructor, married Trump and had her anchor babies - the mini Trumps. It's all in her book she published a couple years back.
a "gaggle" of Trump followers don't seem to have a problem with the white illegal immigrants.
only 3 problems with your post.
I was not asked about trumps first wife...
I do not care what color an illegals skin is.
making your post complete bullschit.
next time, try not to be so passive aggressive (talking around me) and confront me directly instead
btw, I am not white. try red.
cheers
Melania and her anchor babies should be deported back to whatever commie shithole they slithered out of.

Why do you hate legal immigrants? You seem to bend over backward for criminal illegal ones.
I was talking in generalities when it comes to Trump followers and not you specifically.
I really don't care what color you claim to be. shrug
The good thing is we can take a positive away from this. You can skip my posts completely if you don't like my point of view.
so ya say... and that means nothing to me.
when was the last time you laughed?
me?
2 mins ago.
don't hold back... go all the way and call me a nazi also.
when you wish to discuss securing the border so people do not have problems like the person in this article? let me know.
seriously... should we post a sign every 50ft that says entry this way w/a big arrow to the LEGAL entry point?
I bet if we billed Mexico for every person they let cross illegally it would all stop on a dime.
and then I found this... LOL
cheers
I was being facetious about the "anchor baby" thing. She was a US citizen when she had Trump's evil spawns. Technically they are not anchor babies.
Lol, yes 8 ball, that's my main problem, as anyone here can tell you, I never laugh! I see you reported me for giving back to you exactly what I gave to you. Just like your hero Trump, you righties are mostly whiny little crybabies who can dish it out but can't take it. (Go run to Perrie again!) Double cheers!
Nonsense, Melania flew back to her commie shithole country to deliver her babies, then flew back to the US. I have some 'people' in her commie shithole country, and you wouldn't BELIEVE what they are telling me!
Make that 'giving back to you exactly what you gave me' Triple cheers!
Why, I'm just trying to emulate our fine president, Tex, although, I have an awful lot more things to make up if I want to approach his level!
This article isn't about me but I'm flattered that you have taken an interest.
My personal opinion, I do think based on what the mini Trump clan has done and is doing regarding their business dealings is evil.

However Melaria is responsible for the "chain migration" which her husband and other xenophobes condemn since it was status which allowed her parents to move to the US.
I wonder why Trump doesn't send them back, or is it OK when the immigrants are white?
Scumbag's always mouthing his platitudes about veterans and we often hear veterans groups lauding veterans' spouses for their sacrifices and service to the country. Just one more example of what an evil, dishonest phony sack-o-shit Trump is and the scum he hires are.
I can't disagree with much of what you say but let's not overlook that the hubby doesn't seem at all put out that the wife it getting deported or that she's taking one of the daughters with her.
He doesn't regret his vote for Trump at all.......... seems like a pretty cheap divorce.
Well, what do you expect from a guy who sides with a serial adulterer and pathological liar. But the husband being a scumbag doesn't negate the injustice done to this woman.
Oh - following the laws and the Constitution makes you a scum bag????
so... illegal immigrants face two problems
the trip here is dangerous and then after possibly years... their lives can be uprooted again.
learning there are legal consequences for ones actions can be very painful. but it is a lesson they must learn.
following the law is how we have a society. anything less? is less than society and that is not good enough.
however I think not securing the border is the biggest crime.
to not secure the border?
is the same as hanging a back of crack in front of an addict and then busting them when they reach for it.
do we not call that entrapment?
on TV they would call it Bait-Country
the borders look open, haha. but are they really? find out in our next episode of Bait-Country, coming soon on fox.
do they leave the borders open just to arrest illegals? think about it for a while.
more questions for the true philosophers in the room
if we had to send our kids to Canada to work, knowing they would be breaking the law and could be jailed, so they could send the money back to us? so "we" could afford to live?? do ya pimp out your kid much?
so, why do we not just help them fix or flip their corrupt governments? and better the lives of millions of people?
we go to war for oil, we are still in afghanistan for lithium.... anyone seen syria lately? we un-built that.
and yet, just helping people for peoples sake? is not worth a war or two.
what is the point of such power if one does not use it often to better the lives of others?
I reckon this is a very strange world we live in
It's always so edifying to read the comments of those so dedicated to holding one group of disadvantaged people to the strict consequences of their actions while doing everything they possibly can to not just prevent a powerful one from facing his consequences but actually backing his efforts to subvert the cause of justice.
So lawbreakers are now disadvantaged people????
This, of course, is another example of Scumbag's ICE picking the easy, safe targets. Scumbag frequently tries to tout how ICE goes after the really bad hombres, like MS-13. Nothing could be further from the truth. Scumbag's ICE goes after the women and children, even a woman in hospital in the middle of getting chemotherapy. They're about as likely to go after really dangerous targets as I am to becoming the King of France.
Sadly for her, that just gives Trump a boner (or what counts for one when "he" is concerned).
Illegal actions have consequences.
E.A Being Apolitical I have to ask::
Is that like the British Empire making the New World Independence " Ill Eagle " :-)
No, it's more like Britain Eddy (the eagle) Edwards flying over a ski jump!
Reagan tried to give the illegal immigrants a break. He made them legal with the promise from the politicians to end illegal immigration. The only problem was he did it just before the Democrats took over both Houses toward the end of Presidency. I'm not blaming it entirely on the Democrats, but the promise ended the day it was made and no President or member of Congress has done anything about it that would be beneficial for this country or others who broke the law by entering this country illegally since that date.
During Obama's time in Office until September 21, 2015 the U.S. deported more than half a million parents. This scenario has happened many times, not just during the last 20 months. Surprise, there has been no outrage that I know of before Trump was elected even though from January 2009 until September 2015 similar situations with children born in this country lost their parents due to no other President attacking the problem and looking for solutions to solve it.
Think of it this way. If you have a problem, you have to be brave enough to deal with it and face the consequences. If you never attempt to nip it in the bud, so others won't face the same fate in the future, then it is you who have failed, not the person who suffers the criticism for trying to end the entire problem the only way it can be ended.
Now, the law changed long before Trump became President where you couldn't keep children away from their parents or in the cages like the ones you saw by mistake when this topic became national news. The photos were children held in cages during Obama's Presidency, but the people were led to believe these were the children Trump had caged. Stock photos do that sometimes.
It may take months or even years to authorize an illegal immigrant legal status in the United States. If they have brought children with them the only way to accomplish this is to separate them or get them to agree to come back for a court date and then releasing them into this country, usually never to be seen until years later and voila things like the incident in this article becomes a reality for some poor soul and his or her family.
So, shouldn't we only allow people who have, let us say, passed the test to become legal in this country come on in or should we have them sign a promissory note, release them and let them live with the reality that one day in the future they may experience the same thing this lady and her family has experienced?
