An immigration rights activist whose own undocumented status was exposed by a drunken-driving arrest has lost her six-month legal battle to remain in the country.

Wendy Uruchi Contreras, a Virginia organizer for the immigrant rights group CASA, is scheduled to be deported to Spain this week after last-ditch appeals were denied by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, according to her husband, Giovani Jimenez.

“We are devastated,” said Jimenez, who lives in Fredericksburg, Va., with their American-born children, Alex, 13, and Lucia, 7. “My children are crying, but we know there’s nothing more we can do.”

Below is a comment stolen from James:

So if you're a pro-immigrant activist with the wind at your back, addressing those of us who believe in protecting our own country, laws, identity, and way of life: 
-Call us evil; 
-Call us racist; 
-Call us xenophobic; 
-Tell us we're anti-family; 
-Tell us we owe you; 
-Tell us that our prosperity has little to do with innovation and industry; 
-Rather, tell us that our prosperity is due to theft; 
-Tell us that, though our prosperity is tainted, you wish to enjoy it. 
-Tell us, now that your numbers have exploded, that you wish to take the reins of our government. 
 
If you're a pro-immigrant activist against whom the wind has turned, addressing those of us who believe in protecting our own country, laws, identity, and way of life: 
-Beg for clemency; 
-Cry; 
-Show us pictures of your children. 
 
10-20 years ago, we would've been sympathetic. If you want sympathy now,

One of my absolute favorite Westerns  - this about the James and Fords.  And Youngers, Millers, Belle & Sam Starr.

Jesse James, the bank and railroad robber, not the race car driver.

The above answers are what I expected from Y'all.  None of you can answer my question. Best either can't or won't, I don't know which.

No one said they can't, they said they did, you won't accept
the answer, I say you should, move on, like in  (dot)org that is.
Have yourself a mobumer/hildabeast day

What question is he talking about?

Best, you posted this and said it was stolen from James. I asked "who is James?" All the answers I got was something one would expect from an elementary school kid.  You posted it, can you tell us who James is?
