Thank God her grandmother is tenacious. I suspect this is something that's much more likely to happen to you if you're a person of color and that's one reason African-Americans can't afford to dismiss the immigration debate as not concerning them.  I heard another story of a black college student who was a citizen being deported to the Dominican Republic a while back. ...

I'm read up on the situation and I still feel she should have not been deported. No one knows what could have happened to this minor out there by herself. But b/c she's a black minor people are saying so much shit about her. And I'm already pretty sensitive to issues concerning runaways, minors kicked out of their homes and minors caught up in human trafficking. They should have known she wasn't 22 at the very least. She looks like a baby. They could have looked up dental records, something. Even if she didn't have a record, they could have found her people. I truly believe that. I'm pretty much anti-deportation b/c it is such a manipulative and money-making process. I'm just hoping she'll be released from Columbian jail/processing soon.  Thanks for this post.

It's madness the way some are reacting to this girl's story. Oh and she was pregnant too? Of course you know in the minds of some she's a ghetto hoodrat, but that's just wrong.

Sheep.

That would be, that more people see that iyt affects us all as minorities and people of color negatively. That’s all I’ve ever hoped for.

I've been trying to stay out of immigration issues, concentrating on black/white racial equality -- nobody else has the history of being property, 3/5 of a person, and so on -- but this shows it affects all of us. Way to go! Dammit, Ripp, you got me on this one.
