He went to ICE to tell agents he had gotten into college Now he and his brother have been deported

Heart warming story about two brothers that have been "swift-kick" deported.

Apparently they came here as illegal immigrants.

One even got a scholarship to a U.S. college.

The other graduated high school in the U.S. too.

Looks like they had some kind of "reprieve" for a few years under the last Administration.

Not so lucky anymore.

Not even their lawyer could help this time.

Read the article and have plenty of Kleenex in both hands !!

He went to ICE to tell agents he had gotten into college. Now he and his brother have been deported

Two brothers from Gaithersburg were deported to their native El Salvador on Wednesday in what their attorney says was the fastest deportation process he has ever seen.

Lizandro Claros Saravia, 19, is a standout soccer player who had secured a scholarship to play college soccer in North Carolina. His brother, Diego, 22, took extra classes to graduate Quince Orchard High School on time and “has a heart of gold,” a former teacher said.

They entered the country illegally in 2009, however, and although they initially won reprieves from deportation, their efforts to renew those stays were repeatedly denied.

The brothers have no criminal records

Except they were here illegally that is

Looks like they had a few years to remedy their situation .

$10,000-15,000 per year for high school education.

A scholarship that perhaps should go to an American citizen.

Devils advocate.

“They were issued a final order of removal by an immigration judge in 2012. That’s why they were removed,” Bourke said. The brothers were granted a stay of removal in 2013, but subsequent applications for stays were denied.

at 19 he should be a first teamer already, maybe the el salvador league will suit him more.

teehee

These are the type of immigrants we want here, those that are willing to work hard and better themselves, rather than those that come here to take advantage of the American taxpayer (though I do wonder about the scholarship, was that being funded by taxpayers?). That being said, no one is above the law, and if the law was followed, no one can complain. If you don't like the law, elect representatives to have it changed, but you can't just ignore or circumvent laws you don't like.

Perhaps they should have been trying to become legal? Or is that what they were doing? I have no idea how that process actually works.

And just hung around for eight friggin' years.

They should have been thrown into the stocks ... and whipped for eight friggin' years.

Deportation costs money and our deserts need to be fertilized.

You left out the best part...

President Trump’s administration...has made clear that any undocumented immigrant is subject to being expelled from this country.

Most scholarships are merit based, if they earned it on merit why should a citizen get it instead?

Bbwwaahahahaha!
Didn't learn much in high school.

Well the person was not supposed to be here.

Merit does not change immigration status.

Because they shouldn't have been here to compete for it in the first place?

Next thing ... they'd have been trying to vote.

High school is also funded by taxes so they were on the way for basically a free ride as an illegal.

The US isn't the only country with universities or immigration laws.
