Video: When Your Mother Is Deported
| Fri Jul. 25, 2008 12:20 PM PDT
In a Texan business park named Export Plaza, the Corrections Corporation of America operates a complex of concrete buildings where illegal immigrants are locked up until they agree to leave the country.
"When you first get there, they tell you you're nobody," says Sergia Santibanez, who spent 18 months inside CCA's Houston Processing Center while she fought to remain in the United States with her children.
Watch her daughter, Luisanna, speak about her mother's detention here:

She was indicted on trumped up charges. She is a U.S. citizen. Now take your racist views somewhere else before I do something I will not regret.

I didn't ask these people to come to my home(country) and take my taxpayer dollars for the best medicare in the world and free education and welfare. Send them back and give the people on welfare their jobs that they(illegals) take from the people on welfare who can't find work.
The indigenous Native Americans didnt ask the white Europeans to come here to rape and kill their people and steal their land.
Nor did they ask the Europeans to have many anchor babies who would do the same thing again in 2008.
The indigenous people should have built detention centers for the deceased rapists and murderers from Europe and thrown the key away leaving them to rot.
Things would be better for the indigenous people in America today.
Monarca, you knowledge of history is deficient. In California, when the Gringo conquered the state, they did it with less than 300 men. At that time, there were only 8000 Mexicans living here(who a few years before(1821), stole the land from Mother Spain). Most of the Mexicans living here were unhappy with the corruption from Mexico city, so they didn't mind putting their lot in with the few thousand Gringos that were living here.
In regards to the "native Americans", they count just as much in Alta California as they count in Mexico. You know how they are viewed in Mexico. That is the subject for another post.
