Do you think Andres should have been deported?


43 y/o Respected Coffee Farmer Andres Magana Ortiz from Hawaii was forced to leave his wife and 3 children and return to Mexico after living in the US for 28 years!!

He came to America illegally when he was 15 with his mother and moved to hawaii to pick coffee as a migrant worker.

Now he's one of the most respected coffee farmers in the Kona district

He's been trying to get legal citizenship and his wife and daughter both filed for permission to let him stay as the relative of a ctizien and even had Hawaii's congressional delegation try to intervenet but the Department of Homeland Security ordered him OUT by March

After his lawyer appealed the order he was ordered to leave again but granted a 30 day reprieve and agreed to leave voluntarily after the agreement could not be reached..

He left Hawaii on Friday night and even paid for his own tickets out to a country where he no longer has family..

His 20 y/o daughter, Victoria Magana Ledesma said "We said our goodbyes at home. My dad decided it was better for my brother and my sister to not go all the way to the airport"

Andres said "Very, very sad and very disappointed in many ways but there's not much i can do. Just follow what i have to do and hopefully in a little bit, things can get better"

His family is still fighting to get back as his case gained national attention when a 9th US Circuit Judge criticized the Trump administration for deporting him after Trump said there was "bad hombres" in America that have to go....obviously his family said he was not one of them.

Do you think he should have been deported?

Andres and his family -

I will agree with you there. However, after over 20 years this guy can't get legal citizenship? I see red flags all over the place with that.

28 years is more than enough time to get citizenship. He probably didn't start trying until 6 months ago. Also his mother illegally brought him here knowing the consequences. They've no one to blame but themselves. I do feel sorry for him and his family, especially the children but it's nobody's fault but his own. In 28 years time he should have known this could happen

Listen, i'm not saying it's not unfortunate that it had to come to this. However, If after 28 years in this country illegally, has he been paying taxes this whole time? I find that hard to believe. So yes, it is a problem and he needs to go.

I voted no

The only argument i could think of is that he had over 20 years to file for citizenship and hasn't. But in this case i feel he should have been allowed to stay give him a work visa or something till he can get citizenship

My only assumption, after 28 years, he loved our money and our country, but didn't feel like he needed to pay taxes.

If he's been trying for 28 years to get citizenship but the government made too many hoops to jump through for him to ever possibly get it, then deporting him is 100% wrong. If it was possible for him to get citizenship but he simply didn't try hard enough, then unfortunately it's a correct and legal decision.

Morally speaking, I don't think he was a threat and shouldn't have been deported regardless of the circumstance. But legally, if him getting citizenship was realistically possible but he didn't, then that's on him.

Im all for deportation of criminals that don't contribute to American society. However this man has property that he pays taxes for and runs a business that stimulates the American economy. The money he earns goes back into the local economy because thats where he and his family live. Dont be dumb CE. Its counterproductive.

(You cant pretend you are all a bunch of angels that never broke the law.) And i didnt vote in this topic because something tells me we are not getting the full story. Whats his criminal history?

We cant jump to conclusions because we don't have his criminal history. I can already see both sides defending an argument that fits their narrative. Its pathetic.

if a person has a family but refuses to renew the license to their car

should they not go to jail because it would separate them from their family?


see, you would claim crossing the border is a harmless crime

what is the terrible harm of not renewing the license to my vehicle? you understand that not doing that means I will go to jail when caught right?


https://www.defensivedriving.com/blog/can-you-get-pulled-over-for-expired-tags/
*If you get pulled over twice with registration that is expired by more than six months, you could face stiff penalties as severe as going to jail. More commonly, however, you will be issued a criminal traffic citation and a notice to appear in court.



we can pity the man
the situation is bad

but he literally made his family full well knowing he could be removed any time
he still chose to do so regardless

Because liberals just want us to let everyone stay if they are illegal. Instead of trying to compromise you do the same thing the other side does, our way or nothing.
