I blame Obama and SJWs for her stupidity – but her parents most of all

Yes. Stupidity.  If you know that you are illegal, and make it public, and make it well known that you are going to speak in public at a certain time and place, you are Stupid.  You are also Stupid if you didn’t listen to the political campaign of now President Donald Trump who basically said one thing over and over and over again:

I will see to it that the Law will be enforced.  Period.

ICE nabs young ‘dreamer’ applicant after she speaks out at a news conference

About two weeks ago, Daniela Vargas hid in the bedroom closet of her Jackson, Miss., home after watching immigration officials handcuff her father in the family’s driveway. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained the 22-year-old’s father and brother, Argentines who were living in the country illegally, amid the Trump administration’s aggressive deportation effort that has riled immigrant communities across the country.

Yeah, she was really dreaming that things would stay the same as they were under Obama (that immigration laws were all but abolished for the sake Open Borders).  He made it clear that The Rule of Law came before any SJW illegal alien advocacy.  What was she (and her father and brother) thinking???

Ah yes, decisions have consequences. Methinks she should have used a calendar:

Although Vargas was in the process of renewing her status as a “dreamer” to remain in the United States legally — a status she had allowed to lapse — she feared that immigration officials would come after her next.

And then she doubled down:

But those fears did not stop Vargas from speaking out at a news conference Wednesday at Jackson City Hall, alongside immigrant rights advocates.

Patsie.  I’m betting that those “immigrant rights advocates” (notice the absence of the word “illegal”?) were all here legally.  They knew better – and turned her into cannon fodder. And then the Law doubled down on her:

“Today my father and brother await deportation, she said, “while I continue to fight this battle as a dreamer to help contribute to this country which I feel that is very much my country.” After leaving the news conference with her friend, two law enforcement cars pulled her over. ICE agents reportedly opened the car door, telling Vargas, “you know who we are and you know why we’re here,” her friend, Jordan Sanders, told Univision. Then, they handcuffed her and took her into custody.

She basically delivered herself to them.

Vargas’s detention shocked and angered immigrant rights advocates, who feared ICE officials may have retaliated against her for speaking publicly about her case. It also heightened existing anxieties that “dreamers” registered under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program created by President Barack Obama could now be targeted for deportation.

Crocodile tears. Given that Trump has already deferred action on Dreamers (a mistake, I believe, in allowing an illegal Executive Order have precedence), they’re jawboning in a vacuum.

 

…Vargas was 7 years old when she came to the United States from Cordoba, Argentina, with her father, mother and brother on a three-month visitor’s visa in 2001. Their visa expired, but the family stayed, establishing a life in Mississippi. Her mother eventually moved out of the state after her parents divorced, she told the Jackson Free Press.

Once again, I question and hold the parents responsible and accountable – something that I find very few want to do.  It’s always “don’t punish the kids”.  While I can see that side of the argument, it is often the Conservatives that only wish that the Law be followed that catch hell – but never the parents.  They were the ones that decided that the RISK / reward ratio was sufficient to go for it – with a better life for there kids never believing they would be them that had to face the music.

No, I don’t go for the “separating families” schtick – the parents deliberately put themselves and their children at risk and did it willingly.  Not me, not you, no one else. The PARENTS did this – voluntarily.  If anyone is at fault, it is them.  Daniella should be mad, not at the US, not at the Law, and not Trump – but should be mad at her parents.

 

…“ICE conducts targeted immigration enforcement in compliance with federal law and agency policy,” the statement said. “ICE does not conduct sweeps or raids that target aliens indiscriminately.”

This from RedState is mostly true (and also mentioned “calendar”):

What I don’t have sympathy for is people who break the law and the flout their lawlessness by showing up to lambaste the government at these rallies. There is no reason that behavior should be tolerated. Not only is it corrosive of respect for the law it is a sure marker that the person doing it is a crappy person and we should deport them while we have the chance.
