Immigration officials say activist's role didn't spur mom's Mesa arrest
Erika Andiola
FILE - In this Aug. 15, 2012 file photo, young immigrant Erika Andiola, of Mesa, Ariz., poses for a portrait at a site where people line up to get guidance on a new federal program, called Deferred Action, that would help them avoid deportation in Phoenix, Arizona. The mother and a brother of Andiola were arrested Thursday evening, Jan. 10, 2013 at the family's Phoenix-area home. Andiola says ICE agents said there was a long-pending deportation order for her mother. The brother was released early Friday, Jan. 11, 2013, while the mother was transported to an immigration detention center in Florence. Another brother says the family has been told by the Mexican consulate in Mexico that the mother would be released after being returned to Phoenix. (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin, File)

The new nationwide program, which the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services began accepting those applications today, will allow young immigrants to get work permits but not a path to citizenship. The idea was to stop deporting many illegal immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children.(AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin)

Deport them. This is the only country in the world where you can openly flaunt that you're here illegally and be seen as a hero.
And, for those who say immigration enforcement is racist, what about the group La Raza which openly promotes hispanic interests, and the group's name literally translates to "the race?"
I don't hear any hispanics organizing downtown marches against La Raza.

There it is, PROOF WHY she's an activist. Her Mommy is a CRIMINAL! DEPORT THEM ALL!

I for one would like to know who ordered the bus to turn around and then release the mother. That sounds awfully suspicious and must go pretty far up the food chain.

If her being an activist didn't cause her deportation --- it SHOULD have.
DEPORT ALL ILLEGALS --- NO SANCTUARY -- NO DREAM ACT
