as an immigrant myself who has had his own struggles with immigration, I can only imagine what you are going through. I stand in solidarity with you!!!!

My boyfriend had problems with ICE also and it is nerve racking for those who are involved with the people going through it also.

and they are unhappy about it?

Or were they illegally in Canada too?

she faces deportation and will have to go to Canada where she will have to start all over.

As it is, she may have First Nations heritage, and even though Canada may be considered a good option for most U.S. residents, the First Nations people there do not have it as "good" as other Canadians. Growing up in Texas may have been better for her family and given her more opportunities.

Even if that wasn't the case, I'd be upset about deportation if I was finishing up my education or starting a career in the state I grew up in, thinking I was legal. That's an expense not easily overcome.

Myself I was born in South Carolina, grew up in South Dakota (so at least I stayed in the South), went to school at Minnesota and got my first job in Utah. Quit that job, moved back to South Dakota, to Minnesota, to Wisconsin and then went to graduate school in Nebraska. Got a worthless master's degree then moved back to Wisconsin for ten years and then Iowa for three before selling my property there for a huge loss and moving to Kansas. I sorta HAD to do all that moving because I could not find a real job after I quit the first one. I had to leave my hometown - because I could not find a job there, any job, and then I was bopping around looking for jobs. Couldn't find anything, so I went to graduate school to get another worthless degree.

Of course, after going to school in Minneapolis that was the LAST place I wanted to look for a job. My degrees might have been worth something if I had been, like my niece, willing to work in a major metro area.
