He's a good one. Because of the illegal immigration issue, there is an adopted teen girl facing deportation to a country she never knew, because the state fucked up her paperwork. Just another thing they do to make people fear enforcing immigration. Seems to me adoption should be difinative. She is a legal child of a US family, right?

Adopted Vancouver teen faces deportation because no one did the paperwork (http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2009/10/teenager_adopted_by_americans.html)


Catt was placed with American foster parents when she was 5 and adopted by them at 8. Her first inkling of trouble began when she was 16 and tried to get her driver's permit. Driver and Motor Vehicle Services told her she'd need a Social Security number under her adoptive name. When she went to the Social Security Administration, she was told she needed proof of citizenship.

As the months wore on, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services got back to her with the news: She wasn't a citizen.

Catt's mother filed residency paperwork for her daughter. Next began a nearly two-year process of paying fees and waiting. Last month, Catt's mother consulted with immigration attorneys and learned even worse news. Because her daughter was 18, she was subject to a three-year ban from the U.S. because she immigrated here illegally. When she turned 19, she faced a 10-year ban before she would be allowed to apply for residency and return.

Immigration officials say the ban applies only to those 18 and older without legal residency, and minors aren't penalized.


Catt's suit names as defendants DHS, two caseworkers who were assigned to the case, a juvenile attorney who was assigned to Catt while she was a ward of the state and an attorney who oversaw Catt's adoption.

The suit claims that DHS employees had tried to file residency paperwork with immigration officials before Catt was adopted. But the filing failed for reasons that aren't clear, Kramer said. It was DHS' responsibility, the suit claims, to tell Catt and her mother that the filing had failed. If DHS had refiled and the paperwork had gone through, the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 would have automatically made Catt a citizen, the suit alleges.

The suit also claims that DHS wrongly told Catt and her mother that her May 1999 adoption automatically made Catt a U.S. citizen. The suit also faults the attorneys for not advising Catt or her mother that they needed to file residency papers for her to live in the country legally.

@WC:

If the adoptive family was ignorant of what was legally required for adoption and failed to fill out the necessary paperwork, the authorities might have very little choice about deporting, legally speaking.

The law can't be set aside every time there's an inequitable result. On the contrary: officeholders swear to execute it faithfully. You seem to be asking them to set their oath aside, because you think the law should be otherwise than it is.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_dilemma

The logical fallacy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_fallacy) of false dilemma (also called false dichotomy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dichotomy), the either-or fallacy) involves a situation in which only two alternatives are considered, when in fact there are other options.

LnGrrrR
08-03-2010, 02:58 PM
False dilemma can arise intentionally, when fallacy is used in an attempt to force a choice ("If you are not with us, you are against us. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You%27re_either_with_us,_or_against_us)") But the fallacy can arise simply by accidental omission—possibly through a form of wishful thinking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wishful_thinking) or ignorance—rather than by deliberate deception ("I thought we were friends, but all my friends were at my apartment last night and you weren't there.")

Seriously. Why would anyone focus on a girl to deport who was legally adopted here? Now I could at least accept the legal idea of it is all illegals were departed. However, since she had no say in the matter, and her parents did everything asked of them by government officials, there should be no intent to deport her, except in spite by partisans.

Who's focusing? If officials found out she was illegal, then they're taking actions to fix that. Would you argue that they should ignore the problem?

How do you know the parents weren't at fault? Of course their suit is going to say they aren't at fault, but that won't be determined until the court case is held. Where's your radical skepticism? Aren't you skeptical that the parents may have not filled out the forms properly?

The fact that the very idea of anchor babies was brought up, that your specific scenario was considered as an amendment, and it was NOT voted into the bill, would lead one to logically assume that your interpretation of the bill is faulty.

That may be, but it doesn't invalidate the current legal ruling. If you want to lobby your congressman to strike out or replace the 14th Amendment, hey, that's your right. But to argue that courts have been misinterpreting the bill for a hundred+ years is wrong-headed.
I agree with you there. I would say the legal ruling need to go to the supreme court, but both sides are probably afraid of what the results may be.

Uhm.. is the 14th Amendment ratified? I'm pretty sure it is

Don't worry, I'm sure there's someone somewhere who claims that it wasn't, though usually such arguments are reserved for the 16th Amendment. If whottt was still around I'm sure he could tell us whether or not the Klan is still plotting a challenge to the Civil War amendments.

What exactly is the real problem with the standard that birth leads to citizenship? Seems like a clear and straightforward long-lasting standard and grounded clearly in the Constitution.

Naturally some on the right think it's a good idea to turn the issue of illegal immigration into an opportunity to question a century of settled constitutional law on birthright citizenship and to advocate that the state be allowed to stop individuals and ask for their papers. If there were a bunch of Irishmen or Russians sneaking in to the US nobody would give a shit.

I doubt it.

When I called my Congressman's office, they said they were looking into such changes in legislation. I doubt she would be deported. Cause too much of an uproar.

Still, she cannot drive, work, or join the military until this gets fixed.

I doubt it.

I bet they try


Once Multnomah County Circuit Court Judge Pro Tem Charles Corrigan signs off on his ruling, which should be sometime this week, Catt and her mother have up to 30 days to appeal.

I agree, especially considering it was the state of Oregon that gave them Catt to begin with.


Still, she cannot drive, work, or join the military until this gets fixed.

Yeah, that part sucks.
