Rosa Ortega

mercredi 22 février 2017 à 01:00

Rosa Ortega, who has lived in the US since infancy, will be deported to Mexico because she voted in Texas without authorization. The normal penalty is probation.

She didn't try to hide her identity, she just didn't know that she wasn't allowed to vote, and the state didn't tell her.

Adults who have lived in the US since infancy should be entitled to citizenship even if they commit little crimes like this. (That doesn't mean they shouldn't be punished.)
