A Mexican woman with two American-born children, who had lived in this country for two decades, was deported immediately when she checked in with immigration offices for her annual visit. This is the result of Trump’s executive order to deport undocumented immigrants who have committed a crime. The crime in this case was that she once used a fake social security card. We can all rest easier tonight knowing that Ms. Garcia de Rayos no longer threatens our nation’s security.

In the area where I live on Long Island, there are many farms and vineyards. If the Immigration Service deports all undocumented immigrants, the local economy will crash. Perhaps Trump will persuade coal miners in West Virginia to come to the North Fork to tend the vineyards at minimum wage.

CNN reports:

“In a matter of days, Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos has gone from being one of about 11 million unauthorized immigrants in the United States to a poster child for critics of Donald Trump’s hard line on immigration and his promise to increase deportations.

“Garcia de Rayos, 35, emerged from her seemingly ordinary life after a yearly check-in Wednesday at the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Phoenix.

“It was her eighth visit since her 2008 arrest and conviction for using a fake Social Security number. After each meeting, she was released and returned to her family in Mesa.

“This time, Garcia de Rayos was detained and deported to Mexico within 24 hours in what her attorney claims is a direct result of Trump’s crackdown.

“ICE officials insist there was nothing special about her situation: She had committed a crime and was ordered deported.

“Now the case has become a flashpoint in the heated national dispute over Trump’s executive order that says any undocumented immigrant convicted or charged with a crime that hasn’t been adjudicated could be deported.”

The New York Times gives more details. Her husband is also undocumented.

“PHOENIX — For eight years, Guadalupe García de Rayos had checked in at the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement office here, a requirement since she was caught using a fake Social Security number during a raid in 2008 at a water park where she worked.

“Every year since then, she has walked in and out of the meetings after a brief review of her case and some questions.

“But not this year.

“On Wednesday, immigration agents arrested Ms. Rayos, 35. Despite efforts by her family and others who tried to block, legally and physically, her removal from the United States, she was deported Thursday to Nogales, Mexico, the same city where she crossed into the United States 21 years ago.

“Immigration agents “said she’s a threat, but my wife isn’t a threat,” her husband said in an interview.

“As one of the estimated 11 million unauthorized immigrants in the United States, Ms. Rayos was always a candidate for deportation, but as a matter of practicality, the Obama administration had focused its finite resources on removing the most serious criminals. The government even won a deportation order against Ms. Rayos in 2013, but had not carried it out, instead merely requiring her to check in periodically.

“That all changed under President Trump, who ran on a pledge of being tougher on illegal immigration. Among the 18 executive orders that he has issued since taking office on Jan. 20 is one stipulating that undocumented immigrants convicted of any criminal offense — and even those who have not been charged but are believed to have committed “acts that constitute a chargeable criminal offense” — have become a priority for deportation.”
