Veteran Arizona state cop resigns after discovered to be illegal immigrant

[bcoop]

I'll give her the benefit of the doubt for now, but I still find it hard to believe. I wonder how old she is. Nowadays, babies are issues a SSN. When I was born, it wasn't that way. I didn't get a SSN until I was old enough to work. That meant I had to contact the state for my birth certificate, cince I didn't have a copy of it. Years later, I had to get another copy because I misplaced it.

It's entirely plausible, IMO. Socials are just as easy to get as a birth certificate.

I don't think that's even possible... at some point in life, she would have known she does not have a SSN or birth certificate.

Those things are forged or otherwise acquired all the time. Either way, it's the only way I'd be forgiving of her not going to court/jail over it. Resignation is not enough.

So, when is her and her family's deportation?

I think stepping down is the right thing to do obviously. Criminal prosecution is not the right thing if she truely did not know and had the paperwork her mother provided her as a child. That's just not right and i will assume the cupable mental state is not going to be enough for any type of criminal prosecution either. It seams to me that she was not intent on frauding the state it was actually her that was duped by momma.

And yet she is still actively committing a crime, at this very second and has since the day she got here. That's decades of actively engaging in a federal crime.

Understand, that's the only way *I* would be nice about it. It was not mentioned anywhere that I noticed.

Good to see the regular extremists aren't being extreme or anything.

oh, wait, nevermind.

seems like she was/is a contributing member of american society. I'd rather have a million of those than one welfare sucking shitbag.

god bless.

No, she's a federal criminal! Deport her, and remove her legs! Release everyone she busted comitting crimes! Rabble rabble, veterans, rabble rabble, obama amnesty, rabble rabble, 'muricuh!

Frost, take your meds. God.

[ceyko]

I can't understand the logic. It's a crime/illegal. There are plenty of otherwise good people who get busted all the time for DUIs and other items. If we don't support them being let go, for otherwise being good people - why make an exception here?

Mother f'er.... Even though *I* mentioned it - I somehow glossed over...

Figueroa may have used a fake or forged birth certificate, the station reported, but officials said that she was likely told that she was born in this country by her mother.
"We believe the affidavit and information she gave us at the time. And, she was under the impression that she herself was an American citizen," Department of Public Safety spokesman Bart Graves told KVOA.

I digress - I don't have the answer, but technically speaking she is in the wrong at this point still. What is the proposed solution otherwise?

agreed, but life isnt black and white. zero tolerance is just an excuse to not have to think.

god bless.

So she hasn't spent decades violating the law, not just her but her family as well? And she didn't hold others to the standard of the law and carry the authority of a badge and firearm while being a law violator herself?

Hypocrites piss me off.
