" How do we know she's not lying? Who knows where her parents are. They could be looking for her. She came here ILLEGALLY. She will say ANYTHING to stay here - that she's an orphan, that she was a sex slave, blah blah blah. It doesn't matter. She's a criminal and needs to be put on the first bus back to Mexico. "

" Wow Marie... you need help, We are all here as non native people, the only natives had their land and lives stolen from them. Chill out and go back to where you came from. We do need new laws and ways to handle the influx of people but we need to be more tolerant and accepting of those who are trying to make a better life. "

" Perhaps you should read more about the case than one article stating the latest information. An opinion is a wonderful thing...an uneducated opinion is dangerous. Also, you may wish to invest in a map or revisit Jr. High...she's from Honduras, I doubt Mexico wants her there any more than you want her here. "

" tolerance and acceptance...oh yes!! lets be oh so tolerant and accepting of those who disrespect our laws and our culture. typical liberal indocternation. What would happen if a group of Americans were to burn a Mexican or Honduran flag I wonder?? They'd be labled racists!!! Yes, we need new laws as Jamie so astuetly points out--lets model ours after Mexico's immigration laws, hhhmmmmm? "

" Watch out Mark, using phrases like "disrespect laws and culture" can get you in trouble. After all, isn't that what we do in every country we occupy? And I'm not just talking in the past few years... Immigration laws do need to me changed and, more importantly, enforced. However in this instance, assuming what this girl says is true and she is an orphan and the slave trade thing and she was tricked by immigration and the police (that part I CAN believe), then shouldn't she at least get a chance? Or are you telling me that if she were you, and what she says happened to you, you'd be voluntarily walking to the bus station happily headed back home to Mexico or Honduras or where ever? "

" name one country we "occupy". Iraq?? I don't think so-we don't have enough troops on the ground as it is. Disrespect laws and culture?? Wasn't it the Marines that had to get permission from the Iraqis to enter a mosque that they were getting fire from?? AND tell me about the military NOT celebrating Christmas while stationed in the middle east because they are in a "muslim" country...I was there. It seems as I said, WE must accomodate every other culture...not the other way around. I want these so called "immigrants" to adapt to US. As far as her story--who knows. Some kids will say anything. "

" Why in the world would it be wrong to "trick" someone who is here completely ILLEGALLY into a location to deport her? Shouldn't our government be encouraged to do this sort of thing? "
