Feds Steal Children from Illegal Aliens
February 3rd, 2012Via: ABC News:
The scars of childbirth were still healing on Amelia Reyes Jimenez’s stomach in 2008 when police came to her Phoenix apartment and took her three-month-old daughter from her arms.
Three and a half years later, Reyes Jimenez and her four children have become statistics in the U.S. crackdown on illegal immigration. Each year thousands of children of undocumented immigrants, like Amelia’s kids, wind up in foster care when their parents are arrested for immigration violations. Some are even adopted by U.S. citizens while their parents are held in federal detention centers or deported back to their native countries.
Reyes Jimenez’s son and three daughters are now living in foster care in Phoenix, and are awaiting possible adoption. Reyes Jimenez is back in Mexico, her parental rights terminated by an Arizona judge, and she cries when she remembers the raid that began it all.
“My daughters were calling, ‘Mommy, my Mommy,'” said Reyes Jimenez. “I felt destroyed. I felt like I would never see my girls, even worse [the baby] was so small. I had just bought her cradle and her stroller.”
A new study by the human rights group Applied Research Center estimates that as of summer 2011 there were at least 5,100 children of detained immigrants in foster care in 22 states.
STEAL????!!! How is enforcing the law “stealing?” The infant is a US citizen by birth and entitled to stay (sort of). The mother is was an illegal alien here to STEAL US TAXPAYER benefits and services…and teaching her illegal alien other kids to do the same.
So she got caught and deported along with her illegal alien kids. Good riddance. If she doesn’t like her native country she needs to change it, not come here to bankrupt ours.
@mr. racist: can you take your comments and piss off to the appropriate racist, pro-fascist forum? stop polluting this one.
I’d love to have list of countries that deport parents and steal their children. Does anyone have such a list?
@ tochigi- if you are calling me a racist, you couldn’t be more wrong. I don’t care what race she or any other illegal alien happens to be. I would feel no different if she were my exact same ethnic heritage. In fact, if she were my first cousin I would still feel the exact same way.
You want to give away your country to thieves who have no respect for the basic laws of the land than save your money and buy one of your own.
@mr. racist: your country is RUN BY THIEVES WHO HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE BASIC LAWS OF THE LAND. get a brain.
And because I stand against such lawlessness from within and without, you feel entitled to the judge me as racist, fascist, brainless and unworthy of posting on a website where my submissions have been approved by the site owner?
You sound exactly as I would expect from a disinformation agent.
stevie, my dear, you approve of “enforcing the law” and write that you “stand against such lawlessness,” but these gubmint laws that forcefully take from some to give to others as “benefits” (including billions of taxpayer monies to rescue the gubmint’s bankster buddies) are UNCONSTITUTIONAL. To paraphrase your own admonition — if you don’t like the fact that your native country’s corrupt gubmint illegally hands out taxpayer monies willy nilly and to excess, bankrupting your country, then you need to change it, instead of embarrassing yourself by condoning the stealing of children from their parents.
“disinformation agent”
LOL
i looked at what you wrote. the evidence speaks for itself.
People, the US born child is a US citizen. The mother and her other children are not. Nobody “stole” her baby but the liberal press. She came into the US to steal hospital and birthright benefits for kid and got caught. She was deported for her wrong doing but her US born infant, who had broken no laws was allowed to stay.
Muddling the situation with childish name calling and.diverting from the facts of this case to use it to condemn 300,000.000 people is nothing but self righteous pontificating that condones overall lawless because there are some people working very hard to destroy this country and every otherwise as well.
Further, Child Protective Service intervened and took the child because she put the child in danger with her choices. I do NOT feel sorry for her. She can lawfully petition the courts in this country to get her child back…and hopefully by then she will have figured out how to be here legally and how to raise her child properly.
The fact that I defend her child’s right to be here is proof that I am not racist, btw. The fact that she wanted her child to be a US citizen is proof that she felt the risk of losing her child via her deportation
…was worth dealing with a less than perfect world government that is all connected via interpol.

More of the many reasons to vote for Ron Paul is that he wants to work to amend the constitution to remove the citizen birthright. This is only a temp solution to help current citizens retain their gubment benefits. The real solution, and another Ron Paul wants to work toward, is to “slowly” do away with all the tax paid benefits: social security, medicare, public school, etc… If you do away with all the freebies there is no problem with having immigrants. Of course the greatest solution of all is to do away with income tax. Then there is no gubment treasure for everyone to try to loot, embezzle, bribe with, etc…
