I wonder how many in these schools are illegal?

Approximately 300,000 U.S. citizens are currently studying in Universities in other countries. Should those countries expel all Americans and ship them back home?

---

If they are there illegally, YES!

---

From Quick Google, looks like approx. a third of that Babson's college undergrad and nearly half of their graduate students are international students (nearly 3,000 total).

If I was the State Dept., case like this I'd get her a foreign student visa and simply let her come back for now as an international student on a typical student visa for the spring semester. That then would allow time to work out and clear up what was going on the back history case stuff a decade ago apparently. While avoiding turning stories like this into negative political ammo that cumulatively could hurt the 2026 election cycle.

While there is a lot of broad support for strong border control and purging illegal criminal elements, this girl with no criminal background attending school is not the typical case that many were worried about RE border security and letting dangerous undocumented individuals into the country.

The more extreme the Trump administration appears to be going after girls like this, and if the Trump administration even appears to be hostile and cracking down on LEGAL immigration, the more likely that helps the Democrats regain control in upcoming election cycles because the overall population's support weakens the more extreme things appear.

We'll see. Be interesting to see how the Border Security vs Broader Immigration topics play out in the next election cycle.

I fail to understand the point you are making.

People here say if she is illegal, she must go. That implies if she is legal, she can stay. From what I read, looks like she is illegal.

Do you agree with that or not? Are you for allowing illegals in school in the US?

---

I am saying cases like this are cumulatively 'loser' cases politically. 19-year old girl graduated from U.S. HS and now studying at college on scholarship with 3000 international students is surprised at airport and deported in 48 hours to Honduras.

Meanwhile the dad apparently is working as a tailor for a business in Austin, TX (where she was trying to fly to) and the dad's employer was the one who purchased the ticket so she could surprise him for Thanksgiving. But the dad and employer are not getting hammered by ICE?

Stories like this simply fuel political ammo that ICE is a disorganized, blunt instrument, that is randomly cherry picking rather than prioritizing resources to hunt down and purge the worst of the worst (those with criminal records).

I am for winning 2026 election cycle. This is the type of cases that cumulatively if mishandled and added up seems more a political negative than positive. Just give her a foreign student VISA for now for spring semester then work out the other stuff. Since it is the U.S. government though, probably she'll be stuck in Honduras for at least months while her family up in Texas (NOT deported by ICE mind you) through their attorneys and congressmen are scoring political points.

OK. Looks like your issue is that you think it was a politically bad move and makes ICE look bad.

My view on this is nothing will be perfect, and you got to do the right thing. I expect her dad to be picked up as well. Let's see how this plays out.

I don't agree with you about just regularizing illegals. That is what Biden did and will be worse for Trump. R voters want all illegals out. If they behave like Dems, they will lose. Trump seems to be backtracking on H1Bs and that is pissing me off - I might just not vote for R next time unless they do something. I am sick and tired of this bs.

They are following the law. They didn't go after this girl, she got popped boarding a plane. Again if you don't like it then Congress needs to change the laws.

Were you not aware that we are talking about illegals? That is of course what this conversation is about. How did you miss that? Oh yes, the left loves to pretend that key detail doesn't exist.

Tell me, what do you have against freeing up space in American universities for Americans? This is not a rhetorical question.

I am for Republicans continuing to win elections. Not buying cases like this are a 'good look' (as explained in my earlier posts) though any negative fallout in 2026 election cycle also requires the Dems effectively weaponizing a bunch of stuff like this as behaviors deserving a change in law makers while still messaging agreement that stable border control needs to be maintained., which Biden let go completely off the rails. I think that is the needle the Dems would need to thread.

Exactly correct. Any changes voters want to see based on first 2 years experience from Trump admin will be reflected in how 2026 Congressional elections play out.

LOL my sister went to Babson in the 1990s

it was a hellhole of leftism even then.

You know what the funniest thing is about this story?

If the leftist democrats had even an ounce of loyalty to the US they would have at least elect a candidate that was cognitively functional. But they didn't care, they didn't care about being lied too. They were one political orgasm after the other just implement any illegal, harmful plan they could come up with. But then they went nuclear with steam rolling the US border with illegal aliens……..it is totally the fault of the left that the illegal alien who graduated high school is being deported.

If the left just would have left well enough alone…..

Should have got married and had kids. College ain't for everyone

I have zero empathy for anybody who's been breaking our immigration laws and gets deported. Zero.

Almost every other country, including their own, would treat me, if I were to do it there country, a lot worse.

My guess is that, because she had the deportation order, going through security for the flight triggered an alert that was then sent to ICE. It seems like a good system to know when and where illegals are so that they can be caught and deported. I don't think it's designed to specifically catch a person like her, but she's in that group of people so she got caught.

Her dad probably hasn't done anything that triggered an alert for them to find him yet.

If most all of the Dems running sanctuary cities worked with the Feds, they wouldn't have time to pop cases like this, they would be dealing with more low life trash. But since they have to fight and scratch and claw, they have to take every opportunity they can.

Here's to hoping the feds get better alert triggers and data exchanges in govt computing systems when illegals are present. Boarding a flight is low hanging fruit, but at least it got her.

Super fine line to walk due to privacy concerns of course.

This story about deportation warms my heart.

Babson College however... I spent 5 days there in August 2005. In fact, it was during Hurricane Katrina to fix the time frame.

My only good memories were drinking with Europeans from my work.

If you have a conviction and 45 year sentence for smuggling 400 tons of coke and live in Honduras apparently you get a pardon. If you are came here with your parents at 7 graduated high-school and going to college, then you're the real problem. Liberals are the problem. No its corrupt government more than anything.

Since it is the U.S. government though, probably she'll be stuck in Honduras for at least months while her family up in Texas (NOT deported by ICE mind you) through their attorneys and congressmen are scoring political points.

They are following the law. They didn't go after this girl, she got popped boarding a plane. Again if you don't like it then Congress needs to change the laws.

My guess is that, because she had the deportation order, going through security for the flight triggered an alert that was then sent to ICE. It seems like a good system to know when and where illegals are so that they can be caught and deported. I don't think it's designed to specifically catch a person like her, but she's in that group of people so she got caught.

Her dad probably hasn't done anything that triggered an alert for them to find him yet.

But to the POS liberals on here that is Trump targeting people.

If you have a conviction and 45 year sentence for smuggling 400 tons of coke and live in Honduras apparently you get a pardon. If you are came here with your parents at 7 graduated high-school and going to college, then you're the real problem. Liberals are the problem. No its corrupt government more than anything.

Boo ****ing who. You voted for auto pen, he could have pardon them all.

Shut it down; colleges have been in on the illegal immigration hoax for decades
