Dreamer dies trying to rescue people during Texas flood, his Mexican born mother will not be allowed to attend his funeral.

Courtesy of HuffPo: 

Alonso Guillen came to the U.S. from Mexico as a child. He died here, too: On Wednesday, he disappeared when his boat capsized while he was rescuing survivors of the flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey in the Houston area. 

Family members recovered his body on Sunday from a creek in Spring, Texas, according to The Houston Chronicle ― just hours before reports emerged that President Donald Trump will end the program that shielded Guillen and others like him ― so-called Dreamers ― from deportation. 

Guillen, a 31-year-old disc jockey who came to Texas from Mexico as a teenager, never became a U.S. citizen. But he had a work permit and protection from immediate deportation as part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program ― DACA ― that then-President Barack Obama established in 2012. 

Last week, he headed south from his home in Lufkin, Texas, with a borrowed boat, insisting he wanted to help rescue flood survivors. His father, a legal permanent resident, wept on the sandy banks of Cypress Creek on Sunday as his son’s body was pulled from the water, the Chronicle reported. Jesus Guillen recounted to the paper how he asked his son not to go on the rescue mission with two friends, and that he thanked God for the time he had with his son. 

As Law Newz reports Guillen's mother will not be allowed to cross the border in order to attend her son's funeral:  

While Guillen’s father is a legal permanent resident of the United States, his mother, Rita Ruiz de Guillen is currently applying for legal status here–and unable to cross the border in order to bury her son. 

She had hoped U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials would be understanding of the situation and issue a humanitarian visa so she could properly mourn, but her request was denied and the grieving 62-year-old was sent back to Me exico after reaching the U.S. border. She said, through tears: 

“I’ve lost a great son, you have no idea. I’m asking God to give me strength. When we are with God, there are no borders. Man made borders on this earth.”

I'm sorry, putting politics aside where at least is the compassion for this grieving mother? 

I mean what are they afraid she will do, leave the funeral, disappear into the crowd, and then immediately start stealing American's jobs?

      The elimination of DACA is another diversion. Trump is trying to take people's attention away from Mueller, the investigation, money laundering, Russian collusion, etc.

    White House council member lashes out at “liar” Donald Trump

    ...Now that Trump is taking a racist position on DACA, one of his remaining council members is lashing out at him for being a liar.

    Javier Palomarez is the president of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. He’s also a member of Donald Trump’s White House diversity council. After Trump’s decision to end DACA protection for immigrants leaked out last night, Palomarez appeared on CNN today to discuss the matter. He vowed to continue to try to get Trump to change his mind until the “bloody end,” as Trump has yet to publicly acknowledge his own position on the issue. He then went on to state that ending DACA would be a “deplorable” move on Trump’s part, borrowing a word out of Hillary Clinton’s playbook. But there was more.

    When CNN asked Palomarez what Donald Trump would be showing if he follows through and gets rid of DACA, Palomarez didn’t mince words: “If he gets rid of DACA, he’s showing that he’s a liar.” He then went on to explain how Trump claimed during the campaign that he would do right by those immigrants under the protection of DACA.

      She has the body language and affectations of a supremely privileged, entitled, clueless, tone deaf bitch!Who'd be more upset about getting dead immigrant baby mess on her Louboutins (sp?) than caring about said dead immigrant baby.
      If she was abused, she is in her 30s now. Do the work to heal Ivanka. I think she is ok with the set up and loves the money and power.
      I don't even care about her. I less than care.

    Russian official discusses releasing blackmail material on Donald Trump

    ...During a debate on Russian state-run television, a number of Russian officials discussed various political issues. One of those officials was Nikita Isaev, the Director of the Russian Institute of Contemporary Economics. Translated into English, he said “Let’s hit Trump with our Kompromat!” This is a clear reference to the Pee Pee Tape or some other similar blackmail material that the Kremlin has long been alleged to be holding over Trump’s head. The host asked, “Do we have it?” Isaev responded “Of course we have it!”

    The hour long Russian-language video can be watched here if you so choose, and Julia Davis was the one who identified Nikita Isaev’s call for the release of Kompromat. It’s difficult to imagine someone in Isaev’s position saying such a thing on Kremlin-controlled television unless he had Vladimir Putin’s blessing to say it.

    This means we are now at a point where Putin is threatening or taunting Donald Trump by having a Russian official openly threaten to release blackmail on him on national television.

      Mar-a-Lago has been in the path of nearly 20 hurricanes, some major, since built in the 20's so I'm rather certain it was built to last just this sort of weather calamity.

      That place is tacky as hell, but the Posts built it like a small fortress, and being that it's in hurricane alley, I'm sure they took proper precautions.

      Couldn't disagree more. Like all who came to this country, most likely including your own ancestors, they came to achieve the American Dream and hence the name. Thanks to Trump and his pals in the Republican party that was a false dream for so many, a dream they had for years and years here not being striped away from them by this administration that does not represent the majority of the people of this country and never will. SHAME there isn't a way we can boot them all out, and quickly.

      Our family was just discussing the fact that our direct ancestors on Mother and Father's side came here before America was even a country.

      I keep thinking that the Statue of Liberty will soon dissolve itself there in New York's harbor. The statue represented hope to millions of people since it was erected in the late nineteenth century. Trump, whose mother was an immigrant and whose grandfather was an immigrant (although with lots of questionable behavior), wants to end it all. Take away all that hope and build a wall around the country to keep people away and then to keep people in.

  9. This should be repeatedly thrown in Trump's face.

    He has no compassion. No "big heart."

    Here was a "Dreamer" rescuing people even after the Orange Anus announced he was going to destroy DACA and deport them all. And Trump's Nazi's deny the Mother attending her son's funeral.

    I'm not sure there is a bigger asshole the Republicans could have put in the Oval Office. Not even Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio could be as big a pile of shit as Trump is. There aren't words awful enough to describe what a cancerous fetid pus filled canker he is. He is beyond disgusting.

    My Mother (lifelong republican) said again tonight that someone is going to assassinate him.

    I said if it happens, it will be one of his own (former) supporters.

    I hope it's soon.

    I feel badly for this woman, however, there are rules in this world and at times they are not waived for anyone regardless of circumstance.

    While I also have empathy for the "Dreamers" it's very sad that their parent(s) chose to do something illegal, regardless of how long ago, and leave their child(ren) in such tenuous circumstances.

    I'd be a little pissed at my folks if they smuggled me into a foreign land, forever leaving me unable to achieve proper citizenship.

      She didn’t follow the rules, worked illegally and lied about it. Of course she has only herself to blame so she should be stripped of her citizenship and deported before children that had no choice in the matter.

      Yes, they chose to leave countries, many with death squads and enter the USA illegally. I guess you would have chosen death for your children instead.

  13. "The president, meanwhile, seems like he’d prefer that the whole debate just go away. According to the New York Times, an “exasperated” Trump asked his aides for “a way out” of a situation he boxed himself into by promising to repeal the program immediately upon taking office, while also insisting he would show “great heart” in dealing with Dreamers."

    What's his solution? Get someone else to do it.

    "Attorney General Jeff Sessions will hold a news briefing Tuesday morning at the Department of Justice to discuss the fate of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, an Obama-era executive action that protects young undocumented immigrants from deportation. Trump is reportedly planning to shutter the program after a six-month delay."

    I guess because we already know how racist Jefferson Beauregard KKK Sessions is.

    Yeah, the little hooded gnome won't be taking any questions either.

    Trump is going to hide until he thinks it all blows over. (Maybe he'll nuke N. Korea to distract attention from DACA.)
