the George Bush administration in 2006 was going to institute a program where illegal immigrants could pay a fine ($5K-$10K), any back taxes and then their application for citizenship would be "fast tracked"---but this wasn't good enough for these illegals---they and their supporters took to the streets in nationwide protests  demanding "Amnesty Now"--the major organizers of these rallies were investigated and when found to be illegal immigrants themselves--deported--which stopped these protests. I don't feel sorry for anybody who blatantly breaks the law--there are immigration laws and a right way to apply for citizenship--since this woman didn't follow the rules she now faces the consequences
