Like thousands of Central American parents seeking asylum in the United States, Patricia panicked when, after she and her son crossed the Rio Grande into Texas last year, U.S. border agents took the boy away. For weeks, she was crushed by fears that then-6-year-old Alessandro was lost forever.
Though they were eventually reunited, Patricia isn’t ready to put the past behind her. She wants the U.S. government to pay for her family’s ordeal, and she has become part of a novel legal strategy to achieve that goal.

How about a $3 Million fine in the other direction for attempting to enter the country illegally?

If you commit a crime in the US and you have your kids with you, guess what? If you're apprehended, you get separated from your kids. I guess the coyotes didn't tell their, uh, clients, about that little thing. All those cases should be dismissed.

Why is she still here? Why weren't her and her son deported?

Unreal. I went to the LA Times just to read the comment, but I refuse to ever pay for left wing articles. I do enjoy the comments on there for this kind of article. People are NOT supporting this kind of stuff. Even the liberals.

The first thing that should be done is DNA tests for all, to verify that they ARE those people's children, and not rented, borrowed or stolen like thousands of the 'asylum seekers' do.

Who's paying the lawyers? Its definitely not her. Anyone do a DNA test on Patricia and Alessandro? This garbage has got to stop. How much money has the left spent on destabilizing our borders?

OMG.
What a travesty. Don't want your kids taken away? Get a visa first. D'Oh.
What qualifies them for an attorney, let alone standing?
Send them home.
Problem solved.

Don't laugh. I'm sure there are many Obama judges (but Roberts tells me there is no such thing) who will give their lawsuit serious consideration.

Criminals who by definition break the law usually are separated from their children . . . and their spouses, friends, family members, neighbors, their grocery store, their favorite foods . . . they lose their freedom . . . they do time in the calaboose. So if you don't want to be treated like a criminal, don't act like one.

Then, fair is fair. If this law suit has any merit, then all the mothers who were separated from their children during Obama's reign must sue Obama too. If not, then we have another case of RACISM. It won't be right for some judge to decide it is o.k. to sue the white guy, but not o.k. to sue the mixed race guy.
Fair is fair.

Has anyone suggested she could have her kids back if she leaves the country? In fact, all those in the detainment facilities should be given that option.

How about you can have your kids back as we deport you? In fact, all those in detainment should be given the option.

Her real problem is she can’t do a quick turn on these kids and re-rent them.

all the Democrats want is headlines about children and the border, and the fact that this strategy to get them will crush the woman involved, doesn't really matter to them. most people only read headlines, this will get the Donkeys a helpful one, so just do it.

Aha! The scam is revealed! Drag your kid to the border in hopes that he is taken from you and you can sue for $millions.

Drop her behind on the other side of the border or back in the hellhole she came from, and let her sue from there. The nerve.

They can pick up their children on the other side of the border, if they can prove the kids are theirs. A lot of child trafficking going on and who knows if these kids are really the offspring of those who n\brought them.
