Buena Ventura Martin Godinez and her husband refused to come to the United States in a lawful fashion, but, hey, it’s the fault of the U.S. for being heartless

After being separated from daughter at border, mom warns illegal immigrants to “find another country”

It had been nearly two months since Buena Ventura Martin Godinez has seen her 7-year-old daughter after the frightened young mother was separated from her family trying to cross from Mexico into the U.S. They’ve spoken tearfully by phone, but seeing her at a Miami airport Sunday for the first time, she grabbed the child in a tight embrace, tears running down her cheeks during a reunion she feared may never happen.

“I feel very happy, now and to complete my joy I would like to have my husband released,” Martin said in Spanish as her daughter Janne clutched a stuffed dog and blue balloons and played with her younger brother at baggage claim.

Martin carried her infant son from Mexico into the U.S in May, fleeing what she said were threats from violent local gangsters demanding money in their hometown in northwestern Guatemala. Her husband followed two weeks later with the young girl.

We can’t take care of every case of someone dealing with mean people in every country. And why do they never try to stay in other countries? She and her husband could have gone to another part of Guatemala. Or applied for asylum at the U.S. embassy.

Her husband, Pedro Godinez Aguilar, was convicted of the misdemeanor offense of illegal entry into the U.S. and awaits almost certain deportation at a jail in Atlanta.

Buena should be going at the same time.

“I would advise people to find another country to seek refuge … because here the law is very tough. People don’t have a heart,” she said with tears streaming down her cheeks. “Your child is a treasure and to have them separated is very painful.”

OK, bye. If you don’t like it here, self deport. Leave. This is our country, our laws. Go to Mexico. Go to Panama. Or any number of South American cities. And make sure to tell everyone that America isn’t a dumping ground for people who want to come illegally.

Of course, there’s one little problem with the whole above scenario: they were never separated. Look at the last line of the first excerpt, which CBS tried to slip past everyone. She came with her 10 month old son and was caught. And they were never separated. The husband came with the 7 year old separately, and was separated, because who even knew if they were related? So the whole premise of the little girl being ripped from mom’s arms is a manufactured farce being pushed all over the place, like at CNN.
