If fiancee is deported, I'll go too, Iowan says
The couple haven't seen each other since the immigration raids Dec. 12.

Marshalltown, Ia. - Robert Braun saved to buy an engagement ring, but he spent the money to hire an attorney instead.

Right now, he figures that's what his girlfriend needs most.

His girlfriend, Dulce Hernandez Vazquez, was cooking breakfast in the cafeteria when immigration officials raided the Swift & Co. plant in Marshalltown on Dec. 12. They arrested her and 98 others from the town.

I said that I thought it was sweet that he proposed to her while she was in custody.

Also I suggested that he takes her anchor babies to Mexico with him, and he could invite his lawyer to join him as well.

This was posted on the blog for this article and I found it very informative:

I live less than 23 miles from Mexico and I hope this young lad has checked into the requirements for him to reside in Mexico as required by their government. He has to be able to support himself, and NOT take any jobs that Mexicans can perform, no welfare or health care benefits and a very long list that he can check with the Mexican Consulate and find out. I suggest he spend a month or two in Mexico and see first hand what he's going to face. I hope his spanish is fluent, as that is another requirement for possible employment there. Just thought I would toss this for a "reality check". Bon Voyage

People like that guy annoy me. They think it's all fine and dandy to just move out of the US because they think other countries are so much better than ours. Okay, lets just let him see for himself.

Take it from me, I've been to several third world countries in my day and I'll take Any City USA over the countries I've been in any day.

Go to a country where a family of 5 can live for a week on a dollar (Phillipines). Where 50 dollars gets you a stack of bills about 3 inches thick (Bulgaria) where I saw a guy who was pulling the back of a pick up truck with mules, and it appeared his job was picking up scrap metal from the side of the roads.

I think it was more posturing on his part than an actual desire to leave.
