An Australian woman and her two sons will be deported from the US after one of the boys punched a classmate and stole 53 cents.
Tracey Washington and her two boys, aged 13 and 5, have been declared illegal immigrants after she missed a deadline to apply for a green card last May, the Daily Telegraph reports.
Mrs Washington, who moved to San Francisco six years ago to marry husband Charles, claims that immigration authorities had told her a different deadline.
The trio's immigration status was only flagged when the 13-year-old was involved in a schoolyard incident in January where he punched another boy and stole the small sum of money.
He was arrested after the other boy’s family contacted police.
Unfortunately for the Washingtons, San Francisco recently implemented a hardline policy forcing juvenile arrests to be reported to federal immigration authorities.
The uncompromising policy was introduced after the city was accused of being a haven for illegal immigrants.
Mr Washington must stay in the US because of a shared custody agreement with his ex-wife for care of their 12-year-old daughter.
The deportations are set to take place on Friday after the Australian government declined to get involved.
3 Mar 2010Whilst Australian Law SUPPORTS illegal immigrants, not only committing (petty) crimes,
but also RAPPING and committing violent crimes against Australian citizens AND not punishing them adequately.
E.g. 5 lebanse youths RAPING a teenage girl in Sydney.
