Send Her Back

From the Minneapolis Star Tribune: In a federal lawsuit filed on Christmas Day, an Ethiopian refugee who has lived in the Twin Cities nearly 10 years is suing her father, contending that he refuses to take a blood test that she needs in order to become a U.S. citizen.
Sara Jelde, who came to the United States in 2004 at age 17 with her five siblings and father, is also suing Immigration Services for requiring the test....
Jelde’s mother did not come to the United States, and the family settled in Eagan. Sara Jelde eventually moved in with her eldest sister, who helped Jelde get legal resident status.
The five children later moved apart, her father remarried and they had not communicated for several years, the suit says.
Jelde, now 26 and living in St. Paul, finds herself in a legal quagmire brought on by her decision last May to apply for citizenship.
The suit says Jelde’s father has refused to provide a blood test demanded by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services that will prove his paternity....
The blood test was ordered after an immigration official stated that Jelde did not correctly answer a question asking her to provide her father’s last name, the suit stated. “Jelde was not represented by counsel at the interview or at the time,” the suit says.
If the immigration agency needs a blood test, it could get one from her older sister, who petitioned for Jelde to enter the United States as a refugee, Nwaneri said. Her father did not file any petition for her or sponsor her in the United States, according to the suit....
He said he hopes Jelde will be granted citizenship. “She is working,” he said. “She has no criminal record. She’s been a good citizen.”  http://www.startribune.com/local/237258971.html
Actually, she is not a good citizen because she is not a citizen of the U.S. and she is a lawbreaker by being here illegally.
This case should be fairly easy to decide, she has family back in Ethiopia- her mom, she is here illegally and she was not a young child when she came to the United States.
She needs to go back to Ethiopia and start the citizen process there.
And then the Fed's ought to go after her employer for allowing an illegal alien to work for them.
