Widow of Hero Fights Deportation
Widow of Hero Fights Deportation

Her husband died heroically trying to save two children from drowning. Now a young widow is facing deportation.

Jacqueline Coats, 27, came to the United States from Kenya six years ago on a student visa. She married her husband, Marlin Coats, in April 2006. Three weeks later, Coats died while rescuing two young boys caught in a rip current off Ocean Beach.

Coats said she was in the process of filing the necessary documents to become a permanent legal resident when her husband died. But she now faces deportation.

On Wednesday, state Republican and Democratic lawmakers held a news conference at the State Capitol to support a federal bill sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, that would allow Coats to remain in the United States.

Agreed :hi:

And just where is the chorus that sings to me about how she's responsible for reducing the quality of life in America and reducing my wages?

3. How the hell did he have time to be a hero in between
wrecking his car into everyone without insurance, stealing their job and ruining their healthcare system?
Didn't anyone tell him illegals are a threat to our very existence? He really should stick to the script.
