Dreams Deferred: Young Soccer Star, Brother Set for Deportation

Aug. 2

by Dorean K. Collins
 
A young Maryland soccer player who hoped his talents might lead him to a college degree is locked up with his brother in an immigration detention center and both may be deported.
Lizandro Claros, 19, played soccer for Bethesda (Maryland) Soccer Club and was planning on attending college in the fall on a partial soccer scholarship in North Carolina. His brother Diego, 22, planned to accompany him and work to continue to help his brother pay his college costs.

Either the laws mean something or they don't.   Sad stories do not alter that one iota.

Oh how horrible, how can they do such a thing! There can't possibly be a talented soccer player that is a legal American resident who could use a soccer scholarship, so why oh why are they picking on the poor child! Send home, if he actually has any talent he'll be welcomed where soccer is acually a national sport, instead of stealing an opportunity from someone that actually has a right to it here.

I thought the odds of further discussion of immigration were about one in ten. It seems that I was correct.

You seem to just want to argue with me, not discuss immigration.
