Deportees use "revolving door" to return to U.S.

Okay - she's deported to a country she says is not her home, as she's been in the USA since she was 15.

So, she's in a horrible, strange, scary country - where she makes $5,000.00 IN ONE MONTH?

(Oh! the humanity!)

And uses it to travel all the way back to the USA from Guatemala?

What's wrong with this picture?

PHOENIX (Reuters) - When a heavy knock came on the door of her Phoenix home, Mari knew that the immigration police had finally caught up with her. Arrested and held for a month in a U.S. jail, she was sent back to Guatemala on a prison flight.
But four weeks later, after raising a $5,000 smuggling fee, she was back with her family in Arizona.
As U.S. authorities step up deportations of illegal immigrants, a growing number of them, like Mari, are simply turning round and heading back stateside to rejoin families and resume their lives.
"Guatemala is no longer my home. All my roots are here in the country I have lived in since I was 15 years old ... I felt I had no option but to try to come back," said Mari, which is not her real name...

(But, we're ready to believe everything else she says, right?)
