om Tancredo and most of the Republifool anti-immigration crowd are always screaming 'deport them' as their answer to the immigration debate when in many cases, it's not that simple.

In addition to the fact there are an estimated 12 million undocumented people here, what if you immigrated to the States without documentation to save your life?

That's the situation 32 year old transwoman Alexandra Reyes found herself in.   While growing up in Cenotillo, Mexico she got caught at age 8 wearing her sister's clothes and shoes. She was tied to a tree by her father and severely beaten for it.
