Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) Wednesday asked Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Michael Chertoff to refrain from deporting Yaderlin Hiraldo, an illegal immigrant married to an Army specialist who currently is missing in action in Iraq.
“As Yaderlin waits to hear what has happened to her husband I ask that she be allowed to stay in our country,” Kerry wrote in a letter to Chertoff. “I believe this is a very real test of our government’s compassion for a military family which has already made enormous sacrifices for the United States.” |

More of Kerry's grandstanding? Or, for once in his life, does he actually have a speck of human compassion in him?
Regardless, this single act does not absolve him of his other gaffs, misdeeds and lies.

Kerry must be using this incident asa means to garner support for the flawed Amnesty bill before Congress.
Feds Say Missing Soldier's Illegal Immigrant Wife Not Likely to Be Deported
From the article,
| Quote: | "The wife of an Army specialist missing in Iraq could be deported because she is an illegal immigrant, but U.S. authorities say they have no intention of doing so in the foreseeable future"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Procedures that could lead to her deportation began in 2006, but U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials alongside the Jimenez family attorney halted those proceedings before a deportation order could be issued, ICE spokeswoman Jamie Zuieback told FOXNews.com."
"Yaderlin Jimenez's lawyer says she could still face deportation because ICE could reopen the case, but the case is in an inactive status in a New York immigration court, Zuieback said."
""There would have to be a proactive effort to reopen it, and that's not something that's been done in the last year and a half," and there are no plans to do so, Zuieback said." |

If you examine the timeline closely, Kerry only made his statement AFTER it had already been announced that she would not likely be deported. Kerry is just cashing in on an opportunity to look good to the public eye without an actual commitment.
