I think I am agreeing with the Georgia Police on this one

Now here is a question to ponder: What should Jessica have done?

Clearly her parents were are fault for not establishing her citizenship (we don't know, but perhaps because they were here illegally). But that can hardly be Jessica's fault as she was an 11 year old kid when she came into this country.

So Jessica turns 18 and finds herself an adult illegal alien in the United States. She can't apply for instant citizenship. She has no home in Mexico. She may not even remember much of life in Mexico.

Would Mexico even accept her back? What would happen if Mexico would not take her back?

It is a shame that she has to bear the brunt of her parent's mistake.

But what were Jessica's options when she turned 18?

What could she have done, and what should she have done?
