Angel and Jacqueline Rayos-Garcia stood side by side outside the US Capitol on Tuesday.
In a matter of hours, the teenagers plan to be inside, in the same room as the president they blame for their mother’s deportation.
Two Arizona lawmakers invited them to be their guests when President Trump addresses a joint session of Congress.
The teenagers took their first-ever flight to be here.It’s been less than three weeks since their mother, 35-year-old Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos, was apprehended in Phoenix and deported back to Mexico.
Today is her birthday.
“I’m sad that I don’t get to spend the day with her,” 14-year-old Jacqueline said, “but I’m proud to be here.”
Her 16-year-old brother, Angel, agreed.“We’re the face of all those people who want to speak out but can’t,” he said. “So we’re here, speaking for them.”
This was the scene when she was arrested for deportation earlier this month:

I’m not sure what the point of all this is. Trump won. Deportations are popular, and they’re just not going to be able to stop them. If anything, those kids should be thankful that they’re American citizens. Cut your losses, either move to Mexico to be with your mom, and stay here and visit occasionally. That’s what happens when you break the law.
