A Georgia college student ran a red light and got more than a ticket.

Officers first discovered 19-year-old Ximena Arias-Cristobal didn’t have a license.

They they found out her family has lived in the US illegally for 15 years.

She was charged with driving without a license and later processed under ICE.

Now she and her father are back together again, that is, in a detention center.

New York Post reports:

A Georgia college student faces deportation after she ran a red light, and authorities discovered her entire family has been illegally living in the US for nearly 15 years.

Mexican-national Ximena Arias-Cristobal, 19, was pulled over by police in Dalton, Ga. on May 5 when she failed to adhere to a “no turn on red” sign.

Ximena Arias-Cristobal, a Dalton State Community College student, was driving without a driver’s license but told officers she had an international driver’s license, according to WTVC, citing the arrest report.

In 2010, Arias-Cristobal was brought into the US illegally by her parents when she was only 4 years old during the family’s move from Mexico City to the Dalton area — over 30 miles from the Tennessee and Georgia border.

The officer who pulled her over attempted to speak to the teen’s mom and the owner of the car, but neither of them spoke English, according to the report.

Arias-Cristobal was arrested and charged with driving without a valid license and failure to obey traffic control devices.

She was transported to the Whitfield County Jail, a partner of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s 287(G) program, used to identify illegal aliens in the country.

Arias-Cristobal was processed through the federal database, which confirmed she wasn’t a US citizen.

She was brought to ICE’s Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Ga., where her father, Jose Francisco Arias-Tovar, is also being held.

People have had enough of illegals.

Tim Miller, a gay NBC news analyst, wants to whine about it.

He says America is an “oppressive hell for non-citizens” Good! Maybe that will be a deterrent to them, so they will stop coming here and taking advantage of and abusing our system and our kindness.
