Really? I've only seen this practice on the American continent and I've always wondered.
These days I get my produce directly to my front door from a farmer. This stuff lasts for at least a week, often much longer. Compared to the produce from supermarkets that seem to rot on the way home already.
There should be a rule that you can't deport the legal guardian of a US citizen for that matter. All I'm saying is that they have an excuse for deporting them, even if it's a bad one. I don't understand the excuse for this case. Is there any?
