Smart girl taking that position, holding onto it long enough to make it look like she really wanted it and then parlaying that into a grab for amnesty that she hopes will lead to US citizenship.
I don't think she took the position with that as the end result...she got in over her head, and was like "eff this"...
I mean, when they threaten to kidnap you, they aren't just going to have a lil picnic. You saw that pic of the guy's skin stripped away from his decapitated head, with his balls in his hands?
She was naive--nobody would take that risk for the end result to be US citizenship---tomorrow is not promised
