Her suitcase is packed, but a Queens teen facing deportation Thursday spent what could be her last hours in America hoping she doesn't have to go.
"I know it's real," said Nadia Habib, 19, a Stony Brook University junior and Bronx High School of Science grad who came to the U.S. as a baby.
Her parents brought her here. Given all the people who sneak in illegally and make no effort to assimilate (or have no chance or aren't forced to by misguided bi-lingual government programs) yet live here freely, why couldn't this young woman simply have the opportunity to take the citizenship test and be naturalized?
We need all the Americans we can get. Why kick them out on a technicality?
