No context provided as regards immigration issues. Something entirely to make the reader sob or gnash his or her teeth, vote Democratic or do other unadvisable things. Come on, hard-working Sun-Times. This is not the best you can do.
"Hail to thee, blithe Spirit! Bird thou never wert, That from Heaven, or near it, Pourest thy full heart In profuse strains of unpremeditated art."
Blithe Spirit 
I wouldn’t classify this as a “weeper.” This fascinating bit of unintentional self-parody by Sun-Times propagandist Carlos Ballesteros induced hearty chuckles as I read through it. I especially enjoyed “Beto’s” plaintive request to his friend to send him pictures of his snake. The National Lampoon in the 1970’s couldn’t have done a better satire.Hopefully the man-child Lopez-Gutierrez will permanently grace Jalisco with his reckless driving convictions and other “non-significant misdemeanors.” Oh yes, and my compliments to ICE. Glad to see that at least one law enforcement agency is doing its job.

Minor observation: “weeper” refers to writer’s intent and conventional story classification, often used under impetus of professional cynicism. That said, helpful analysis.
