A big island coffee farmer who was able to rally the Kona community has lost his battle with immigration authorities. The man has now said his final goodbyes to his family and had voluntarily deported himself back to Mexico.
Andres Magana Ortiz, who is 43-years-old, called Hawaii home for 30 years. Hawaii’s Star Advertiser has said that Ortiz has come to symbolize some of the shortcomings of immigration law under presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump.
Ortiz is a coffee farmer, and really a hero to all of the morning challenged Americans out there. But that didn’t stop the deportation back to his native land of Mexico. ‘We said our goodbyes at home,’ said Magana Ortiz’s 20-year-old daughter Victoria Magana Ledesma. ‘My dad decided it was better for my brother and my sister to not go all the way to the airport,’ she continued. Magana Ortiz is a father of three and married (his wife and children are all US citizens), but because he was illegally living in Hawaii, he voluntarily paid for his own deportation, trying to make this situation easier on his American family.
