Just lie and say your name is some random Spanish name. That's what this runaway girl from Dallas, TX did and ended up in Colombia. Costa Rica anyone?

That news story didn't really explain how and why she ended up in Colombia very clearly.

So she lied and said she was someone else? Then officials deported her because they thought she was an illegal immigrant?

She is American-born, speaks no Spanish and was a runaway. Other reports have mentioned that the underage runaway was arrested in Houston for stealing and when questioned lied about her name and told them she was from Colombia. She was there one whole year until her granny found her through Facebook. In conclusion, if you want a free ride to Cancun just commit a serious unlawful offense and lie to the officers about your origins so that you get deported to said country. Awesome. Prepares DUI scheme.

Oh thanks for the explanation.

Seems like a lot of work honestly.
