This Is Not Right 4
From today’s local rag:
Dr. Pedro Servano and his wife, Salvacion, obeyed an order to meet with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in Philadelphia and were told to report back in 60 days, attorney Gregg Cotler said. No deportation date was set, he said.
“I think that’s very hopeful,” Cotler said.
The Servanos, parents of four U.S. citizens and prominent members of their central Pennsylvania community, could be deported to their native Philippines because of a change in their marital status during their visa-application process more than 20 years ago.
The Servanos were single in 1978 when they applied for U.S. visas. They did not receive them until after they were married, but U.S. officials were not notified of the change in their marital status.
By all indications, they were not aware that they had to amend their applications.
They have served their community well and lived exemplary lives.
And the United States is preparing to throw them away.
This is not right.

I don’t think ICE should be allowed to kick anyone out who has filed papers until they have secured the borders and dealt with all the illegals who never filed the proper papers to start with.

This time I have to agree with Opie.

Never a bad idea.

Heck, I agree with Opie more than I agree with my own brother!
