• On November 11, 2009, by corina - Our immigration system is so broke that there shoul be done something about it. It is destroying many families and the life or our children is at stake. Just because a person makes a mistake doesn't mean to classify him/her and then deport. They paid with their time and money for it and shouldn't be deported. It is double jepordy. We are all citizens of this world. We all have the same rights. Our US born children suffer because of this. I am a US citizen with 2 born US citizens but my husband is a green card holder and because of that and a mistake he did couple of years ago and paid with 3 years and 10 months and still presently in the custody of ICE awayithng the decision of the immigration judge it is not fair to deport him. He has a family here in US, and we need his support. My children will be left without their father because of this immigration law that was passed in 1996. People stand up, it could be you next, think a little and put your selves in that families place.
