Well Tim, I’m pretty sure most of the latinos that are here “illegally” could get 1500 supporters to voice a desire to allow them to stay. Am I to assume you’d support them also?

Facebook Group membership now at 1536.

Why do “these people have to leave the country”? If over 1500 in their community don’t want them to leave, explain “how they don’t belong”?

“The law is the law” was the citizens’ excuse for not stepping in to prevent the slaughter of the Jewish people at the hands of the Nazis.

If, come the day of their deportation, all 1500 supporters surrounded Tatiana and Eugene to protect them, what action would you like to see on the part of law enforcement to get to them? Tear gas? Rubber bullets? Pistols mistaken for tasers? And all this because an honors student and a music teacher’s immigration lawyer dropped the ball on their visa process?

Well, immigration law is a federal law. I honestly don’t think that Pete Stark could really help except writing a letter to the USCIS expressing his concern, if he is willing to. That will not change any facts.

Before marrying a US citizen, a foreigner could be granted a K visa to enter the States and marry the US Citizen within 30 days (or 90 days) after admission to the country.

After marrying a US citizen, a spouse is given a ‘conditional green card’ of two years before a permanent green card is issued. This is to rule out fake marriages. If a divorce happens during a ‘conditional green card’ period, the alien spouse loses the green card status unless he/she could prove abusive relationship, etc., is the cause of separation and the alien spouse is the victim of the abuse. – If she falls in this category, she probably didn’t get a good lawyer.

She could take her US born children with her if she wishes to, however, people usually come here for a better live.

As to her current marriage condition, it seems to be a private matter. If she is currently married to a US citizen, she could probably pay a fine and adjust her status, or maybe this option is no longer available.

We all feel for her and her son, I wish there could be some fine she could pay to stay, otherwise, laws are LAWS.

Did she pay someone(her ex) to marry her, so that she could get herself and her three-year-old some into this country permanently? More specifically, did she not fulfill the requirements for citizenship in this country, and unlike other men and women who honored those requirements by immediately leaving the country when in the same situation, she chose to stay, and by doing so, put herself in clear violation of U.S. law?

More importantly, why would she leave her two daughters behind?
Is it because their father, who is not her ex-husband nor current husband I presume, won’t allow her to? Why not? and why aren’t they married?

Could we get any of these questions asked?

There was a demonstration at Mowry & Fremont today, I thought it was the Tea Party folks but the banners were saying “Don’t Deport Our Friends”…

Why aren’t the Minutemen screaming about how these people need to get out of the country and how they don’t belong? Come on guys, say something about following the laws. Go counter protest.

The rumor is that this young man will be inducted into the Russian Military once he has returned because he is now 16. Very sad.

This is very sad and is counter to common sense. I believe that if they are here contributing to our society then we should not actively seek people out to deport. That harms our society and the individuals. As a compassionate society we should not deport people because of marital issues.

On the other hand I do support the Dublin action that if someone is here illegally and commits a crime they should be deported. In this case they are a drag on our society harming citizens and requiring our dollars to jail them.

Matt; how high up did her appeal go? Did the appeal end at the BIA (Board of Immigration Appeal)? Or, did it go all the way up to the the Ninth Circuit Court?
