I have a buddy who's mom was just deported under simmilar circumstances- he has been here since age 5, and just married another friend of mine- His visa was improperly filed by his dad when he was 12- and now they may deport him, despite the fact that he is a productive member of society who is married to an american citizen, owns a house, pays taxes, and works legally with a work visa that was given to him by the U.S. Gov. - they may, for no reason other than the fact that his dad fucked up, about 11 years ago, tear him away from his wife, family, and career, and not allow him back in for at least 2 years, possibly 10 (depends on how they find in the case, ie exactly what was violated where) right now he has about a 50/50 shot, and is awating a hearing- normaly, I have little sympathy if it is your own fuck up, but in this case it is just fucking stupid- law may be law, but when the law is stupid, fuck it- Law is not, and should never be, a god, and should not be held up as absoloute in all cases- this is why judges are supposed to have some leeway on their rulings- as many people have stated, why not some compassion, why not some fucking attention to people as more than numbers on a page............
