Even immigration lawyers here end up being douchebags. I am wondering whether we should just apply to go elsewhere so we can avoid future family separation. If you don't mind, I would like to share your story at http://promigrant.org The kinds of things that ICE is doing needs to be exposed. I wish you and your family well, and hope that in the near future, you will be united. No one deserves to live away in exile from their loved ones.

They suffered a lot in this seperation. My wife works hard in grave shift. My kids will not recover to what ICE or Homeland security did to them. At time of arrest their ages range between 5-14 years. Otherwise life goes on with difficutly. As they fabricated my wrongs they can do that to anyone. Have your lawyer beside you if you apply US citizenship. thanks again Prerna

This system is so messed up when it does this to people like you. It tells me that none of us should apply for citizenship -- who knows what faults they might find, right? I hope your wife and kids are alright. I can't imagine living without my family. Crap. This system is so messed up when it does this to people like you.

Then there was people with different agenda in the interview room violating my rights. I have never been on public charge nor commit any crimes. I work hard to pay the bills of my family and look after my immigrant community. In the interview I told them I have six kids. Then I traveled across the world of short period and impregnated another lady in de facto relationship. In second interview they tried to cheat me by asking me on previous application only. After interview I told them in oral I have another baby in across the world. They said that is OK ........write down on piece of paper in which I did. After a while they called me and arrest me accusing of misrepresentation about my application. I spent behind bars for more than 2 years where may family and kids suffered a lot. In this time my dad died due to stroke in Africa. Anyway, they charged me and supersede indict me for rare vengeance away from justice and fairness. I fought hard through legal system but alas in the height of fear mongering from Muslims I was deported after they found me aggravated felon for immigration violation!!! The whole thing was political witch hunt. I was deported for life according to them to Africa. I left behind wife and six kids all of whom are American. Today, I move on with my life despite seperation and justice deprivation. If you want to know more about my case contact me....

It's often used in the natz context when nothing else justifies a denial, a la Jim Crow. Has a lot in common with "moral turpitude," my least favorite Jim Crow remnant still alive and well in the INA. Can I get away with saying I agree with you both? But yes, allies, please don't target Dream to make a point--there are better ways to approach this issue. Not an "either or" situation, unless we make it that way. No need to go there.
