I am leaving

// July 1st, 2009 // 2 Comments » // Immigration

Setting a date right now for getting out of here. Should I sign a voluntary departure or do without it?

Two years ago, I qualified for Canada and was set to leave. But then I listened to some lawyers and more tear-jerking from my useless family. The logical reasoning for staying here no longer exists.

If I have to await ‘in-line’ 8-10 more years (Re: Matter of Wang), I might as well do so somewhere where I can move forward in life.

I don’t care about the vile threats from my family. I have had enough of this imprisonment.

I know it might seem dumb for someone covered under the LIFE Act to self-deport, but this someone is a very educated person. How long am I expected to put my life on hold for the convenience of other people? And of course, no one would sponsor me for an EB-2 and legalize my status regardless of how (over)qualified I am; they will make me work without pay or put me on meager stipends.

I can’t get married to adjust my status. Don’t remind me.

These idiots in the USA can file for ‘hardship-waivers’ later if they want. I really doubt I would want to come back here.

Yes, I would probably be put in jail in Fiji. I might even be beaten and killed. But those are just risks I need to take. Freedom comes at a cost. I’ll rather be killed while I am free than die in this prison every day.

Moron of the Week – JW Lown

Mayor of San Angelo, Texas–J.W. Lown–has abruptly stepped down from his post earlier this week, declaring that he had moved to Mexico to be with his male lover, who had been living illegally in the United States for quite some time.

Scheduled to take the oath of office last Tuesday for his fourth term as mayor, Lown did not appear at the event. In a telephone call late Wednesday afternoon from Mexico the Mayor explained that  because he was in personal relationship with a man who does not have legal residency in the United States, he didn’t see fit to take the oath of office knowing he was “aiding and assisting” someone who was not a legal citizen.

I suppose it’s alright if the President does it :cough: Aunt Zeituni :cough: …

Immigration law in this country has less to do with laws and more to do with whom we know. I have little doubt that Lown could have used his political connections to get temporary reprieve for his lover. People with less power do it all the time.

It’s honest, noble and certainly sweet. And just moronic with immigration reform on the table this year.

Lown, you got your partner a 10-year ban, assuming he was over 18 and accrued illegal presence.
