the problem with hiding under the "thats life" umbrella is that it keeps people from doing anything; people realize that they can't help everyone, and wind up only coming to terms with that by not trying to help anyone, (many times, just simple because "its not my problem"). people maybe can't help everyone, but they can atleast try to help the ones they can; NOTE, i am not trying to attack you, just that big umbrella you're standing underaquaman839 said:I'm sure a ton of people have quoted you but black and white I have to agree with you, but I gotta say the kid is getting screwed. But I gotta say it comes under the massive umbrella that is "thats life". Hopefully the family can apply and get a lawyer and lawfully apply for citizenship. Also curious how did immigration finally scoop them up, what caused an issue after 15+ years?GiglameshSoulEater said:If he is not a citizen legally, he should not live here.

I'm sure your family had time during the ethnic cleansing, to apply for citizenship and wait for the papers to be sorted, until legally boarding on a ship.Anarchy In Detroit said:If you didn't come here legally, take a hike.

Thats kind of hard to do since he is already in jail. And I'm not sure if the life is in danger thing is recognized. But the petition got more than double its required signatures in less than 12 hours. He signed the papers for it, so there will be a hearing that is yet to be schedualed for itPatrick_and_the_ricks said:If he is in real danger I'm sure he can get refugee status, or just marry a chick.... Can't think of much else that can help him....
thats why I support the DREAM Act;viranimus said:It might seem cruel, but rules are rules for a reason. For every one honor student, you get 10 middle of the roaders or worse. I mean 10 years living in the country was more than enough time to follow proper procedures and work toward earning citizenship in the first place.
