Hee Chun Kang's parents are legal permanent residents of the United States, and he has down syndrome but faces deportation to Korea because he is past the age of 21. Our taxpayer dollars are certainly being put to good use.

Hee Chun and Hyo Chun were 10 and 7 years of age, respectively, when their parents brought them to the United States in 1993. They overstayed their tourist visas but due to a family petition filed on their behalf, the parents became legal residents last year. However, due to the fact that Hee Chun and Hyo Chun were both over 21 by the time that a visa was available to them, they aged-out under the petition and now await deportation from the United States, away from their parents.

We should not direct our anger over "illegal immigration" towards children who had no say in coming to this country and a family that had no idea that their children would be caught in this bureaucratic nightmare over something as arbitrary as age. Yet, thousands of legal immigrant families are caught in the same situation, fighting to either keep their adult children here or bring them to the United States.

Thousands of taxpayer dollars are going towards removal and litigation proceedings to kick these young immigrants out of our country. It's wasteful spending for the most part because by the time the litigation is over, the aged-out children are eligible for a green-card through their parents.

1. Sign this email petition to Kang's representatives and DHS. Tell them to stop deporting the Kang brothers and grant deferred action to age-out children of legal permanent residents.

2. Make sure to spread the word via Facebook, Twitter and emailing your friends.
