It is because of people like Jeff that innocent people are treated as common criminals. People are people regardless of where they are from. Isn't that what we were taught? America was formed on immigrants arrivng here. To punish a child for the acts of her mother is inhuman and cruel.
So what now this country wants to correct its wrong by going back years and years and throwing out kids of parents who probably had no idea what the consequences would be now?
Ignornace is the biggest problem in America. Many never have left their own borders and think they know what is right or wrong.
Sure immigration laws should be obided but there are and always will be the exception to this potential life threatening law. Have we become so racisit that we tolerate any inhuman treatment of anyone who crosess the borders anymore?
By becoming this nation of heartless thugs in tossing out innocent people to a strange country that could cost them there lives makes us no better than many other horrible 3rd world countries out there.
We are indeed creating another houlocaust that Hitler did with the Jews by treating people like this. This angers me to no end!
So we raise our children and make sure to instill to them it is not acceptable anymore to marry anyone not a U.S. Citizen? We better remove all online dating sites and teach this in our schools to avoid any contact of any kind with anyone located outside the U.S.A. to avoid this monstrerous outcome that can happen to anyone.
Innocent children being severally punished for the ignorance of their parents is no better than what Hitler did! Your attitude scares me......

Denise commented on the article |I disagree with your comment. I was told about it by my husband. My husband was here legally. He over stayed by a few weeks to help me with my business. We were told for him to leave and he did. It was the jerks at the border who felt he was a terrorist and did not care about the truth. He told them what happened and asked to be allowed to leave. They refused and put him in prison.
After tons of money spent on a stupid worthless attorney, he remained in prison for 3 months. He went to his hearing told the judge the truth as to what happened showed her his ticket to leave. But they refused to allow him out to leave on his own and told him he will spend 2+ years in prison while I spent the money to file all the paperwork.
Even then there was no guarantee he would be accepted. He was from Holland for God's sake. No criminal record, nothing. The prison conditions where so bad that I could not allow this man to sit in there for who knows how long. For what?
They forced a deportation knowing very well a 10 year ban would follow. The U.S. does not want anyone in this country that was not born here. End of story. They do not and won't support any marriages that are cross border. They would rather kick out the one who was not born here, rip the couple and family apart and probably prefer the woman or spouse to leave her own country.
One less immigrant in right? Must keep those numbers up!

I am amazed as I thought I was the only one who this had happened to as well. My husband is Dutch, and came to California on a Visa Waiver to visit his brother. I met him online and we dated, fell in love and got married.
I had just started my own business and he knew he needed to leave. He overstayed by about a week. He had a flight out of Canada as he was going to stop and visit a family friend then leave the following day.
He borrowed his brother's truck to drive to Canada. That day some Orange Alert happend and the borders where tightened up. Well he was stopped at the border of Canada and asked all kinds of questions. He showed them his ticket anyway it went from bad to worse. They refused him entry and sent him back into the U.S. He explained what happened to the U.S. border person and was arrested and charged with illegally entering the U.S. He was tossed into a hardcore prison.
After 3 months and a whole lot of money spent on an immigration attorney to no avail. the judge refused to allow him out while the paperwork got processed. This meant he would be forced to spend up to 2 years in this prison while the paperwork was getting filed that might allow him to stay.
He was not or never has been a criminal but certainly was treated like one. Starved in that horrible prison. Just like she said, he never saw day light, definiatley illegal the way he was treated against his basic human rights. No one cared and the attorney was worthless.
I told him this was not worth it and to allow deportation. I knew it would be a 10 year ban but to allow my husband to spend 2+ years in a hardcore prison just to be allowed to maybe, and that was big maybe to stay in the U.S.?
I could not believe this, I was ashamed of my own country. He was finally deported with a 10 year ban and I knew a marriage would not survive that kind of seperation. I was forced by my own country to sell everything I had, give up my business, my family everything and leave my own country or divorce him and remain.
How is that for treatment of a U.S. Citizen. I know we will still be forced to be seperated for well over 2 years when I return and try to begin my life all over again in order to financially quailfy to get him in again. From what I have heard they may reject him anyways.
I never knew how bad our country treated people. Ripping families apart creating ever lasting hardships both emotionally and financially is down right cruel. In my opinion it violates our basic Human Rights. I am so homesick, and I am unable to find employment in this country. But I am allowed to be with husband here where my own country would not allow it and forced me out.
The strenghth you two have to endure this tragedy is amazing. You both will be in my thoughts and prayers. I am so ashamed to be an American in a way because of how they treat people who try to be honest about an error. They are severely punished for it and the family ripped apart with no care in the world by the U.S. Authorities. It makes me sick!
