URGENT: Ernesto Valladares (A# 074 586 007)  has been trying for over a decade to adjust his status. He has a wife & 4 US citizen children, one is in the military and another is in ROTC (enlisting after high school). Founded and is president of the Latin American Soccer league, also Co-founder of Centro Cultural Latino (now LUDA).

He is a tax-paying businessman who volunteered to serve those in need & left homeless during the April 27th tornadoes in Birmingham & Tuscaloosa. His wonderful children love him very much. He has a large body of supportive friends and relatives who do not want to see him deported. Separating Ernesto from his family is wrong, but especially since his children are citizens and serve this country!
