Solicitud de mujer a Obama conduce a detención de inmigrante

for those of you who don't read Spanish allow me to translate:

"Woman's Plea to Obama leads to detention of immigrant (June 10, 2010)

NY- A woman wrote to president Obama pleading for his aid in solving her husband's immigration problem, she received an unexpected response: federal agents arrived at her house in New York and took her husband to jail.

Police officers told The New York Times that the letter Caroline Jamieson had sent to the President was wrongfully rerouted to the department of immigration that handles immigrant fugitives. After the paper investigated the case, the man, Herve Fonkou Takoulo, was released.

Takoulo is an engineer from Cameroon. Came to the U.S. legally, but was ordered to leave the country after a judge turned down his request for political asylum. Now he has a second process underway for residency based on his marriage in 2005 with Jamieson.

However, he still has an order of deportation."

There's that . . . how scary that must've been. SO he has an order of deportation on him . . . he's an engineer . . . I wonder if he's working. Where are you Herve Fonkou Takoulo!

High-five "body of people in charge" for being an asshole! Probably scared the guy near death, not nice.

I gotta say I'm supersuperdeeduperly glad my parents were smart enough to start this process when they did, when I turned 9 is when the paper trail began. And that the deportation and all that crap happened when it did because had it happened after I turned 21 I'd be done for.

Everything happens for a reason and as painful as this has been I wouldn't change one bit of it.

PS- please comment on posts, ask me questions, share this with people you know without releasing my identity please. Let's get some conversation going in the blog so more people can find out about it ;)

MUCH LOVE!
