Immigration Equality

[Greyson]

My heart goes out to Vlasta. This entire Immigration thing is a bone of contention for me. I have had contact with Immigration Equlity Now. They were supportive and as helpful as they legally could be.

I know you are aware the US Supreme Court has recently agreed to hearing a case regarding the State of Arizona Immigration laws. This case will be watched very closely. It is suspected it will be ruled on by the November 2012 Presidential election. The crux of it is about States vs Federal law regarding the enforcement and interpretation of Immigration Law.

Unfortuanately, politically it is a very bad time for immigrants, legal or illegal. Here in California, there have been a few documented cases of American born Latino Citizens being detained for days to be deported.

I know nothing about Georgia law. I would also recommend that Vlasta bring clergy with her to the courtroom and/or letters from clergy and community leaders that speak favorably of her son and his contribution to the community.

I am ashamed when I hear my country, America is doing this to a veteran. Honorably discharged veterans should not have to go through this. I don't care where they were born. If they served honorably in the US military they should be given the opportunity to become a citizen and live here.
