This sounds more like a bureaucratic snafu rather than any kind of malice ...

Bureaucracy is malicious, and pique and whim are the order of the day, every day.

Adam is a good guy, I’ll do what I can to help him help Anatolie.
Ed, Tell him “Hi” from the CPT photographer, Shooter.

He should be an illegal alien or from the Middle East. Then they would keep him.

while I don’t think this rises to the level of a presidential notice, you might want to be aware that the vast majority of this apparent miscarriage came during the Bush Administration before you come off sounding stupid.

ON the assumption that we control who gets in (a la Ellis Island). Prove for seven years that you will not be a public charge (ie, no crimes, NO wlefare), learn the language, learn our history, and learn our government structure. Do those four…welcome aboard champ.

Well, these folks have done just that, and the INS is kicking them out for it.

I was the 365th signer of the petition. That seems like a pretty low number so far.

Shoulda stated in his ap that he “hangs sheetrock” or “washes dishes” or “mows grass” and his visa would be stamped. Apparently, he wants to do a job that an American still wants to do.

An “over” qualified fitness instructor?

How the hell do you become “over” qualified for that?

Unless the aparatchiks are completely anti-Dean Wormers – they WANT Americans to go through life ‘fat, drunk, and stupid’.

More likely to vote Democrat.

I think, in some ways, that these two individuals have a better claim to be in America than I do. Let them stay.

Illegal alien good, legal H1B visa renewal for an upstanding candidate for citizenship bad. WTF?

This is the kind of Immigration Reform we need.I know a few people in similiar situations,who are skilled,have more than enough money to take care of themselves,love the USA,speak english very well,etc,etc(ones even married to a US citizen,but she cant live here)..but either cant stay,or cant even get in!Yet every town and city is being overburdened with illegals who can just walk in.Id dare say it IS racist.

If one party or the other would drop COMPREHENSIVE immigration reform, and just do constant, limited, sensible reforms, we’d do a lot of good for the country, and the end product would be a lot more “liberal” than you’d imagine possible.

I’m just saying that we get enough hits for stuff that we actually do. I don’t don’t think this can be laid on our doorstep.

Bleeds Blue on December 16, 2009 at 3:58 PM

Not on Bush. Not on Obama. This is big government in action. I will use this as a “hammer” for those that support more government involvement in our daily lives whether it is health care, education, etc.

I hate to say it, but he’ll get much more sympathetic and responsive treatment from the government if he just stays on and announces he has become an “undocumented immigrant” (to use Justice Sotomayor’s preferred terminology).

If justice fails him now, he and his wife will be forced to leave America for good.

Why? Illegal Aliens aren’t?

File papers, pay the fees, wait in line, obey the law, pay taxes while doing so: GET SCREWED

Swim across the Rio Grande: get free education, free health care, legal representation, food stamps, welfare, SCHIP for the kiddies and if anyone says anything about it scream racism at the top of your lungs while marching with an upside down US flag under a 5X7 Mexican flag

Welcome to America Obama style.
