worth noting:

breaking immigration law is a civil offense not a criminal one

From missionlocal:

“‘You need to be earning a certain amount of money, which I wasn’t, to sponsor Murat,’ explained Mrs. Celebi-Ariner.”

No, he didn’t have any chance. His wife mentioned that she didn’t make enough money to sponsor him (it’s 125% of federal poverty 3 years back and proof you’ve not been using social services). If he had submitted an application it would have been rejected, automatically.

Its so, so sad that this guy and his family have to leave the country. I mean really, its tough getting your papers together while thousands of other people who came here to flee the f*cked up systems in their countries are being deported everyday that make less than this man.

Can the people who only voice their support for someone that clearly has (had) more opportunity to stay than the majority of people who were really, true trying to make a better life away from political strife and extreme class division please also get deported for being idiots?

immigration policy in this country is crap. having said that, i’d be delighted if i was a matter of paperwork away from a green card given that in 6 short months i have to ship out back to the old country.
anyone want to get married?… anyone?

As a (legal) immigrant myself, I have to say: boo hoo. He missed the deadline – he knew he was illegal – he had ample time to become legal…

Yes the immigration process sucks and takes a long time – but at least he had the chance to do it the right way – but alas, he didn’t and now he has the suffer the consequences (which were known)….

sorry for the negativity, but having worked hard for my legal status, my patience for people who don’t and then complain is no longer…..

How awful, to be “treated like a criminal” just for breaking a law.

im a big fan of deportation, so maybe my views shouldn’t be considered in life. i think it would be much more interesting here if we only had people from one place, like moraga maybe. i just met this girl from moraga and she’s pretty hot, so…….anyways yay america! get ICE’d out! fuck SFWeekly!

This whole notion of ‘borders’ just sucks.

Oh no, now they have to live in France, with socialized medicine and six-week summer vacations and amazing public transportation. Terrible.
