I met the love of my life the summer of 2007. We got engaged and everything was wonderful until he was in a car crash and the police ran his papers. He came here without papers because there was a 'blood fued' and Mitch had destroyed his family's land. He survived because he came here, many others did not. Now ICE has him and is going to deport him to Honduras, where I fear for his safety. We do not have children yet, but desperately want to. And I am crushed that I cannot leave school for 2 more years to be with him. I am so angry at this country that was built by immigrants but does not accept new ones. All I want is to be married to the love of my life, but I can't because of the government!

Oh my God. I was touched by just reading your story and I agree with the fact that immigrants built this country we love so much and call America! For them to deport the love of your life is crushing and I send my apologies out to you and wish you the best of luck. I was doing this project because my teacher was absent and really had no interest but you changed that with one of the many real stories about how the government handles immigration.
