My
husband was detained in June by immigration. My son is now 1 ½.
We just built a house. I pushed for us to live for our future even
though we were in proceedings. I never dreamed my country would do
this to us. I thought we would win. We didn't. My husband made a minor
mistake in 1996 but wasn't sentenced until 1997, to probation. He
has not been in trouble since. He was here legally for 23 years and
at 40 he is in jail and being taken from his son and wife, both citizens.
Not only do I need to figure out how to raise my son and keep a roof
over his head but raise him as a proud American after they took his
Daddy away. How? We are supposed to be the greatest country. They
torture these people by locking them up for as long as they want just
because they were not born here. Death would be less painful. I am
not a proud American and we are just yet another number. Murderers
and rapist are on the streets. Great country huh.

I am sorry that this happened to your
family. My family just went through the same thing. My husband was
detained in June 07 after being in this country for 24 yrs. He is
a LPR yet served 7 months. I am a citizen and so are his children.
We fought immigration after 7 months of physical, emotional and
financial stress. But we won in the end with God's help and a lot
of research from me. He is back home. Don't give up. There are so
many families that are going through the same thing we went through.
We need to do our own research and get involved with the lawyers.
Stay strong. Sometimes God put us in a road that at that moment
we don't understand, but he has a purpose for you're family. Stay
strong, pray and get involved.
