You are a sad man Davdah. Life for you is all about money and benefits and you can't see anything past that.
Sad indeed.

I'm sad? Oh please you must be joking. It is a sad reality that many people will do most anything for it, that I will agree on. That is what ultimately drives people to do things they normally wouldn't do. Like break the law. Would you agree?

So tell me, how did you arrive at this erroneous conclusion.



Vote Republican and this country will still be worth sneaking into.

would any of you want a medical diagnosis from a lying, fraud-commiting visa cheat? How could you trust anything this 'doctor' says? I wouldn't let this dufus change a bed pan.

Yeah, I would 100%, because in all walks of life, from a table cleaner to a university professor, or from a care provider to Bill Gates, I look at the face of humanity, way, way past immigration status.

Davdah, S12, Beverly, SOM,
You are not worth my time answering your questions.
As for your libelous comments, S12, if I cared enough, I'd see you in court.
I never cheated in my life. I obtained my status the legal way, and never lied.
I told my story here on this board and everyone here knows it too.
Don't waste your time my friends on these worthless creatures. It's not worth it.

**** I feel special now. I made the front of your list Ipollock. So tell me, how did I accompish that? The only reason I ever directed verbal hostilities in your direction was your support of lying, cheating, subversion, etc. You said yourself that anyone who came here had to lie. Does that include yourself?

I never heard your story, oh do tell.

Ok, S12, so according to you, I should have said to my boyfriend: listen dear, we can't get married because I promised a consul back in Cracow 4 years ago that I will go back home after I graduate. Sorry... no wedding.


I did go back home. And then we got married. So how is this cheating?

The reality is you all are ANTI-IMMIGRANT.
Not just illegal, but also legal in any shape and form.
If you are pro-legal immigration as you claim, then why not increase legal immigration then? How about doubling it?
And while we're at it, why are you so upset about this particular way of breaking the law when there are lots of others that are not enforced?
Ask yourself these questions first. But oh wait, you and I already know the answer.
You are against immigration and immigrants. Period.

If its a true fact you didn't abuse the system to come here then I'd give a pass. I don't know if pollocks are smart enough to lie so maybe you are telling the truth.

Well I guess if the USA like to deport the Servano Family, the family (Servano) should try apply to Canada. Anyways, they are still young at age 54 and his wife. They should start looking at the other side of the Border. For sure they will be qualified as anew immigrant of Canada based to their resumes and Profiles. Canada is hunting of good and productive peoples like the Servanos. Go Canada Then Servano Family! I will help you there.

1. A family from the Phillipines knows better than ANY FAMILY ON THE PLANET exactly HOW to get to the US. Its a part of the culture and CHAIN MIGRATION is an instrinsic part of Phillipiono life. The parents and the children the now adults asking for mercy in this case knew exactly what they were doing because they would have had to get in the back of the line as "married children of US Citizen parents" VS "unmarried children of US Citizen parents". So they kept the marriage hush-hush hoping it would go unnoticed.


FIRST. This kind of generalization in the first and second statements of this paragraph shows narrow-mindedness and error. I'm glad that I have read this far to CORRECT this. I am from the Philippines and I personally know at least 3 people who are children of US citizens (these are US citizens who originally came from the Philippines) who didn't want to go and live here in the US. I asked them why and they are just enjoying their work in the Philippines. They do go to the US frequently during holidays and for several years, they have been shuttling to and fro to spend Christmases with their parents who are here in the US. (FYI, it's "Filipino," not "Phillipiono.")

SECOND. How in the world can a Philippine family know better than ANY FAMILY ON THE PLANET how to get here in the US? Of course, a Phil. family based here in the US would definitely know what to do to get their family members here in order to get that objective, but to say that they would know it better than "ANY FAMILY ON THE PLANET", isn't that a denigration of the intelligence of other families not from the Philippines who also know how to bring their family members here? That's giving us too much credit. (Of course, this situation of this couple shows that indeed, they didn't know better than any other family on the planet because they didn't do it right.)

THIRD. I don't know the nuances of immigration laws here in the US but I do understand that if people violate the law, there is a consequence. I am actually just following the discussion here which is very informative (disregarding the posts which obviously just wastes everybody's time) since there are so many angles. If this couple indeed were guilty, I personally feel that it's a sad consequence that they indeed have to leave. After all, isn't it a part of human nature that we all want to be near our families/loved ones?
I just wish that since there are so many more illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds and/or with criminal activities, it would be better for all of us here that those were deported first.

FOURTH. I totally agree with Hudson on his comment (first paragraph) regarding that paragraph. It's obvious why. Following his line of thinking, I am sure he would be in defense of any race/country if the statement is erroneous.


Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, as long as ever you can.

Spring should bring good news for Servanos

Published January 06, 2008 12:47 am

A lawyer representing the Servanos — the Selinsgrove family faced with deportation to the Philippines — believes Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials may reconsider a court ruling against the family by as early as March.


By Damian Gessel
The Daily Item

A lawyer representing the Servanos — the Selinsgrove family faced with deportation to the Philippines — believes Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials may reconsider a court ruling against the family by as early as March.

Gregg Cotler, attorney for Dr. Pedro and Salvacion Servano, on Friday said he and other lawyers are in discussions with ICE’s trial counsel to consider the possibility of reopening the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ 2002 decision to deport the prominent local couple.

“It’s too soon to tell what will happen,” Mr. Cotler said. “But we feel the momentum is with us now.”

Mr. Cotler added that he and others believe the Servanos’ case is clear and substantive. ICE officials, he said, have so far been cooperative.

“We don’t want the Servanos forgotten. We don’t want them to be visited one day by a new letter saying they’re going to be deported. We want a once-and-for-all deal. We want this issue to be dealt with now,” he said.

The Servanos are currently in the midst of an indefinite Department of Homeland Security-granted stay of deportation. They are currently under no timeline to report to ICE.

Mr. Cotler said he and the family’s other lawyers will continue to discuss the case with ICE throughout January, after which they’re hopeful the original deportation proceedings will be revisited.

The Servanos received a letter in Oct. of 2007 from the Department of Homeland Security informing them they would be deported to the Philippines. The letter came as the culmination of 17 years worth of legal wrangling over the couple’s original visas, which stated they were single when they came to the United States from the Philippines in the early 1980s. In fact, they had been married when they entered America.


God Bless America and everyone else!

Perfectly Legal Immigrants, Until They Applied for Citizenship

By JULIA PRESTON
Published: April 12, 2008

""The Servanos are among a growing group of legal immigrants who reach for the prize and permanence of citizenship, only to run afoul of highly technical immigration statutes that carry the severe penalty of expulsion from the country. ... Largely overlooked in the charged debate over illegal immigration, many of these are long-term legal immigrants in the United States who were confident of success when they applied for naturalization, and would have continued to live here legally had they not sought to become citizens." New York Times, Apr. 12, 2008."
