The petition
A disconcerting injustice is stirring in America, the land of the free. A friend and model citizen, Evelyn Gonzalez, is being deported. Though she is not a legal residence of the United States, she has personified what it is to truly be American over the twenty-plus years that she has lived in the United States, through hard-work and a consistent moral behavior. This is a petition to prevent the impending deportation of Evelyn Gonzalez, a person who has exemplified the kind of person that is desired and sorely needed in America today.
THE FACTS:
Evelyn was born in Guatemala in February of 1985. The fallowing year her parents immigrated to the United States, to escape the impoverished and civil-war ravaged Guatemala.
Evelyn is now twenty-two years old. Over the years that she has resided in America, Evelyn attended Lexington (Nebraska) Public Schools. In high school she was involved in several extra-curricular activities, including soccer, cheerleading, pep club, and the Governor’s Youth Advisory Committee. This demonstrated activism, diligence, and leadership; all of these are valuable qualities for a person, an American, to possess.
After graduating high school with GPA acceptable to most universities, Evelyn acquired a work visa, and was willingly and steadily employed. She worked for a sales company out of Boston, MA., at Wal-Mart for nearly a year, a local pawn shop for almost two years.
Evelyn is also the primary caregiver to her youngest brother; he needs her. Also, Evelyn has never had any serious legal transgressions; she does not use drugs, nor is she a threat to national security. She’s just a hard-working, morally-sound individual. She’s law abiding, and a good friend. Essentially, Evelyn is an asset to this community, and to the nation, not a liability.
THE PROBLEM:
Over the twenty years that Evelyn’s family has lived in the U.S. her mother and siblings were granted a legal stay in this country, but Evelyn wasn’t. Now she is facing deportation. Evelyn is being sent back to Guatemala, where she knows no one. Her only connection to Guatemala, and quasi-resources there, is her elderly grandmother and estranged father.
THE SOLUTION:
DO NOT DEPORT EVELYN GONZALEZ.
The United States is the only place Evelyn has called home; it’s where she belongs, and is loved (and needed) by so many.
If you can recognize what a true injustice it would be to deport Evelyn would be, please sign this petition.
Help positively impact someone’s life.
Thank You.
