So this wednesday 2/1/12 my dad has been arrested for deportation after living here in the U.S for 18 years and all of a sudden they decide to take him away. I was born here and my dad gives me all the support and is my caregiver. Him leaving our family will devastate my whole family, and my life. I won't be able to go to my school, i won't have someone to give me all the necessities i would need to survive... not only that, my brother and i would be put into foster care and we can't live a life like that. My dad has never faced any criminal charges, and has always paid his taxes everytime. He has followed every rule and hasn't broken a law. What right does the government have to split a family apart? We've lived a regular life for so long and this happens all of a sudden. My dad is most likely going to be deported , and right now I'm the only hope. No laywer wants to take my dad's case, the goverment dismissed my dad's case which is causing him to be deported because they assumed my dad lied for his mistakes caused by his speaking problems, is that fair?  My 7 year old brother and I rely on my dad for everything without him we are nothing and have nothing. We'd lose our education, our opportunities which no other country is able to give, like we can get here, our family and friends,but most importantly we would lose OUR home we were born at and if my dad gets deported , we have to move with him because he gives everything we need. The government does not have any authority to make 2 citizens who are kids life hell. Not only that, my dad has a business here which supports all of our needs, giving us our food, clothes shelter, transportation and the other little thing.  He will lose his business, his family , his belongings. And when he goes to Bangladesh he won't have any of that because he earned all the things he has now with hardwork, respect and trust.To prevent this from happening i need to find all the support i can, i want my dad back home and be together as a family again.  Honestly, reality hasn't hit me yet, and i still can't believe any of this is happening and i don't want this to happen. If my dad does get deported he can not come back until 10 years later....  i'd never guess in a million years this would happen to my dad. Him going affects all of us.

Total nonsense. tearing families apart over paperwork issues when he has been a pillar of the community for nearly two decades. Shameful.

This is just heartbreaking. Keeping a father away from his kids who have done nothing wrong is so cruel. Praying for your family.

18 years? He has been here longer than most people have been working at their jobs. This system is broken.
