My son and daughter-in-law, Anya thought they were doing everything right. They got college degrees, married, work long hours, pay taxes, and stay out of trouble. They were overjoyed to learn that they are expecting a baby in September. Suddenly, Anya is being deported to the Ukraine because she came to the US ten years ago as a child with her mother, and her mother overstayed her visa. Now they must quit their jobs, lose their much needed health insurance (my son has a chronic disease and needs surgery soon), sell all their belongings, and move to a country that neither of them know. Because of the actions of her mother, Anya is being severely and cruelly punished. This is also devasting to many other friends and family members. When they asked Immigration to postpone the deportation so that the baby could be born here where they would have health insurance and decent hospitals, they were told "There is no way that we are going to allow that to happen". These two wonderful, kind-hearted, young people have done absolutely nothing to be treated this way by our government. Something must be done to change this horrible, unjust law.
