Legal and Still Tossed

I have sent the following letter to our President, Vice President, the First Lady, 50 Governors, 99 Senators, and 250 Representatives. Only about five have replied, all saying it was someone else’s department. No one cares. I know he can’t be the only one this is happening to.

I am writing this letter because of something that happened two weeks ago.

My son-in-law is Mexican. He has been married to my daughter for over six years. He has his A number and he has permission (or did have) to be in the U.S. He was in Tucson Arizona, when the police picked him up, looking for illegal‘s. He told them he had his A number, and had permission to be here. They told him they didn’t care; they put handcuffs on him and beat him. Finally, they put him across the border. He had to walk three days to get to his hometown.

My grandkids, especially the eight- and seven-year-old keep asking when their dad is coming home. Do you have a good answer for them?

What is he supposed to do now?

He wasn’t supposed to be sent back there anyway, he was supposed to come back to his wife and kids. Are you going to let him back across as easily as the government threw him across to Mexico?

I wrote a few people and no one has the guts to answer me or they just don’t give a damn. Is this how they are going to treat any of the Mexicans who become legal? If it is, why should they even bother to become legal in the first place?

Thank you for any information you can give me. I would really like to see my son-in-law back home with his children where he belongs, he shouldn’t have been treated that way. He is a good decent family man

By "A number" that is the file number on the paper work threw immigration. When you call immigration, they will usually ask for your "A number". A reporter that wrote about immigration and immigration law, for 13 years, so she says didn't know this.

I have also emailed 160 letters to the editors. It seems they don't care about the legal ones getting tossed. They want to keep the uproar going over the illegals going.
