What the hell is wrong with this country? Here we have a case of an 11-year-old girl who has lived in this country since she was two, whose dad is an American citizen and yet INS says she has to go because of a paperwork snafu.
The news came as a shock to Ewelina’s parents. Her mother has a green card and her father is a U.S. citizen. Hubert Bledniak said they just found out their attorney missed a deadline in 2001 that would have allowed Ewelina to apply for her green card while in the United States.
What kind of message is that? Do the right thing and get kicked out, but manage to come across the southern border and speak Spanish and the doors of this country are wide open.
Ewelina Bledniak hasn’t been in Poland since she was 2 years old, but now immigration officers are ordering her to return and wait a year before she can come home.
“I was really sad because I’m going to have to leave so much,” said Ewelina.
The 11-year-old, who goes to school in Forsyth County, is seen as an illegal immigrant by the feds.
“She has to leave (the) country before July 23, if not, she’ll be deported. If she stays here and they deport her, she will not get back here for 10 years,” said Agnes Bledniak, Ewelina’s mother.
Her parents are not here illegally. I wouldn't think she is illegal in any sense of the word since her dad is an American citizen.
