Wow, I will definitely be praying for Sylvia. <br /><br />My eyes were opened a lot during my 5 years in San Antonio working at Baptist University of the Americas. There were many people I met during that time struggling with the injustice of US immigration laws, which for 100 years have favored northern European immigration, especially over against Latin Americans and Asians. That somewhat smells like racism to me.Arnie Adkisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846687068106003647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10335778.post-68429180309160884712010-05-20T13:54:21.460-06:002010-05-20T13:54:21.460-06:00Thanks for taking the time to sit down and share y...Thanks for taking the time to sit down and share your thoughts on this, Arnie.<br /><br />As I was praying for a woman today at lunch who is facing deportation back to the Philippines, and has two children and a husband (all of whom are US citizens), I realized first-hand what an evil thing this really is.<br /><br />What's the benefit to sending this woman back to the Phillippines? She has a job. She pays taxes. She has 2 children who need her. She has a husband who loves her.<br /><br />How can we say we're pro family, or pro marriage and still support breaking up this family and this marriage for something so arbitrary?<br /><br />Pray for Sylvia if you would. Her hearing is June 1st.Keith Gileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328300571647154699noreply@blogger.com
