Lawyers seek public support for couple fighting deportation

Nakakahiya! This is a disgrace to all Pilipinos who legally emigrated and have followed the law even if it is difficult and frustrating at times. Magpapalusot pa kasi! Nasa States na pero style unggoy pa rin ang ginagamit. Nagmamaangmaangan pa! It was never an honest mistake since they keep on waving the issue that he is a doctor and he did not know this detail? Too many shortcuts in their lives! Shame on them for making this a race issue. What are they showing their children & grandchildren that it is okay to circumvent the law based on personal selfish intentions? To all you so called supporters, please do not use race as an issue. Open your eyes and see the truth since this is not a race issue but rather a breaking the law and law enforcent issue!

"The Servanos, parents of four U.S. citizens and prominent members of their central Pennsylvania community, could be deported to their native Philippines because of a change in their marital status during their visa-application process more than 20 years ago.The case began in 1978 when the Servanos -- single at the time -- applied for U.S. visas. They did not receive them until after they were married, but U.S. officials were not notified of the change in their marital status.

Immigration officials noticed the discrepancy when the Servanos applied to be U.S. citizens in 1990. They accused the couple of misrepresentation and began deportation proceedings, Cotler said."

Did I read the above statements correctly? They moved here in the 80s and did not apply for citizenship until in the 90s. They have been battling this since then?

While these people seem like nice upstanding people (the kind we surely need here), the fact that they can be here this long on a visa is disconcerting. No wonder there are so terrorists just waiting to do us harm. We apparently allow people in and then forget about them.
