They have been here twenty years supporting the community. They work hard, pay taxes and employ people in their store. They have children and grandchildren who are citizens. Why can't they stay?

You have no clue do you? Just how many more are here under the same conditions with nothing good in mind for we the US citizens. I'll shed no tears for these people. They've had way too long to make it right and chose not to. Bye Bye!

how can u say they chose not to make it right?? did u read the article at all before commenting?? I do not know these people but according to the article they have been fighting for yrs..
they have been here for a very long time, run their own store and do not take from the government so what exactly is the problem with them staying??
I can see illegals getting boot because they r milking the system yes NP boot them out but hard working people who have done nothing other than try to have a better life , I just don't see where the problem is with them being here.. besides he is 68 or something come on leave them alone and let them live in this country amongst their family..
as long as it is not costing u anything why should any of us care if they stay..

ok so because he happens to be from Iran originally, the country we r obviously at war with.. suddenly he is a suspected spy WTF.. he is 68 yrs old and his family has been here at least 20 yrs from what I read and if him and his wife r deported he could get stoned to death by law for an inter religious marriage.. oh yes sure sounds like spy material to me..
give me a break.. a 68 yr old man and his wife who have run the local corner store for almost 20 yrs have been secretly giving usa information to iran.. wow did u open ur eyes before saying that or were u still dreaming..

Are these the same illegals that got on the wrong bridge some years ago and were detained in Canada for a period of time? Same BS, in the newspaper whining about how they want to be Americans. Why are they STILL in this country? Should we leave all the illegals alone, as WTF suggests? Wonder where he's from, Pakistan perhaps?

Do they fly an American Flag proudly on the front of their house? Do they Fly the American Flag proudly in front of their store? Do they believe in the United States Constition? Have they read the United States Constition? Would they fight for this country? Do they speak our language? Do they know the "Pledge Allegiance To The Flag" our flag and not theirs? Are they willing to S H I T can their garb and dress like an American? Is their Alliance with Iran or are they saying its with the United States just to live here. Have they paid their fair share of their taxes?

If they said no to any of the above then its "BYE BYE" time I am sick and tired people coming into this country because its a better palce to live, and if their country is not a better place to live then its time for them to get on their high horse and make it a better place to live. Amen

how many on here have honestly read the constitution word for word..sry but not a valid point .. we all know r rights and basics but very few of us have ever read the entire constitution including every preamble to it..
now people dressing like an American come on so what they honor there religion which might i add FREEDOM OF RELIGION is a right in this country.. r u going to next state a jew should not be here cause he wheres his religious head piece.. does that make him any less American??
this country was built for the people and created by the people.. all IMMIGRANTS WHEN THEY ARRIVED..
if they have paid there taxes and done the things that r in that article let them stay and leave them alone..
Knowing the Pledge of Allegiance for the USA I understand and is also a requirement to becoming a USA citizen I believe.. regardless
