Arthur Mkoyan - Valedictorian Facing Deportation

Arthur is asking for your support letters to send to Feinstein and to build a case for his private bill. It won't take long so please send them in. Fire them off to artmkoyan@gmail.com

He's graduating at the top of his class, but a Fresno honor student is facing deportation.

Arthur Mkoyan is a valedictorian at Bullard High School. He's just a week away from graduation but he may have to head to Armenia instead of college.

17-year-old Arthur Mkoyan is a straight 'A' student, caught in a bureaucratic and legal mess that is threatening to force him out of the country where he grew up.

He's preparing to graduate from Bullard High School, where he has achieved a 4.0 grade point average.

Fellow students at Bullard High don't think he should be forced to leave this country.

Arthur's family has been seeking political asylum here since they fled the old Soviet Union in 1992 but the US government told them there is not enough evidence to grant asylum; no proof that they'd be persecuted if they returned.

Students at Bullard think the rules should be changed for a person who works so hard to succeed.

Arthur is being allowed to go through graduation ceremonies and receive his diploma, and ten days later he is scheduled to be deported.

His principal said the school is proud of what he's done and they're honored to have him as a graduate.

Congressman George Radanovich is now getting involved in the case to see if there is a way to help keep Arthur and his family in America.

To every one how spew this "illegal is illegal" nonsense, I suggest everyone earn his/her citizenship, rather than bear it after birth; let many of the hard-leaning conservatives who advocate natural birth citizenship cry foul should their lack of merit bring deportation on themselves.

@kayferov21 I don't think those people are stupid that cross the border dude. They rather stand infront of home depot knowing at least they can live in peace than in their corrupt country. Same reason why most Armenians come here. That third world country sucks and it's useless. Tha'ts why more than half a million armenian live in glendale.

@rompeligas2234 You do have a point dude. The gov should gather up all those armos that bring down our name and ship them back to armenia. Not when some guy is getting a 4.0 GPA. My highest gpa was 3.2 and that's when i gave it all. 4.0??. That's what you call some fucked up shit.
