Just a few days ago, Ricardo's dreams of becoming an international businessman focusing on environmental enterprises were suddenly shifted by a letter he received from immigration officials: he must leave the country he has known as his home by June 9. He is fighting his deportation and appeals to the community for help.

  • So was this guy cherry-picked or what? The CBO (Congressional Budget Office), a non-partisan organization, reports that illegal immigrants take more in tax money than they provide, and that the States and municipalities they take from have little recourse to recoup that money.

    Can't post links, but Google "The Impact of Unauthorized Immigrants on the Budgets of State and Local Government" The very first link is the CBO report.

  • i Feel so much respect for you and what you have done so far !!Guys why you are so selfish and cannot help anyone like they are plenty americans who have said : we dont want criminals here does he seems like one??? what are you talking about ???? or many americans are jealous what immigrants have done to this country and all went to colleges ! I totally understand you my friend is illegal and she faces deportation .:( !!Guys do something good in you re life and sign the bill dreamact.com/

  • I show much respect towards you and your family!!! You have all my support! It takes alot what you are doing and trying to achieve. The people that should get deported are the criminals not the ones that are trying to their best and getting an education! I really do hope that you dont get deported. YOu are going to be on my prayers! much luck ricky

    The best way to help Mexico is to keep them there until they force a change. Being a misplaced / bleeding-heart whackjob is not going to do it nor will throwing money at the problem. It's obvious that the politicians of Mexico have little to no interest in their own people or doing something about Mexico's failure. The people are used to living without law & bring their mentality here. Harsher penalties are much needed.

  • When a country built on laws begins to allow these laws to be broken without consequence the whole nation is in real trouble. Illegals KNOWINGLY violate the laws & understand that it is a great show of disrespect for them not to go back to their country of origin & apply to re-enter this country legally. How can legal citizens of this nation be expected to give these disrespectful illegals any sincere recognition? They first must learn respect before we can give them any.

  • Illegals are a nightmare in this country - deport the criminal!

  • @USRecovery2kX I think your anger is clouding your ability to read my message. We will always have an immigration system in the US. I'm not on a podium calling for the dream act, it was never mentioned at any point in my comment. Its obvious you don't want any immigration into this country at all. I am more of a realist, I want the standard to be set for who we want and most importantly who we need. Right know we need young educated professionals. To replace the massive retiring generation.

  • Our prayers for you Ricardo, and the best of luck to keep strong and to continue to be an example for Society, it is no about Legal or Iegal citizens is all about being kind successful and help others to reach their dreams to succed in life as well. God Bless you for all of your hard work and help in our communities. Ty!

  • Ricardo, best of luck with your petition. I see you've got 7,375 signatures so far, including mine. Your supporters will follow your case closely and pray that you can remain in this country and continue your contributions to the community and earn your college degree. You are destined for great things!
