One tenth of the U.S. soldiers who have died in Iraq have been immigrants. But not all of their parents have qualified for green cards. Tools

Earlier this year President George Bush commuted the sentence of Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff. In so doing, the President spared Libby two and a half years in prison for his conviction for lying to federal investigators. The President cited Libby's "exceptional public service" and prior lack of a criminal record as explanation for his action. He concluded that Libby's sentence was "excessive" and the punishment "harsh."

In light of the sacrifice made by Armando Soriano, one wonders whether deporting his father is a far more "excessive" and "harsh" punishment?

Do you think this is fair that some of these parents of dead soldiers will have to leave this country? This is turning into a double tragedy for these families.

  • The term "used like a sheet of toilet paper" comes to mind...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
