immigration advocacy

i have been following a story that the columbus dispatch covered about a family from liberia who may be split up b/c of deportation. i thought i would link to the articles.

article 1
article 2
article 3

if you're so inclined; write these congress people and ask that they intervene on behalf on sunny and bernice bryant:

senator sherrod brown
u.s. representative steve chabot

i don't know this family- but it sounds like they have been caught up into the worst of the immigration system's bureaucratic jaws. the immigration process for our family has been an eye opener of how involved, expensive and scary maintaining legal status and adhering to the law while being self sustaining can be... i really empathize with this family's situation. i am glad i can take some kind of action on their behalf.
