Can anyone explain why my father who lived in the United States legally for over 30 years was exiled?
Answer:
He was not "exiled". He was deported. He committed a violent crime, I'm assuming your mother or a sibling was the victim. He had a history of violating the law.
After 30 years, he was not a citizen, ergo, he was deported.
What is criminal is creating such a dysfunctional family that he harmed but continues to believe he did nothing wrong.
Are you handicapped? Did he beat six children to the point of physical-impairment.? Or did he just warp your pysche?
He "disabled" your family by his actions.
PS. It is not our fault that Iran's health care is substandard.
It is not our fault your father committed crimes and was deported.
Sounds like there is more than meets the eye here.
that's sad stuff, sorry it happened
crap happens daily for everyone, what can I say?
"He started a family but because of his alcohol problems he got a domestic violence charge and went to jail for 2 years"
this isn't a "good man" its a horrible man who doesn't deserve being in the United States illegally.
I'm glad he is gone. His kids should be too.
Why? Because we have a really screwy government, and there are a LOT of unfair things that go on that most people don't know about. My mom said there were still slaves here? And, there is toture, too. It's all lies.
good man despite the fact that he probably beat his wife from your question? ya thats a good man in my book *rolls eyes* and if he was here legally how could he get sent back? and i guess that sucks about the medicine but hence you do the crime you pay the fine..
Well unfortunately folks like refuges have conditions on what allows them to stay in the country. Getting busted by the cops seems to be what it took.
Immigration is a mess though. Iranians and Cubans get sent back when they have real life or death problems while mexicans can illegally come to the US and they get rewarded for it.
The phrasing makes me believe he's not a citizen, so tehy have more leeway in expelling him. You may see it being harsh, but It might not be in the eye of your mother or who ever he attacked. I do believe that there was a bias due to him being from Iran, and I am appalled at this , but I'm an even greater enemy on domestic violence.
I think the law says a felony conviction puts a person on a fast track to deportation. If he didn't know that all I can say is "ignorance of the law is not an excuse". If he did know it then by doing the crime he agreed to doing the time. His legal status was contingent on his obeying the law.
Sorry, he blew it.
A jury and the legal system as a hole can't just brush off a conviction because a person is sick. I have diabetes, should I be allowed to slap my wife around and just go on about my business. It may be fine in Iran to beat your family members but this is not Iran.
no father is a good father if he results to domestic violence. sorry but no one is going to feel sorry for a drunk with a habit of domestic violence towards the family he supposedly loved so much.
He should have solved his own problems, along with whoever charged him with domestic violence. Don't let the law solve your problems. The law does not care what is right or what is wrong, only what the law is. That's why it is said a person who defends themselves before the law has a fool for a client.
it's not fair. it's also not fair when an American goes threw the same thing, his children also suffer. look at the 2 border patrols who was doing a job America hired them to do. their kids cry all the time for their fathers. they are having problems also. and these 2 men was not violent.
All I hear is blah blah blah blah.
Living in a country is a privilege. You pay taxes and follow the law. When you do wrong on either, then expect to go to prison or be thrown out.
I think that because he broke the law (enough times you said he did "minor" offences) immigration had enough and decided that since he wasn't going to change he was to be sent back. Did you apply to see if he could stay in America because his health was bad? BTW how bad was the abuse? Was it physical (did you see bruises on your mother or siblings) or sexual? Or was it just shouting and emotional abuse? Did he have refuge status or was still on a green card or was he an illegal immigrant?
Your situation reminds me of Robert Jovicic’s case. He was born in France, to Yugoslavian parents, came to Australia with his parents when he was about 2 years old, never got citizenship (depsite calling himself Australian), committed a string of bulgaries, did drugs. Immigration finally got annoyed and tossed him back to Serbia. He was crying, wandering near the Australian embassy and his sister and her family were trying to get him back to Australia but this guy had enough chances and wasn't going to change and the guy needed a kick in the backside to show him what could happen if he didn't.
This year Immigration gave him a Special Purpose Visa (SPV) for him to remain in Australia and look for work which was valid fo 2 years.
Immigration can be tough no matter which country you're in. If you come over you're a guest and you have to obey the host's rules.. if not, you're out. You wouldn't want some stranger walking into your house insulting you, would you?
