The short summary, after Delfin Cuevas and his family overstayed their visitor's visas and their attempts to obtain legal immigration status failed, the INS is intent on deporting them on June 30th. The three children did not even know their status until last December. They were raised here and this is their home. The parents worked hard, paid taxes and put their children through school. The eldest just graduated from CSU Hayward and the other 2 are still attending college.

PLEASE HELP THIS STOP THIS INJUSTICE!

We’re in our final week of the fight for their stay and we’re asking
supporters to attend a candlelight vigil on their behalf on Wednesday evening. We’re hoping that we can make a final appeal to Sen. Boxer given that there will be a lot of attention that day on the Democratic party’s election races since Sen. Kerry will be in town.
