Boy in U.S. 13 years may be deported to Russia


A 16-year-old honors student from Fremont who has lived in this country since age 3 faces deportation to his native Russia because his mother wasn't able to get her immigration status in order.

Both Eugene Kotelnikov, a sophomore at Washington High School, and his mother, Tatiana Miroshnik, 37, must return to Russia by June 18 on orders of the U.S. government.

If that happens, Miroshnik would be leaving behind her two U.S.-born daughters from her second marriage, Tatiana Martinez, 9, and Nastasia Martinez, 7.

Miroshnik came to Fremont 13 years ago with her son to marry a California man she had met in Russia. But the relationship ended in divorce, as did her second marriage to the father of her young daughters.

Miroshnik has since married for the third time. Federal agents arrested and then released her May 19 for overstaying her time in the United States on a marriage visa.

If she is deported, she will have to wait 10 years to apply to re-enter this country. Her son could be forced to live in a culture that is foreign to him and, at age 18, enter the Russian army.

He can't apply for some sort of stay? Does his stepdad just not like him?

It's ridiculous to deport someone who's lived in America for 95% of their life, is culturally American, and never made a willing decision on whether or not to immigrate.

You should be deported.

Groan.
 
It has happened all to often. A big part of what is occuring is because of bad immigration laws put into place as knee jerk reactions to 911 and demands for immigration reform stemming from Mexican illegal immigration in recent years. Bad laws have been passed that tie the hands of Judges who wish to apply judicial common sense.

I know in my wife's case I didn't fuck around. Obtaining her permanent residence status was a top priority and I didn't blow that off. Now she's eligible for citizenship and that will be taken care of too, soon. I'm not going to wait around until some incident occurs and more bad laws are put into place that would prevent her from becoming a citizen.

Unfortunately some asshole always filibusters it and it can't get 60 votes in the senate.
