There was a manifestation of a hundred people with banners and cameras before my office in San Francisco about ten days ago.
Whoever crystallizes so much passion in the Bay of San Francisco (especially within the community of Asian American) for two weeks called Steve "Shing Ma Li, a student at university in San Francisco exemplary results and also the child of Chinese illegal immigrants. For two weeks, it became the symbol of the debate on those cases in the United States.
Steven was incarcerated in Arizona for two months pending deportation. His parents fled the one-child policy in China and took refuge Peru and Steven was born before coming to the U.S. when the latter was 12 twelve years. Their family was allowed to stay in the U.S. until 2002 but remained illegally before being arrested last September. Parents are being monitored with electronic bracelets and will have to return to China but Steven, who is officially Peru should be deported to Peru where he has no roots and no contact.
is Diane Feinstein, California Democrat Senator who came to her aid with a single piece of legislation which has resulted and will allow Steven to release. Only a small proportion of individual measures of this type lead as a rule but Diane Feinstein argues, referring in particular the political context with the Dream Act that would change everything. This bill had failed in September, worst time to legislate on anything in Washington because there was the impending elections on 2 November 2010. This debate is coming up in the Senate next month and would provide that all children of immigrants who came to the U.S. before the age of 15 can stay if they are enrolled at the university.
