Cumming (Georgia, USA) — The family of an 11-year-old Forsyth County girl is trying to keep her from having to return to Poland next month because the family missed a deadline to apply for the right for her to remain in the U.S.
The girl, Ewelina Bledniak, hasn’t been in Poland since she was 2 years old. Immigration officials say she must return there and wait a year before she can come home.
Hubert Bledniak, Ewelina’s father, is a U.S. citizen. He says an attorney missed a deadline in 2001 that would have allowed Ewelina to apply for a green card.
The Bledniaks say they’re not optimistic about winning a legal battle before the girl’s July 23 deadline, so they’ve bought plane tickets to accompany her to Poland.
Ewelina will stay with her grandmother in Poland until she gets her green card.
He skin is the wrong color.
Too bad she’s not related to the TOTUS.
She should get Obama’s Aunt’s attorney.
If her father is a citizen, isn’t she also a citizen?
“”Her skin is the wrong color.””
AND Zero’s aunt gets to flaunt herself in front of cameras and is due for an immigration hearing in February 2010?
Sick!
A story like this, once a month, makes it sound as though this heart-breaking exception is the rule cold-hearted Americans want to enforce.
wow, now if she were from say south of the border or from Haiti
Complete and utter insanity. We’ve got 12 million illegals from Mexico in this country and the government goes after an 8 year old daughter of citizens. What a third world country we are....
This is plain dumb.
No one but a bureaucrap would insist on this.
On top of that if the U.S. has a trustworthy ally in the world it is Poland.
Unless there is more to this than stated in the post, this should be a no-brainer. Unfortunately the average bureaucrat is a “no-brainer”.
I don’t understand. If her Father is a naturalized citizen why isn’t she, being minor, automatically naturalized as well? Women come over from our southern border, squat and pop out a kid and the whole derned family gets a pass.
This whole thing stinks to high heaven.
All the illegals running around this country, and they choose to go after this little girl? Doesn’t make sense.
Yes. I'm convinced that while ignoring blatant violations of immigration law, they cherry pick cases like this to push in order to make our laws appear to be cruel.
Applying the slightest common sense would solve this, but they don't want to solve it.
She’s the wrong nationality. If she were a Mexican she’d have a bright future cleaning hotel rooms, scrubbing toilets, and giving birth to 14 future drug gang members. Decent people that aren’t from due south have no place in the New America.
Just illustrates how stupid our immigration laws are. Her father is a US citizen, yet she can be deported. Anchor babies with neither parent a citizen are given automatic citizenship and end up being the excuse for many others remaining in the US. Citizenship should come only from parents or naturalization of legal immigrants or refugees (which is another big scam).
Just another reassurance that we have allowed total IDIOTS to run our country.
I wonder how much longer we will be stupid enough to put up with total lack of any common sense on the part of the federal government. Its time to kick ALL of the bums out and start over. Maybe elect some people that don’t want to be career politicians.... which is the cause of most of our troubles.
It’s too bad she’s not a “LATINA”. Then the courts would have “empathy” for her.
You’ve got to be kidding! One young girl from our ally POLAND is supposed to return to her homeland while millions of illegal aliens are allowed to stay, drive, receive college educations, and even (apparently) vote?
This is staggeringly stupid and irresponsible. At least I hope no one puts a gun to her head like they did in the Elio Gonzalez case.
