Let's not make the same mistake the libtards do and just assume this guy was a criminal. From the scant info in the article, it sounds like he at least tried to play by the rules and got screwed over by lawyers.

If the article is on the level, then we ought to give guys like this a green card in return for every MS-13 gang banger deported.

...Haverhill Attorney Paul Magliochetti, whose law firm had been working to keep Leonce in the United States, said Tuesday Leonce had dealt with attorneys since immigrating to the United States in 1999, none of whom provided him with the proper assistance in becoming a legal citizen..."

Says the lawyer trying to keep him in the country. I don't really believe it. This is probably what the guy says, with no correspondence or proof of it. Haverhill is next to Lawrence and Lowell, and I am pretty sure has a large transient population composed of a lot of people who identify with this guy.

I understand your point, but I find it extremely hard to believe he couldn't find legal help to keep in in the USA at some point in the last ten years ESPECIALLY if he had standing that would allow him to do so.

Extremely hard.

Those towns are chock full of people who would help him and people like him, and a good number of them are most likely on state and town payrolls. Extremely leftist areas, IMO.

I think there is eventually going to be some kind of political deal made regarding illegals that many of us won't like, but if it is done in exchange for a wall and real immigration REFORM, I think it might be worth it.

I have heard a lot of stories of immigrants being ripped off by their lawyers. I’m not sure the state bar associations are policing this very well because the victims probably don’t file complaints that would highlight their status, even where the lawyer’s neglect or incompetence was the cause an immigrant or visa holder went from legal to illegal. I live in a relatively small California city and our main drag has lots of hole-in-the-wall offices advertising immigration legal help. Some look pretty sketchy.
