Sorry, Mr Vargas...
we don't care that you're married to an american citizen... we don't care that you started a business here and contributed to the economy as a good citizen should... we don't care that you've been here 20 years... you can now pack your bags and get the hell out...
i had a conversation with a woman from india just last evening... she and her family are planning to move back to india within a few years... she says that when she tells that to friends and acquaintances, they're astounded... "why would you ever want to leave the u.s. and go back THERE," they say... "do you know india?" she asks, "have you ever been there...?" "no," they respond, "but why would you ever want to leave HERE...?" think about it, folks... why, indeed... Submit To Propeller

The Supreme Court has said a deported Mexican who lived in the US for 20 years cannot seek legal residency, in a blow to long-term illegal immigrants.
[...]
Mr Fernandez Vargas was born in Mexico but worked north of the border in the 1970s, when he was deported several times.
He returned to the US in the early 1980s and then stayed for more than 20 years, marrying an American citizen and starting a company.
When he applied for citizenship he was deported under a law that streamlines the expulsion process for illegal migrants.
