[Coco] Diego Barizo

I was talking with Mary earlier this evening, and only had the Blackberry, so i cou;dn't reply to emails via webmail on the Blackberry browser.

ANYONE who is in his neck of the woods needs to show up at his hearing. He also REALLY needs an immigration lawyer present for him. He also needs his employer, if possible, there, and any and all friends and acquaintances that can show. If I was up there, I'd show, but I'm down south in Miami.

A strong showing in support of him, should move the court to see that he is an upstanding individual of character, and would hopefully think twice about just deporting him.

Immigration law and practice is almost as difficult, if not more difficult, than standard criminal law.

Many things changed after 9/11, and this is one of them, unfortunately.

Right now, he needs people, and he needs them at his hearing.
