Fair Immigration Laws for Family Unity Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/fair-immigration-laws-for-family-unity.html Online petition signatures en-us Wed, 15 Apr 2026 10:13 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mr EDSON OLIVEIRA [Signature #60] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17240046?utm_medium=rss My son is an American citizen and been separated for two years. We made a mistake 16 years ago of not informing the US consulate that we had overstayed our tourist visa and now we've been banned for life. I've seen a president of the United States lying in front of cameras and receiving a less penalty than what has been imposed to us. Now I have to live my life away from my son and my future grandchildren? We can not even come for a visit for such a small mistake? Is this Justice for all? I believe the US and the people of the United States are a people that believe in redemption and second chances. Please, reform the law, now. Allow family to be together, please!

It is taking away a basic, fundamental right of ours: the pursuit of happiness. How can we be happy when our loved ones are someplace else? How can we be happy if we are forced to chose between leaving our country or leaving our loved ones?

The penalty does not equal the time!

No more lifetime inadmissibility for misrepresentation!

No more 10 year inadmissibility for overstaying a visa!

Let the punishment fit the violation.

We call for sensible and just laws that value family unity!

We are still waiting for his waiver to be approved. In the mean time we are suffering. Our hearts are completely broken and continue to break daily. We need him to come home. He is an excellent father, husband, and deserves to be back home with us. We dont chose who we fall in love with. These children dont deserve and dont understand this seperation. Its time to reunite those broken families who have done nothing wrong and who dont desrve this horrible suffering. Family Unity is the most important peice to this reform.

I am calling you to action on behalf of immigration reform. I ask you support any bills sent to congress and not forget to include family benefits, specifically relief from the 9c bar.

I am the wife of an amazing family man from Brazil. He is a hard worker and would do anything for our family. We recently welcomed our first son into the world in August. Sadly, because of unconstitutional laws in our country, I am not afforded the right to live freely and prosper with my husband.

My husband entered the US illegally at 19. He was coming to the United States to work and gain enough money to pay for his father's Chemotherapy in Brazil. He was stopped at the border and taken to a prison. He was jailed for 90 days and then deported back to Brazil. Due to the debt he now had for his first trip, he had no choice but to come back to the US again and try to cross the border. His second attempt was successful and he has lived here ever since (4 1/2 years).

Obviously, his plan was not to meet me or fall in love. Our life together is less than easy because of the strain placed on a relationship of our type. We constantly live in fear that eve

He got caught while entering and was returned to his country of orgin and re-entered without being caught has been here since then with no criminal record or abuse of goverment asdistance. We deserve to be together without being apart for the 10 year bar ...there needs to be a pardon or fine to pay for these circumstances

Divorce isn't an option--but it has been very hard on me and my family to live in a foreign country. Other than my husband's false claim to citizenship, he is an absolute asset to USA and needs to be able to be there for his other children from another marriage. While consequences for wrongful action are necessary, a LIFE TIME ban is much to harsh a punishment for someone who has a clean criminal record and contributes to society. There is nothing we wouldn't do to be legally established in my beloved country.

Our US citizen children do not deserve to be separated from their father just because he was in the US illegally. His only crime was to cross the border without inspection. he has been an outstanding citizen who won't even drive a vehicle until he can get a license.
