Anne Arundel Immigrants Eye Efforts To Change Federal Law

Twenty years in a place and you grow attached, even if it is 2,500 miles from your hometown.

Gustavo Ramos, 52, arrived in Glen Burnie from Mexico City in 1980 on a student visa and has made Anne Arundel County his permanent home since 1993. He opened a grocery store in Brooklyn Park in 2007, selling the business in 2012.
 

Student visas have a short lifespan, though, and Ramos is no longer here legally.

Proposals to change the country’s immigration laws, now before Congress, offer Ramos a chance at citizenship, one he would like to take.

I agree! I am friends with a good hard working morally positive family who legally immigrated here 10 years ago, and have improved our nation by doing so. If you wish not to participate, you should not be allowed to participate.

Go home. Period.

I'd suggest jail as that is what Americans pay for breaking the law... but then why should we continue to pay for him to have 3 meals and a bed... send him home!
