I'm starting to feel confident.

Although nothing has progressed with Dong's detainment, for the first time in 51 hours, I don't feel like I'm being chased by a someone with a gun. He will be locked up until at least Monday, but I think he'll be let go after that.
I'm not just feeling better because of the facts of his case(Work Permit and Green Card), but who is getting involved; Senators Jim Webb and Joe Biden. They are already easily my favorite two members of congress. I follow Biden like he's my favorite basketball team. I know these two Senators won't allow my brother to be deported. They wouldn't stand for it.
Webb's office already has a case worker on it. Someone in Senator Biden's office is going to brief the Senator on it today. I know they will make sure the right thing is done after hearing about it. I have 100% confidence in them.
Watch this clip of Biden and you'll understand my newfound calm. I've never seen a politician more passionate about human rights, or one who believes so strongly that we have a moral imperative to help those who can't help themselves.


This clip is just funny. After the statement, Giuliani's numbers started to plummet. People blamed it on his campaign strategy. This statement is what got the snowball rolling.

Ryan.

I am happy to hear that your confidence is stronger with regard to your brother's situation. I sincerely hope that people come to their senses and justice, even in an unwritten form, prevails. Immigration positioning is a constantly moving target, as I see it, depeneding on who you are listening to at any given point in time. I can tell you that this place in time makes the situation, and any arguments for the humane treatment of immigrants trying to "do the right thing", as simple as it needs to be for everyone to picket for immigration reform. I sincerely hope all turns out well with your brother, as I am willing to assist in any way necessary to help your cause. The naivety that exists from Americans believing that our government is acting in the best interest of its people needs to be addressed and corrected. Please let me know how I can help in Florida.

My thoughts and prayers are with your brother, you, and your family.

Thank you.
