<p>I wonder what Eric did to trigger deportation? Usually, deportation is based upon conviction for a criminal offense. I understand that there may be other circumstances. Was he trying to bring drugs into the country? When individuals who have lived here for decades and raised their families here can get deported for a crime of moral turpitude… why should we support a student who is probably getting a lot of financial aid to attend one of the best universities in our country in his quest to be re-admitted into this country ? You need to share more of the pertinent details. There may be a case for fairness that many could support but without details, one would be foolish to sign the petition.</p>
