Pt. 2 January 29. 2007 ter School faculty member says in her letter of support that Mrs. Fulop is ". . . a valuable asset to our school and community." This is a tragic situation. Essentially. as happened to many families under the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. the rules of the game were changed in the middle. When the Fulops applied for relief from deportation they were eligible for suspension of deportation. By the time the INS got around to their application. nearly three years later. they were no longer eligible and in fact suspension of deportation as a form of relief ceased to exist. The Fulops today have been in the United States since the early 1980s. Most harmful is the effect that their deportation will have on the children. all of whom were born here and who range from three years old to 19 years of age. Their eldest. Dennis. is a 4.0 honor student at Palomar Community College. His sister. Linda. has a 3.8 grade point average. is an honor student in high school. and is also taking one class at Palomar Community College. It is my hope that Congress sees fit to provide an opportunity for this family to remain together in the United States given their many years here. the profound sadness they have already experienced and the harm that would come from their deportation to their six U.S. citizen children. I ask unanimous consent that the three letters of community support be printed in the RECORD.
