Gabra and Ms. Kamel have lived here. they have worked to adjust their status through the appropriate legal channels. They came to the United States on a lawful visa and immediately notified authorities of their intent to seek asylum here. They have played by the rules and followed our laws. In addition. during those nine years. the couple has had four U.S. citizen children who do not speak Arabic and are unfamiliar with Egyptian culture. If the family is deported. the children would have to acclimate to a different culture. language and way of life. Jessica. 8. is the Cabras oldest child. and in the Gifted and Talented Education program in Ventura County. Rebecca. age 7. and Rafael. age 6. are old enough to understand that they would be leaving their schools. their teachers. their friends and their home.
