Dear Edgar,

With your background and access to information, you could a draft a
letter for all Goan residing in US to send to their US Senators and a
copy t the INS protesting this incident.  You can post this draft letter
on the Goanet chat page. US residents can copy this letter and retype on
their letter head and post it to the appropriate authorities including
President Bush and the Attorney General.

Goans can also seek help and cooperation from their Indian friends to
use the same/similar letter to protest the incident.  Such a mass
mailing would certainly have an important effect on the centers of
power.

Goans in Canada could do something very similar.

Regards, GL

Folks,

I have a question. Ms Cruz is a Canadian citizen. Could this have 
happened to her if she presented an American passport at the port of entry ?

Interested in comments.

Whether Ms. Cruz has a strong case?

We do not know. We cannot make the case strong with our strong feelings.
Whether the case is strong or not, only a competent professional lawyer will
know only after getting the facts from Ms Cruz.

As yet, we do not know the facts from Ms. Cruz.

I think it will be inappropriate to take any action regarding this incident
either for the benefits of Ms Cruz or others WITHOUT THE CONSENT of Ms. Cruz

There need to be two similar letters that should be written. One would be
from people living in Massachusetts and the other from people all over the
US. This way, Ted Kennedy will know the level of interest on this issue
from his constituents as well as other Americans.

The local chapter of a Goan association in Boston needs to use its
membership to gather signatures for this.

As for Neal Pinto's earlier query on whether Mrs. Cruz can sue the INS in
the US. She can, all she needs is a competent lawyer and lots of patience.
There have been cases like these in the past and the US government usually
settles. I personally think she has a strong case, though this is the
opinion of someone who is not an attorney.

To All Goanetters

The suggestion put forwarded by Mr. C Fernandes is most appropriate for
presenting the case of Ms. Berna Cruz of Goan origin and should be
whole-heartedly supported by all like-minded people

This is just to say that in 1998, I visited the US from the UK & was subjected to the same ignorance ("Your name is Luis Francisco Dias. Are you sure you are from India & not from Panama or Colombia? You must be trying to stay here illegally. What is the purpose of your visit?"). I was detained for 3 hours, after which I had lost all interest in my visit to the US.

Edgar,
Your suggestion about petitioning Ted Kennedy is a good idea. I
would like to sign this letter.

Here are two ways we could approach it.

1. Could you draft this letter or have someone closely familiar
with the issue do it and then circulate it on the list. Please
do not misunderstand my suggesting you darft it. No pressure
here.

2. Could Goanet put up a petition on their site that we could
all go to and sign. I feel this way no one feels pressured.

After a cut-off date the collated signatures could be fowarded
to the indefatigible Senator either through you or directly by
the keepers of Goanet.

What do you propose we do? I can start up a signature list here in London.
Would you be so kind as to put forward a letter to be signed by all
concerned.

Thanks in advance Gabe Menezes.

[Goanet] INS-deported Canadian a Goan? Role of Goa Netters!!

2003-02-19 Thread edgar furtado

Suggestion:

Fellow Readers;

Goanet is a vibrant and rumbunctious Asian cyberfora
community.  This community can do something for an
innocent mother and Asian Canadian Naturalized Citizen
who had to face ridicule at the hands of an INS
inspector of the NEw Homeland Security DHS in Chicago.

A good approach is writing a complaint letter to
Senator Ted Kennedy of Masachusetts who is on several
Immigration Control and Reform Acts with the Dept. of
Justice, this should be attached with signed petition
containing addresses contact numbers of petitioners.
As a Community we can do something instead of bashing
up with rhetoric and opinions.  

To this end I have worked closely with Senator of
several of his Asian Campaigns and I am known to his
office in the US Senate.

If there is backing and participation we can all come
together and show the world what we can do as a
community for an innocent woman be it Goan or non-Goan
she is a person of South East Asian Decent.

Let me know I can get this done.
