Thread: Immigration for Morrocoan toddler approved after two years

Two years later, immigration request approved to let boy reunite with family

WASHINGTON | After two years of inaction, U.S. immigration authorities approved a request Thursday for the 3-year-old son of a U.S. citizen to emigrate from Morocco and join his family in Virginia.

Abdeloihab Boujrad and his wife, Leila Boujrad, have been trying since June 2005 to get authorities to allow their son, Ahmedyassine, to join them. The toddler has been living with an aunt in Morocco.

An Islamic civil rights group that took up Boujrad’s cause suspected that the delay was caused by a similarity in Ahmedyassine’s name to the founder of the Palestinian Islamic militant group Hamas, Sheik Ahmed Yassin, who was assassinated by Israel in 2004.

Approval of the application came a day after The Associated Press and other media detailed the Boujrads’ plight

I posted this just to highlight the lunacy of illegal immigration. This family could have just come across the Mexican border and avoided all this incovenience.

I must have misunderstood, "no child left behind'.

I don't know how parents can leave their children.
