Georgetown student faces a step up or a boot out

By Steve Hendrix, Saturday, April 9, 8:35 PM

Juan Gomez’s American Dream is so close, he has held it in his hands: an envelope containing a job offer from J.P. Morgan Chase in New York.

But the Georgetown University senior faces another possibility unthinkable for the typical Wall Street recruit: deportation to Colombia, a country he hasn’t seen since he was 2 years old.

The job “is such an opportunity for me and my family,â€

First of all JP Morgan needs to use E Verify. Also if the visa is due to expire its a very poor move on the HR department's part hiring someone who is only suppose to be here through spring. Training takes longer than that. Maybe JP Morgan needs to get some calls on this and have them hire someone whois a Legal Citizen of this country. I sure would not want a part time citizen as someone controling my investments.

I feel no pity for prospective bankers , if anything I want to see people like them deported even more.

Doesn't J.P. Morgan Chase have an office in Columbia? No matter, I'm sure there are plenty of financial instutions in Columbia in which a magna cum laude graduate can find work!

Go home! You let these people stay to complete their education, only to be subjected to more excuses why they don't want to leave! The excuses never end!

The introduction of the bill gave the Gomez boys a reprieve good for the two-year duration of that Congress. But their parents were put on a plane to Bogota, and the brothers haven’t seen them since. Alex was allowed to continue classes at Miami Dade College, and Juan was allowed to accept a full academic scholarship offered by Georgetown.
Two years later, Dodd introduced a second private bill, giving the brothers another two-year pass. But that Congress has adjourned, Dodd is retired and Juan is about to graduate.

A scholarship that should have gone to a LEGAL student!

Alex, 23, has dropped out of school in Miami, unable to afford tuition on his salary as a waiter at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. He said he hasn’t worked at all in the past six weeks, after fracturing his ankle playing basketball. Without health insurance, he removed the cast himself.

Why is he still here?!?!?!

It seems to me Juan can do alot of good in Columbia and the whole family can be together.

I vote for the BOOT for both brothers. Enough is enough!

The Gomez family came to the United States on tourist visas in 1990.

Undocumented aliens are robbing this Country for everything they can obtain via fraud. Any person who avoid enforcing or block laws against such crime offenders should be arrested themselves, for supporting and aiding criminals.

I'm sure there is an American who needs that job.
