Two guys signed voluntary departure to Mexico in 1994. They were childreen when it happened, They didn't leave the country. Two days ago, imigration officers went to their home and take them to jail. They are living here in USA the most part of their life, the deportation results too hard for any people who don't have any real idea about how to live in another country or starts to do it. Do you think that there are aomething to do for avoid this bad experience?? I know that I can ask to a lawyer but I wanna know if someone had a related experience and how do you fight against it???

Thank you all

We are an immigration website, not a law firm. Hire a lawyer. (But if they signed a voluntary deportation, I'm gonna bet there's not much they can do.)

The'd file for suspension of deportation, but they'd have to have a very compelling case to suceed. Unfortunately, this is one of the consequences of being here unlawfully.

You can 'catch' me on here and on FBI.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

how old were the "children" when they signed the legal document (voluntary departure) in '94? no parents involved?

it's past time for them to have left the US ... and returned to their home country

That is the way the it works. They decided to violate the laws of immigration and got caught. There were offered voluntary departure that they agreed to, but ignored. They are arrestable on sight, and forceable removed from the country. Sad...but it has to be done.

I finally got rid of the never ending money drain. I called the plumber, and got the problem fixed. I wish her the best.

The penalties for failure to depart after agreeing to voluntary departure are severe. For ten years, they're ineligible for cancellation of removal or adjustment of status. They're also subject to a fine of up to $5000.00

They didn't have to take voluntary departure. It's an option that avoids some penalties if they take it and depart on time, but greatly increases penalties if they accept voluntary departure but then don't leave.

Before they leave, they should understand the penalties for attempting re-entry after previous immigration violations. Just in case they're tempted to try and avoid the consequences again.
