Introduction

This is about love, family, immigration, a couple wrongly deported out of the country and a family split up. Our family is comprised of Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians, Christians, Catholics, Agnostics and many other denominations. Some believe in closed borders, some believe in open borders. We do however, all agree that the situation with my Son Mark and his wife (my daughter-in-law) Sunny (Kaesun) is an injustice. If anyone knows anyone, who knows anyone, who can help - please pass this on. This story has affected hundreds of South Korean immigrants that thought they had come here legally. They lived here for decades, got jobs, got degrees, went to school, only to be deported from a country and life they love.

The 275 Law


A Bill



To ensure the fair and justly treatment of those who have entered the United States and who have allegedly been associated with a crime in the process thereof.

SECTION 1: SHORT TITLE This Act may be cited as "The 275 Immigration Act" or "The 275 Law"

SECTION 2: FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS (a) Findings – Congress finds the following:
(1) In 1986, 275 South Koreans were victimized by an immigration scam operated by two Korean brokers and INS Supervisor Leland Sustaire.
(2) The two brokers offered legal help in obtaining green cards for a fee and thereafter did bribe Sustaire, whom received $500,000 for providing said green cards.
(3) In 1988, Sustaire confessed to the crime and testified against said brokers and was fined $7,500, ordered to serve 6 months in a halfway house and 6 months home confinement at his ranch.
(4) Sustaire admitted to destroying all records pertaining to said scam.
(5) Daniel Lee, one of said brokers, stated that his clients had no knowledge of said bribery and fraud and it was his assertion that the 275 had believed they were legal residents of the United States.
(6) Despite the confessions of the scam’s operators, the United States government began contacting the 275; proof of innocence was required or deportation would begin.
(7) Due to the admitted destruction of all records relating to said 275, proof of innocence did not exist.
(8) Deportation of the 275 began.
(9) Kaesun Song Douglas (#A47054690) did enter the United States as a 10 year old child with her mother and brother with Visas. She is married to an American citizen and was preparing to enter graduate school, having attended San Jose State University. On September 21, 2010, after residing in the United States for 22 years, Kaesun Song "Sunny" Douglas was deported.
(b) Sense of Congress – It is the sense of Congress that the 275 were victimized by two Korean brokers and an INS Supervisor and, furthermore, were unjustly penalized for the crimes of others
and denied an opportunity to take the necessary and legal steps to become legal residents of the United States.

SECTION 3: INNOCENCE OF CHILD (a) In General – If a child enters the United States with a Visa accompanied by an Adult with a Visa and the Adult either allegedly commits a crime or is alleged to be associated with a crime, and said Child has no criminal record, said Child will be deemed innocent of these circumstances unless proven complicit.
(b) Said Child will not be given deportation orders nor deported solely due to these circumstances.
(c) If said Child (or in the event said Child has become an Adult) has been given deportation orders as a result of these circumstances, such deportation orders shall immediately be rescinded.
(d) If said Child (or in the event said Child has become an Adult) has been deported, any ban in effect will be immediately lifted and said Child (Adult) will be given a Visa and able to return to the United States immediately, absent of any waiting period.

SECTION 4: BURDERN OF PROOF AND PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE (a) If an Adult enters the United States with a Visa and is accused of an alleged crime in which a Federal, State, City, Town, or other such government employee is also allegedly associated with said crime, the Adult will be presumed innocent until proven guilty and afforded the same rights as if no question of legality were to arise regarding legal status.
(b) If said Adult is not proven guilty of said crime, the Adult will not be given deportation orders nor will said Adult be deported solely based upon these alleged circumstances.
(c) If said Adult has been deported based solely upon these alleged circumstances, the ban in effect will immediately be lifted and said Adult will be immediately granted a Visa and given permission to immediately return to the United States, absent any waiting period.

SECTION 5: RETROACTIVITY This act shall be retroactive back to 1980 and shall expressly relate to the aforementioned 275 South Koreans and any other individual from this date forward.

  1. I would vote "NO" the way the Law is written.
    This gives 'blanket amnesty' to all deportations after 1980 with no restrictions - far to much room for abuse.
    Apparently the writers of the Law intended to leave it vague, or they were simply incompetent - I fear the latter.
