Dad May Lose Adopted Guatemalan Child to Absurd Immigration Law That Denies Her Legal Residency

New York Daily News: "I am the father of a beautiful 9-year-old undocumented child and the pain of a future deportation of my daughter is getting unbearable for my wife and me. As Christians we pray everyday to God for the immigration authorities not to come and knock on our front door. Our constant state of anxiety about our daughter’s future is destroying our lives. As an angel of God, she has a right to remain in this country." That's how Joseph Collar, 63, began the letter he sent two weeks ago to the President and vice president, as well as to Sen. Harry Reid, Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer. "They haven't answered me yet," he said in despair.
