When Guy and Genevieve Vang came to the United States 18 years ago, they thought they did everything they needed to do to raise their family and work legally in the United States.Things they did/are doing wrong:
They and their two children came to the United States from France, the country they fled to after they escaped war in Laos and Vietnam. They got working papers, filed for political asylum and waited.
They eventually opened up a restaurant, Bangkok 96, in Dearborn, Mich., and had two more children. But they continued to wait on word from the government about their asylum application.
The wait lasted more than 10 years.
And now, in fewer than 60 days unless Congress intervenes, they likely will be deported.
1. They didn't sneak in illegally.
2. They became entrepeneurs and went into business for themselves, instead of working long hours at menial jobs for obscenely low wages.
3. They speak English.
