It seems very clear that Canada is fortunate to have Oscar Vigil as a citizen. His deportation would be a travesty. It is my hope the relevant federal ministers will make certain that Mr. Vigil is not deported.

Ridiculous and wrong
What the Canadian government is threatening to do here is ridiculous, appalling and wrong.
Thank you, Sr. Vigil, to you and your family for making Canada a better country.

Intervene on his behalf
I support Mr. Oscar Vigil staying in Canada with his family and ask the Minister of Immigration and Citizenship to intervene on his behalf.

Un-Canadian injustice
It is very distressing to hear the story of Oscar Vigil being deported from Canada. I am completely against this un-Canadian injustice and will give my support by signing the petition. I wish success in the legal efforts to halt the government’s action – and that this family remains united in Canada.

Outrageous
This situation is outrageous. Surely, the minister will agree and allow him to stay in Canada. If not, then Canadians will know that this government has no compassion. My prayers are with Mr. Vigil and his family.

Mandela would fall with this law
Please let Oscar stay in Canada. He is no treat to Canada. This law was not mean for such a person as Oscar. Nelson Mandela would fall within this bill. This is unjust.

We need him
Canada needs talented, conscientious citizens like Oscar Vigil.

A good man
I strongly support Oscar on his claim for Canadian Citizenship. He is a good man, a recognized Hispanic leader, an excellent professional and a good family father.

A great tragedy and a loss for Canada
I have known Oscar for several years and know him to be a productive member of his community, a dedicated family man, and a hard working person who’s full of life and compassion for others. Oscar has significantly integrated himself into Canadian society, and to remove him from Canada and his family would be a great tragedy, and a loss for Canada. I enthusiastically support Oscar Vigil’s campaign to stay in Canada.

An injustice that cannot be describe in words
Oscar, your friends, relatives and people in general from El Salvador, a poor country but with much political maturity, we support you in your fight against an injustice that cannot be describe in words. To split a family (deportation) in a country like Canada, which is supposed to be a hundred thousand times better than El Salvador for its humanitarian policy, justice and equal rights… We’ll support you forever. Could the authorities be aware of what they have decided and revise their decisions.
Oscar, nosotros tus amigos, parientes y pueblo en general, desde El Salvador, un país humilde, pero con mucha madurez política), te apoyamos en tu lucha contra una injusticia, que no cabe en palabras describirla, pues una separación de familiar (deportación) en un país que se llama Canadá y que se supone que es cien mil veces mejor que El Salvador, por su política humanitaria, justicia e igualdad de derechos… Te apoyamos siempre. Rogamos a las autoridades hagan conciencia de lo que han determinado y enmienden sus decisiones.
Otto Tevez, El Salvador
