Such a waste

My dear friend Oscar Vigil and his family had been threatened to be deported to El Salvador. It is a shame and such a waste that a country like Canada deports a citizen that since his arrival has made a significant contribution to the Hispanic Community and to this country. I am devastated having to be in a position to support a campaign that should have never existed, because very few people deserve so much privilege to live in a country free of violence such as Canada. I want to express the support from me and my family to Oscar, Carolina and their children (Frida, Larissa and Yarince, 17, 20 and 23 years old ).

Mi querido amigo Oscar Vigil y su familia han sido amenazados con ser deportados a El Salvador. Es una vergüenza que un país como Canada desperdicie un ciudadano cuyo aporte a este país y, específicamente, a la comunidad Hispana ha sido tan significativo durante todos estos años y mas vergüenza aun siento por tener que apoyar toda una campaña que nunca debió haber existido, ya que muy pocos merecen tanto el tener el privilegio de vivir en un país libre de violencia como Canada. Quiero expresar mi apoyo y el de mi familia a Oscar, a Carolina y a sus hijos (Frida, Larissa y Yarince, 17, 20 y 23 años de edad respectivamente).

He would be threatened if he returns

I am writing in support of Oscar Vigil’s refugee status. I undestand that he has been denied refugee status here in Canada. I would ask the Canadian government to review his status. Should he be returned to El Salvador he would no doubt be threatened. In order to preserve the family as a whole is another reason for revisiting his case. Thank you.
