US immigration to deport 60 Indonesians

The Jakarta Post   |  Fri, 08/08/2008 3:29 PM  |  National

The U.S. immigration office has detained 60 Indonesian for immigration violations and will deport them on a chartered flight on Aug. 14, says an official.

"They are being deported for overstaying their visas," Foreign Ministry's RI citizen protection and legal institution director Teguh Wardoyo told The Jakarta Post on Friday.

Teguh said the immigrants currently being detained along with 200 other immigrants expected to be deported this month. Besides from Indonesia, many of them came from the Philippines and Cambodia.

Fifty-four Indonesians were deported from the United States for overstaying their visas on April 10. The plane stopped in the Philippines to drop off 49 similarly deported Filipinos before heading to Indonesia. (and)

In regards to the person with the comment about "his golden nest" and that Indonesians should go back and live in their "grass nest" I can only say that it shows again how little knowledge and sensitivity Americans have in regards to people from developing foreign countries. Enjoying your Hummer-SUV and your 500 square meter home and at the same time trampling on the heads of the poorest of the poor how dare you......

Welcome Home,Folks!
Chinese Got this saying: Other Birds got the Gold's and Silver's nest, but your own grass nest is much more comfortable. It's nothing like staying your own home and with your family, Be proud of your own country and work for little money,Ok! rather than being not appreciated in the Wealthy countries.
Welcome Home Indonesians!
