And from all those whose signature appears on this Petition, and who support and agree with the following ;

On or about 6 February 2008, Laurie L. White, The beneficiary of an approved
I-130-Immigrant Petition For Relative of a U.S. Citizen, Was Denied entry back into the United States. We the undersigned believe She should be allowed to return immediately, without further delay, and at no expense to the Government or people of the United States of America, to her home. To her husband, her family and her friends, and not least of all her dog, who also misses her very much. And upon returning home that she be allowed to resume the process of legally becoming a permanent resident of the United States of America, unencumbered by her alleged attempt to enter the United States Illegally.

Her apparently illegal and unauthorized travel outside of the United States, was precipitated by the tragic and untimely death of her father. Her father, Lawrence Parsons, was recently elected mayor of the town of Lumsden, Newfoundland, Canada. Also my wifes hometown. In the early morning hours of February 1st, 2008, Lauries 42nd birthday. We were notified of the accident. The details of this incident can be found online at http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/02/02/tug-sinking.html. I would encourage anyone signing this petition to read this story. The people of Newfoundland are among the best in the world, ask anyone who was forced to spend some time there on 9/11 and the days that followed.

We the signers of this petition further assert that any additional delay in Lauries return home represents an unfair and unjust punitive action, incorrectly applied to an individual in the process of legally immigrating to the United States, and that the result of her inability to return home has created a significant hardship for Laurie L. White and her family.

We the signers of this petition also request that, If no compassion exists for this type of situation, current Immigration law and enforcement policies be amended and or changed, so that those who desire to immigrate legally are not penalized for those who dont.

This Petition is sincerely and respectfully submitted by;
Edward L. White ( petitioner/author)
Laurie L. White (beneficiary)
And by all those whose signature follows;
