“Human freedom is a gift from God that serves as an example of His infinite divine goodness.”
The Late Dr. Salvador Alvarez

“One day we will have to stand before the God of history and we will talk in terms of things we’ve done. Yes, we will be able to say we built gargantuan bridges to span the seas, we built gigantic buildings to kiss the skies. Yes, we made our submarines to penetrate oceanic depths. We brought into being many other things with our scientific and technological power.”

“It seems that I can hear the God of history saying, “That was not enough! But I was hungry, and ye fed me not. I was naked, and ye clothed me not. I was devoid of a decent sanitary house to live in, and ye provided no shelter for me. And consequently, you cannot enter the kingdom of greatness. If ye do it unto the least of these, my brethren, ye do it unto me.” That’s the question facing America today.”

“I believe that peace is unstable where citizens are denied the right to speak freely or worship as they please; choose their own leaders or assemble without fear.”

From this oppressive imprisonment, I respectfully celebrate the life, love, and spirits of our brother, the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We continue with his spiritual struggle of fulfilling his dreams of justice, freedom and love.”

My Reflection on Tucson

Paul,

I listened to the words of our President tonight and thought of Saad and said to myself surely Paul Hunker is watching tonight. There must be something that he can do to bring Saad Nabeel home to Texas. It is my true belief that Saad is as American as those our President talked about when he said “this country must live up to our children’s expectations”. Saad Nabeel may not have been born in America but he grew up here and knows only once pledge and that is The Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America.

I know you will be meeting with Reverend Johnson tomorrow. I hope you and him can reach a breakthrough and bring an end to a crisis that has so impacted Saad Nabeel for over a year. I can think of no better symbol for Dallas than an announcement that we are bringing Saad Nabeel home not because it is right or wrong but because it is the right thing to do. I can think of no better day than Monday, the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King to announce to the world that America takes care of those that subscribe to our way of thinking.

Saad is considering going into law he says. He is also thinking about public service. I dream of a day when Saad would be joining you as a fellow attorney for the Department of Homeland Security. Some say I am crazy. I just like to think outside of the box.

The American Dream is alive and well within each of us this night.

If Dr. King were Living Now

My name is Reverend Peter Johnson. I used to work with Dr. King and I know that if he were living now he would be leading the fight for fairness and decency when it comes to immigration. Saad Nabeel was mentioned in his most famous speech when his vision of this land spoke of “all of Gods Children”. Saad Nabeel is as American as any of us.

I call upon every freedom loving American to contact the offices of ICE in Dallas, Texas and insist that Saad Nabeel be allowed to return the United States at once. The final decision to deport was made in Dallas and the decision to bring him home should therefore come from Dallas. ICE can work with CIS and the Department of State to make his return possible. The person to contact is Nuria Prendes.

Here is her contact information.

Statement received via email Jan. 8, 2010

by Greg Moses

Citing concerns for his own safety, 19-year-old Saad Nabeel has resigned from a college in Malaysia as supporters work for his immediate return to the United States.

“I am confident that the US government can find a way to allow Saad to come home,” said immigrant rights activist Ralph Isenberg, who has been in communication this week with Dallas officials of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

Isenberg says immigration officials could evaluate Nabeel for a “humanitarian parole” that would allow the former Texas college student to return to the US for one year.

Humanitarian parole is a status usually granted for medical conditions. And Isenberg says there are good reasons to be concerned for Nabeel’s psychological health if he is not allowed to return to America.

Nabeel came to the US as a child, attending elementary school in California and high school in Texas. He graduated from Liberty High School of Frisco Texas in 2009 and enrolled with full scholarship as an engineering student at the University of Texas at Arlington.

During the first semester of his freshman year at college, Nabeel and his parents were detained by immigration officials. The family was deported to Bangladesh in early 2010.

Once in Bangladesh, Nabeel reconstructed his laptop computer and began a Facebook campaign for his return. “The Official Group: Bring Saad Nabeel Back Home to America” has grown to 5,600 members at Facebook. And his story has attracted attention and sympathy from major media around the world.

In November, Nabeel was struck with a cane by a policeman in Bangladesh after he protested the beatings of homeless children. One week after that incident, Nabeel was sent by his family to Malaysia where he was enrolled in college.

But Nabeel said in his letter of resignation from the college this week that he does not feel safe there. He objected to the strict religious requirements of the curriculum, claimed that his views of culture and politics alienated him from fellow students, and worried that his enrollment at the Islamic college might endanger his case for re-entry to the United States.

“The humanitarian reason for allowing Saad to return is clear and obvious,” says Isenberg. “There is no reason not to parole him into the US.”
