Sunnyside man deported today despite pleas from teenage daughters made yesterday

Front Row: Samiha, Ferdousha, Simran holding a picture with Bablu

Oct. 11, 2017 By Nathaly Pesantez

Bablu Sharif, the Sunnyside man whose two teenage daughters begged President Trump to stop his deportation yesterday, was deported today.

Sharif, a Bangladeshi immigrant who lived in the United States since 1992 and worked as an Uber driver, was deported after being detained by ICE since June. Ten other men from New York were also deported today.

“To deport those brothers is to deprive those American families of a father, a husband, and the only source of viable living,” said Mazeda Uddin, president of the South Asian Fund for Education, Scholarship and Training, who worked closely with the Sharif family in trying to prevent his deportation.

Sharif had a standing deportation order against him since 1999 after overstaying his visa, but has had an order of supervision since 2013.

Uddin said she contacted multiple elected officials to help with Sharif’s situation, but to no avail. “Our help did not work because our elected members did not count our voice,” Uddin said. “We were not able to keep these families together and keep these hard working brothers in America where they belong.”

Uddin was devastated as she spoke through sobs over the phone. “I could not help them,” she said. Uddin could not bring herself to talk to Sharif’s daughters and wife today, as she felt she failed the family. “Why don’t our voices count?” Uddin said.

Ali Najmi, a lawyer and member of the Alliance of South Asian American Labor who helped the Sharif family in organizing, said the family notified him this morning after they received information from the detention center in Arizona where Bablu was held.

“It’s a very tough moment for them,” Najmi said as he spoke of Sharif’s family. “I’m thinking of all the families in Queens who have to go through this.”

Najmi said Sharif’s story puts Trump’s policies into question, especially since Sharif had his deportation deferred during the prior administration.

“This is a real shocking moment for the family and the entire immigrant community of Queens,” Najmi said. “Families are nervous about this, and we need actual immigration reform. We need the president to show compassion.”

A press conference held on Oct. 10 in Jackson Heights saw Sharif’s two teenage daughters, Simran, 18, and Samiha, 14, make an emotional plea to stop their father from being sent back to Bangladesh.

“Who will take care of us if our father is deported?” said Samiha at yesterday’s press conference. “We are surviving with the help of some friends. Now, if my dad is deported, I don’t know how I’m going to survive. I don’t know how my future will look.”

Ferdousha, a homemaker and mother of the two, said the toll of her husband’s situation weighed heavily on their two daughters as they started the school year.

Sharif lived in Sunnyside with his family, and was detained by ICE in June and held in a detention center in Florence, AZ, after attempting to renew a work permit with the Enforcement or Removal Operations office. Sharif had no criminal record.

I think our country’s new motto should be “The United States…we’ll invade your country to plunder whatever resources we want but don’t dare come to ours.”

Lack of empathy seems to be an epidemic infecting our country.

I live close to a family homeless shelter and was talking to a family that has arrived to NYC from PR and waiting for permanent housing. They were asking if I knew of any available rentals in the area because they were approved for rental vouchers from the city and I told them to check with realtors.

The only question is this: do you this country to run by its by laws whatever they are? Or do you want a country which does NOT follow it like many African and Asian countries? The people of Asian countries (like India) are SICK of the corruption. Essentially, where laws are broken as required,,,, If it is the former, then such deportations will happen. If not, then you want illegal immigrants to stay. The only issue is what happens to the family and that makes me really sad and confused NOT the deportation of the man!! deporting the man was right if you want to run by laws – there cant be following the laws sometimes and sometimes not (which is essentially what African and Asian countries do).

All these situations are awful, but what country can say: everyone can come in on a tourist visa and stay forever? Even taking into account the time it takes to get settled and possibly get tax-paying jobs, the school system, hospital system, etc. are already over-burdened. Isn’t it too simple to make this a black and white issue?

Reply

These systems are “overburdened” because the tax rate for the top earners has been cut so much. In the glory days on the 1950’s (at least the conservatives refer to this era as the glory days) the tax rate on the top earners was 90%. The fact of the matter is that our country is dependent upon underpaid illegal labor. If all of the undocumented workers (a kinder term since no person is illegal) were to walk out of this country, we would have no food to eat. Our entire food system is dependent upon this unsung workforce. They plant and pick our foods, work at the meat processing plants, etc. Every single study of undocumented workers proves that they pay more into the system than they get out of it. There are many shades of gray to immigration but we are dependent upon immigrants. Our population bubble is getting older and grayer. Undocumented workers keep Social Security solvent (they pay in using fake numbers but never cash out). Get real that your comfort depends on people picking food for you. If you had documented workers do it, the cost of food would triple or quadruple and then you would complain. Same thing for the construction industry….get real folks.

I invite all the armchair immigration experts in these comments to do some actual research about the process of getting a greencard, let alone citizenship.
I’d you think it’s a matter of filling out a form and getting in line, you’re mistaken.
This man was attempting to gain asylum, this is why he was apprehended when trying to renew his deferral status with immigration.

You have to wonder, why deport him now?

We can feel sorry for anyone in this situation, but sympathy does not mean agreeing that anyone who stays in the US illegally and reproduces gets to stay. The fact that he didn’t commit a crime is beside the point, the fact that he has a family is beside the point. The moment his visa expired he had to know this could happen.

Hey trolls, you know what? Other than there being one less brown-skinned person in Queens, tell all of us one good thing that comes out of this guy being deported. Seriously- did he he take your Uber job or something? He had no criminal record. He raised a family. He paid taxes – yes, he did, Uber drivers receive 1099s, same as any other independent contractor, and when he filled his tank he paid federal tax, and ewhn he shopped at the CVS he paid state tax. So no, you did not pay for his kids to go to school. Seriously, tell us. How are you better off because a hardworking, tax paying family guy is out if the country?

I agree! People sat around and did nothing to help this family. More people need to get involved by protesting, calling state and local politicians, donating to legal services and charities, volunteering and educating themselves on immigrants rights. There are so many undocumented people from all over the world living in Queens it would of been nice if more people showed up at the press conference.

rules are rules

he is an unfortunate “example” – Could they have found someone “more” illegal in terms of citizenship (e.g. someone benefitting from welfare, or otherwise utilizing benefits reserved for legal citizens), sure. But he was likely “low hanging fruit” for the authorities to make an example out of. Bottom line is that he was here illegally, and they are trying to ensure that others learn from his mistakes/understand they are now enforcing the laws, in order to correct the excessive immigration issues they haven’t been keeping tabs on over the last however many decades.

OK, “rules are rules,” but you didn’t answer the question, and your facts are wrong. What’s a GOOD thing that comes out of this? He sets an example? So fewer immigrants enter the US? Immigration already had fallen to a nearly 20 year low in 2015. (Recorded by the Department of Homeland Security, reported by the Pew Center, because, they actually were “keeping tabs” if you bothered to look at the data.) Meanwhile, we lose tax revenue we desperately need (you know there’s a deficit, right?), a member of the workforce, and now his family is missing their primary breadwinner, so his daughter – CITIZENS – are without their father. How does this, you know, help anyone? Other than the racists who want fewer brown-skinned people around?

Reply
rules are rules

The GOOD thing is that other folks currently here illegally will take measures to become actual citizens of the country they are living in and benefitting from. Like I said, it is unfortunate that this father was the one singled out as the example, but now maybe someone else can avoid the same future by taking the necessary steps to stay in this country LEGALLY. How many people were here illegally while legal US immigration dropped to the 20 year low?

Eland Kumar

I always wrestle with this issue. This man took the risk of breaking the law.The question is should the US govt actually pardon him because he was clever enough to break the law? What about the people back in Bangladesh who would completely love to come here? Should the US govt bring them here? It seems that if we pardon such behavior we are simply saying as long as you smart enough to break the law, then you are fine. There should some bad consequences fo breaking the law, isn’t it? On the other hand., this guy’s poor family will suffer a LOT. So I have no answer at all to this big problem.

Eland Kumar

Ok., my genuine question is this. Immigrants are really doing a lot for sure. So should the US have any controls at all? As long as they are not criminals, everybody should be allowed to overstay their visas and just do whatever they want. Why even act as if we have rules? Why have visa end dates or quotas.. You are saying keep the law but if you escape, then you deserve to be pardoned!!! Isnt that a strange thing to argue for?

I think it could be easier if there wasn’t a fear of exposing the underground labor force. Most who come here have jobs or get them quickly, and can manage to support themselves and sometimes a family as well. This would mean liberalizing or relaxing the laws, and making it easier to get a work visa or green card. Sadly, as demonstrated by some of the voices here, public sentiment is largely anti-immigrant, and I’ll never figure out why.

Reply
Eland Kumar

Ok. Why not just say: anybody not a criminal) can come here and work here legally forever? Why have any laws to limit immigration and act as if we try to enforce it? Lets say a guy comes here with his children and cannot find a job, but wants to stay here forever. should he be allowed? That’;s what is essentially happening in Europe.. I dont think that open borders approach will work well for the country…

I’ll never accept that there are as many xenophobic a-holes like the commenters here.

“Why didn’t he get citizenship?” Do you think it’s possible? It’s not. Did you read the part where he was checking in regularly with authorities?

The stats on the economic benefits and rates of entrepreneurship among immigrants are incredible, but these right wingers are blind to that. They’d rather scapegoat the powerless than confront the forces that are actively working against them.

The immigrants will keep coming and winning. The complainers will remain bitter, sad, and lonely.

Sunnyside is a diverse,compassionate, hard working community. To me, there are some commenters on here trying to provoke others. They sound like stereotypical extreme right or left wing sayings all written to try to separate or unite certain thoughts and evoke argumentative reactions. We all know that groups out there like this do exist except no one is getting paid to express fake opinions on here. They just get a “kick” out of it so to speak.

Tomi Lahren’s ancestor forged his citizenship papers to get to the U.S., Melania Trump got paid to work as a model before she had the proper paperwork all of which are illegal and could be deportable offenses. I am sure if any of you knew enough about your family’s immigration story, there very well could be some fudging…people who lied about their ages at Ellis Island, etc. The fact of the matter is that we are all immigrants here. It’s not like anyone asked the Native Americans if they wanted any Europeans to come over. Immigration happens. If you were hungry or being denied civil liberties or were looking for a better life for your future kids, you would do whatever you needed to do that. That is our shared humanity. Have some compassion. The average monthly wage in Bangladesh is $60 per month. I bet every one of your relatives or even you yourself came to this country for a better life. And yes, our immigration policy throughout our history has been outwardly biased and racist towards white people so don’t go feeling special if you “came here legally”.

Great Post! Now this family needs to focus on the present and future. Hopefully he has saved some money while working here all these years that they could use until he or his wife and daughters (when they are of age) could find work. It sounds like 60 dollars could go a long way in his country. So if the family could get together and double or triple the average working salary in Bangladesh he will be more than fine. Many immigrants are in the same situation and manage to send money oversees to loved ones which goes a long way.

Let his family get jobs and send him money back home. Like most men who come here do. They come here and send the money back to the family. This is just reversed. Then when they have enough saved they can reunite. In Bangladesh.

Both of my parents, uncles, aunts, they’re all illegal immigrants. I’ve had people say why don’t you just your green card like very one else. The thing people don’t understand is how hard and long it takes to get one and become a citizen. I was born in the U.S. so I am considered a citizen, the thing is my parents came here for my sake. Immigrants shouldn’t be deported when they came here looking for a better life. What do you have against us?

Reply
cause they're here illegally.

most things that are really “worth it” are long and arduous processes. Pretty sure what people have against illegal immigrants is that for some reason, they think that the process to become legal is not one that is mandatory, and thus they stay here, utilizing resources that are budgeted for, and meant for, legal citizens. Your parents and their siblings should start the green card process, at least then, when the cops come knocking, they can say that they are in the works, vs trying to game the system. Good luck!

I don’t know why I have to explain tax law to you, when you could easily look it up yourself, but undocumented workers like Bablu who have jobs receive an individual tax number (ITIN). Think about it for 2 secs, if you’re capable. He was driving for Uber. They have to tell the IRS who they pay. They have to send those workers 1099, which Bablu reveived. Even immigrantswho use fake social security numbers pay into a system they never get out of. Also, it’s not like when he filled his tank or shoppedat the CVS he said, “I’m an immigrant, I’m not paying tax on that today.” Ok, can we please put this, “they dont pay taxes” to rest? They do.

Speak for yourself – no one’s “chosen as a group…” The majority of Americans in polls from both the left and the right favor immigration reform with a path to citizenship (Marist, Pew, and Gallup, and even Fox news). And the majority of Americans did not vote for you-know-who. Add the majority of Sunnysiders, based on our voting and behavior, welcome Rosita and her family.

gman- Definition of “Private foundation”
– A charitable organization that, while serving a good cause, does not qualify as a public charity by government standards. A private foundation is a nonprofit organization which is usually created via a single primary donation from an individual or a business and whose funds and programs are managed by its own trustees or directors. As such, rather than funding its ongoing operations through periodic donations, a private foundation generates income by investing its initial donation, often disbursing the bulk of its investment income each year to desired charitable activities. Please explain your accusation of criminal behavior in the context to this legal definition…

As usual the only argument that liberals can make is to call someone racist when they don’t realize that what he did was against our laws.Liberals should wake up and smell the coffee.

There was no bias here. This man was here illegally. All who come here legally and want to be a part of the American Dream should be able to take advantage of what this country has to offer.

In this case he didn’t go through the proper channels and thus should be deported. Would you want someone to enter your home just because he wanted to? It is wrong to not obey the laws of a country that you want to enter but are not willing to wait your turn.
