The United States continues to expel immigrants who have no documents, including Albanians.
One of them is Sokol Vokshi, who was deported to the United States 24 years later writes “Daily Mail”.
He worked as a waiter until he was picked up by immigration agents and kept two days in prison. Then he was sent to Albania, accompanying albinfo.ch.
Sokoli has indicated that he could not even visit his family. He was very kind at the bar where he worked, and everyone loved him.
Jimmy Trahanas, owner of the restaurant at the Rockville Centre”, has expressed surprise at the decision, even having no information.
Americans have established a fund to cover Vokshi's legal expenses, the father of two minor girls. So far more than $11600 has been collected by 168 different people who have contributed.
When immigration judges denied his request to live in the US in 1997 and asked him to leave, he appealed the decision. He started working, married, and had children in the United States.
He's back in Albania until I can't find a job. He said that if he cannot obtain a visa to return to the United States, his wife and American-born daughter will join him in Albania. We can't separate. Our American dream is turning into a nightmare”, Vokshi said.
