To: Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)
Sign the petition: Our immigration system is broken. Bring Angelo Cabrera back.
The story of Angelo Cabrera is exactly what is wrong with our broken immigration system and a perfect example of why we need reform. Mr. Cabrera is a shining example of the American dream and the important role immigrants play in making this country a better place.
Yet, the Customs and Border Protection Admissibility Review Office denied his petition to return to the United States. Now, under President Obama’s immigration initiatives we hope that he would receive entry into the US.
We the undersigned ask that you, Senator, request USCIS to reconsider the case of Angelo Cabrera.

Why is this important?
America’s immigration system is severely broken. The story of Angelo Cabrera is exactly what is wrong with our system and a perfect illustration of why we need immigration reform.
In the 24 years Angelo Cabrera lived in New York State as an undocumented person, he earned two university degrees and worked tirelessly in the community. Cabrera founded a social service organization-the Mexican-American Students Alliance (MASA)—which promotes education and civic engagement projects in New York.
Angelo’s civic engagement earned him numerous commendations from New York elected officials and organizations.
Last year, Angelo was offered a position at Baruch College, but before he could accept the job, he needed to fix him immigration status. Mr. Cabrera, wanting to do the right thing, returned to Mexico to try to legalize his status.
Now, Angelo Cabrera is stuck in Mexico— the Customs and Border Protection Admissibility Review Office denied his petition to return to the US.
And in a cruel twist of fate, under President Obama’s immigration initiatives, had he stayed, he would have been allowed to remain and work legally in the US.
Mr. Cabrera is a shining example of the American dream and the important role immigrants play in making this country a better place. His story is exactly why our system is broken and needs reform.
There is hope—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services can reconsider his case. It takes a request from a high-level member of the government—New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand could ask USCIS to reconsider his case.
Please, sign the petition asking Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand to request USCIS to reconsider the case of Angelo Cabrera.
