Expired Visas
In “3 Yemeni Siblings Get Caught Up in Immigration Sweep” (Oct. 7), the siblings’ friends believe that they are nice people and that “they belong here with us.” The siblings, by overstaying their visas, are in the U.S. illegally. They belong in Yemen. The Yemeni siblings do not want to go home because they believe they have little future in Yemen. Over 5 billion people in the world have little future in their native countries. They cannot all live in the U.S. illegally, even if they are nice people.
