Green River Boy To Represent Utah At National Spelling Bee - While Parents Deported To India

[Greater-Punjab]

GREEN RIVER - How do you spell "perseverance?" When 13-year-old Kunal Sah stands before television cameras May 30-31 to represent Utah - for the second time - at the National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., his parents won't be there with him. Ken and Sarita Sah were deported back to India last July after 16 years residing legally in this country. They ultimately lost their battle to remain under tough U.S. immigration regulations in the post- 9/11 atmosphere.

If his parents went through the proper channels when immigrating to the United States instead if coming illegally, then they would not have put their son through this turmoil!!!

You still gotta feel sorry for them though, especially the kid.
