Have you tried reading some of the legal information on www.prisontalk.com for those facing deporation from the USA?

Go to that link, then click on RESOURCE CENTER and then IMMIGRATION.

The site is for family members who have loved one in prison .

Let me know if this is helpful at all. If not, message me care of this site and I can put you in touch with some others in the USA who may be able to answer some of your specific concerns.

Wow, but the States was weird then, I mean they are always going on about freedom of speech, but they deported this man to a country he had no memory of for being in a Painters Union during the depression?????????????????????

The McCarthy years...the red scare...communism...labour unions.

Simply put, Mr Mackie got deported because he was more than likely a communist sympathizer and no doubt one of several thousand people that were deported under similar circumstances. Remember the Cuban missile crisis in the sixties ?... sheesh...

Wasn't Joe (I hate commies) McCarthy running for the Vice-Presidency too. I'm not sure if it was during that particular time...

Thanks for the site Trish. I signed up for prison talk and posted my concern basically asking if anybody else knows somebody who had been deported to Finlad, I got 0 responses. Most of the people get deported to Mexico or other Cenral-and South American countries. I guess most of the Finns here in the U S behave them selves and don't end up in prison, or don't get caught.

Try find someone deported to EU countries, you know them civilized places like France or Sweden... though you need to ask any country individually knowing your average american thinks New Mexico is a foreign country...

For anyone reading this, I am the son who got deported and have been here in Finland for 7 months now and am doing great here. My Finnish is at about 80 percent now and I am currently attending a Finnish language course. Thank you Mom for all your support and love and also thank you to all the people that showed my Mother and I support through this situation. I also read a few negative comments but those people that wrote those comments are most likely miserable!!! All my family welcomed me with open arms and love me. I am very happy here and have a great future ahead of me. Thanks again. I love you Mom.

Nice to hear its all working out. Finland has its perks like free education you should exploit now when you're still "young"

It is not normally possible to get onto one of these if you are Finnish

I have to ask...Apart from Interlukin's partner, do you know (or have heard of) anyone in this situation (an incoming Finn who needed language training), who has been refused entry onto an integration programme?

Reminds me, never got a reply to that one.

Way to go dude! Reading stuff like this makes me very happy indeed, getting your sh!t together isn't very easy to do and i respect anyone that can.

edit: this song just came to mind for some reason, the words are the start in particular.

Well Karhunkoski, My course is Finnish language and also Construction vocational school at the same time so maybe that's why I got in. But I'm the only Finn in the class. The school is called Amiedu. I hope that answered your question.

In this case assimilation has worked.good job
