British immigrants to the US kicked out for not making enough money

The reason -- an immigration case worker in California reviewing their numbers declared their business "marginal," not profitable enough, even though they made enough to run the business, live virtually debt free and employ local people part-time.

Established Maine couple kicked out of US

A York county couple, originally from England, is about to be kicked out of the country.
For a decade, Dean and Laura frank built up "Laura's Kitchen," a small, but popular local restaurant in Wells, now shuttered and for sale.
That's because the "E-2" visa they'd legally had for years -- twice renewed with no problem-- was suddenly denied last year.

They are now in the country on a temporary tourist visa, trying to wrap up their affairs and sell their properties -- while desperately hoping for an unexpected reprieve.

i can relate personally. my boss has in the past 12 years spent well over a million dollars into the american economy by buying land, this building, improvements, and trying to make a business. and paying taxes into the state, local and federal level.

and has NEVER dipped into any federal, state or local handouts.

he did it all legally.

he wants to stay here.

but america says since he can not keep 2 full time employees going and 2 part time employess going, his visa waiver will now only let him visit at a maximum of 6 months at a time .

now just how fucked up is that?
