This guy is more "American" than half the folk that were BORN HERE! Sure, he could be an a**hole at times but, he surely does't deserve this. Can we help?

Immigrant faces deportation

The Mad Russian was drunk and ready to sleep it off.
So Vladimir Noskov, a longtime fixture in University City's fashionable Loop
district, seemed almost happy to see the police officers at the Blueberry Hill
restaurant, where he'd just caused a minor scene. "He turned around and put his
hands behind his back and said, 'Let's go,'" Lt. George Haftarczyk recalled.
But by the time Noskov sobered up, he was facing deportation back to a country
he hasn't seen in nearly 30 years, a place his family fled as persecuted Jews.
"I've been eating apple pie since I was 14 years old," Noskov said by phone
Monday from the Mississippi County Jail in Charleston, Mo., where he has been
held since his arrest. "I am more American than anything else." <snip>
"You see cases like this regularly. It is really highly unfortunate," said
Marshall Fitz, associate director of the American Immigration Lawyers
Association.
