Other reports have stated he sought permanent status only after deportation actions commenced several years ago. Why did he not commence any action when he became an adult at 18?  Or, when he got married?  Or, when he had children?  I see a double standard being applied for those who entered the US illegally simply by crossing an unguarded border versus those that are barred by an ocean crossing.  So Latinos from Central America should be given special treatment than Filipinos, Koreans, Vietnamese or other Asian nationalities who must cross the Pacific Ocean than the Rio Grande?  The Hawaii Congressional delegation better be prepared to introduce a couple of hundred thousand special immigration petitions just for all those Filipinos with relatives back home waiting to enter the US.

Finally, why is the Federal agencies not moving to deport Chef Chai?  Didn't he get convicted of immigration fraud with a "sham marriage"?  Again, a good example of the Hawaii Congressional delegation acts.
