I found this earlier for episode 7x16--Sink or Swim:

STORY LINE
Horatio's team investgates the murder of Derek Powell's fiancee NADINE WALCOTT, but their case is sidetracked when Delko, who has evidence against KEN TABER, their prime suspect, is thrown into jail by the INS for failing to address the issue of his forged birth certificate--and he gets no help from his natural father, ALEX SHAROVA...

OMG! :eek:
 
Aaahhhh yes. I wondered how they'd deal with this issue. Eric is not an American citizen. Through no fault of his own. But he does need to deal with the issue.

I haven't seen these spoilers pop at my site yet....so I am very interested to read them when they do!

However, IDK about this whole american citizenship thing b/c once you touch American soul from Cuba (Wet Foot/Dry Foot) you are pretty much granted asylum. Plus he has done everything as an American citizen. He had no idea, up until recently, that was NOT born in this country and then they would have to deport his entire family b/c they came over in the same boat he did! He didn't know it was forged until recently....so now that he has his real one....I don't get what the big deal is about his fake one?????

Can someone help me with this cuz seriously I am confused.

It is an interesting idea but in all honestly, I find it a little dumb. I kind of like the idea about his father etc but this is a little rediculous.

It would be funny though to watch him have to take a citizenship test to become a US citizen. Just imagine having grown up thinking you are a US citizen and then finding out that technically you aren't. And then having to take a test to become one. Poor guy.
 
I have to admit now that I read some more of the spoilers, I understand a little more. :lol: Things make a lot more sense.

Yelina is in the ep for those who are interested! ;)

It will be interesting to see what his real father is like! ;)

Actually, he could technically be deported on a charge of fraud. I'm guessing he's voted, filed forms as a citizen, got hired by the police department as a citizen (using a fake birth certificate, no less), maybe got student loans, etc. While he didn't know his birth certificate was a fake, any lawyer could argue he had this information for a long time and was perpetrating fraud by not taking care of this earlier. He can't really legally prove one way or another that he only recently found out. He could get his mother to testify, but that might get her into major trouble as well for passing off the document as official.

His best bet would be to argue the fact that he is a good citizen, pays taxes, is law abiding, and has even put himself in danger in the line of duty in order to help others. They try him, put him on probation where he can't travel outside the US, and he can begin the process of paperwork for residency. If he's honest with the judge he's in a good place. He gets some people to vouch for him and prove that he's not a financial burden to the country ::shrug:: He'll be fine. Deportation is unlikely in this case, but it can certainly be iffy for a bit.

Well obviously that is all true but what I meant is that they can't possibly hold something like that over someone who just recently found out his birth certificate was a fake. He has proof that he just found out too. I mean he is what 30 something? His whole life, he has thought he was american....so he didn't necessairly defraud knowingly.

Thanks for explainging that and now that you have.....it doesn't see so bad ;)

Just when you think it can't get any worse! Why couldn't he just leave his birth certificate alone!:eek::(
 
I have a question. If he's not a legal US resident, does that void his whole wages being garnished to pay off that woman of the man he beat up (to protect her)? Or would he still have that pay that?
 
Yes if they really want to push it they can hold him responsible for not taking care of this earlier like the spoiler is say he found out but has not taken care of it! Plus its the Gov. they get the right people greasing that palm, like you say it his word against theirs! By the way Who tips the INS off to his Illigal BirthCertificate anway HHMMMM?

He could be Deported or at the least they can cause him alot of problems! I see Stetler enter the picture somewhere in the midst of all this! The question will be, Is he going to be Friend Or Foe! Enquiring minds want to know!

Considering he was the case in the last episode that information would be part of the investigation and therefore pretty much public knowledge. I mean someone could still tip off INS but if the information was put into the departments database then....I would think it would be easy for the INS to find out.

I don't think he is going to be deported....we all know it will work out in the end ;)

My biggest concern right now is whether or not we will see the entire season of this show considering a SAG striking could be looming :rolleyes: Check out TVGuide.com!!
 
I remembered this story and thought it was relevant to the whole thing coming up with Eric's immigration issues.

http://www.vvdailypress.com/onset?id=1514&template=article.html


I think it turned out that this woman's parents became naturalized citizens before she was 18, which made her a naturalized citizen by default.

My apologies if I'm a bit zealous with this but it is sort of close to home for me in that my family came from Cuba in 1970, and I know the legal issues they had to deal with in trying to leave and getting their lives together here. I'm also a citizenship teacher and I see how hard my students work at studying for the test, which is not an easy test to study for, because they really want to be American citizens. It's interesting to me that this character we've come to care for has to deal with this *now* as an adult who has suddenly been slapped with the reality that his concept of who he is and believes to be isn't true. Very interesting storyline.
 
Thanks for the info EG. Reading that makes me realize that there are a ton of interesting storylines they can write around this issue. I can't wait to see how they (the writers) handle this.
