While ex-President of Peru Alberto Fujimori might be at risk of being extradited from him current home in Chile to the country he left in a flurry of controversy, he doesn’t seem too worried. He’s got his sights set on a political future in another country: Japan, where a political party has asked him to run for Senator.
“In light of this proposal, Alberto Fujimori has left his definite response pending, as he analyzes the benefits of his possible election as Senator in Japan could have for the Preuvian people,” said the ex-president’s press office in a statement.

Proving yet again that no good deed goes unpunished, Yaderlin Jimenez, the wife of a missing in action soldier stationed in Iraq faces deportation. Spc. Alex R. Jimenez has been missing since May 12 when there was an attack on his unit in Iraq. He petitioned for his wife’s green card but a judge put a stop on those proceedings since he went missing. If Yaderlin were deported to her native Dominican Republic she would have to wait 10 years before she could reapply to enter the U.S.
In my opinion there is only one word for this : disgraceful. Your husband goes to fight in the name of the United States and this is how the U.S. repays.
