Thanks to a large social media push, an undocumented immigrant from Bangladesh will get to stay in the U.S. ― for now. Riaz Talukder, 50, has been granted a temporary stay after people across the internet raised awareness about his situation. Talukder, who came to the U.S. as a minor, pleaded to remain in the country to tend to his wife, who is battling thyroid cancer. Talukder’s immigration struggles began years ago. Talukder is one of the roughly 1.7 million undocumented Asian immigrants in the U.S., the fastest-growing group of undocumented immigrants in the country.
