In an attempt to have Camerino remain in the U.S., Matt started a petition with a mission of collecting 40,000 signatures — although he ended up falling just short of that goal.

“Camerino came to the United States from Mexico 24 years ago as a young man looking for a better life. He’s since been deported after being falsely convicted of a nonviolent crime," Matt wrote. “Camerino was hired by Roloff Family Farms and was essentially adopted by the Roloff family."

"He became primary caretaker for this unique, well-known family that is affected by dwarfism (our story is told in the hit TLC show Little People, Big World)," the petition continued. "Camerino essentially became my arms and legs, as I walk on crutches. Camerino has been gainfully employed for 17 years in this position. During that time he raised his two young girls — both US citizens and honor students.”

Unfortunately, Camerino ended up losing his appeal in July 2015 and he ultimately returned Mexico. As far as the Roloffs, TLC, or any other source has reported, that is where he has remained ever since.
