On today's issue of "Ass-Hat's On Parade"

US Immigration deporting wives of US Servicemen – yes, it’s possible.
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/10/03/military.deportation/index.htm

There’s a quote by an immigration enforcement advocate that’s completely out of control:

”That's just fine, according to Mark Krikorian, the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which lobbies for tougher laws on illegal immigration.
"What you're talking about is amnesty for illegal immigrants who have a relative in the armed forces, and that's just outrageous," he said. "What we're talking about here is letting lawbreakers get away with their actions just because they have a relative in the military. ... There's no justification for that kind of policy."


This is where I get sick to my stomach. This ass-hat is talking about the wives (with US born children) of US Military personnel deployed overseas. Unfricken-believeable!

She wasn't illegal to begin with. The young woman was here via legal refuge status. They legally married and because she married, the refuge status granted to her as a youth lapsed. That point makes not a lick of sense to me.

Were she someone who waded across the Rio Grande or walked across the deesrt to come here illegally, I'm sure I might take a harasher view, but our immigration laws are so hopelessly screwed up that the formerly legal wife of a legal US solider serving in combat for this country can concieveably be deported. I did a Google search on related news articles and there's dozens of these cases. WTF has our country come to?

ahh...when your link didn't work, I just searched for military deportation, and found this - http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/06/20/national/main2956093.shtml Assumed that was the article you were talking about, and the one my comment applies to.

There's so many stories about this situation, but I can certainly understand the confusion. CNN screwed with the links when the article started getting an insane number of hits. It's sad though that our 'Compasionate Conservative" Administration, they don't weem to remember the big picture. One member of the family is away fighting a war on behalf of the nation. In some cases those very servicemen and women enlisted in order to get their Green Cards. Seems ironic doesn't it?
