I'm stuck overseas because of our draconian laws (none / 0)
I'm stuck in Argentina because of our draconian immigration laws. I don't meet the financial requirement for sponsoring my wife's immigration. In other words, unless I have money, my right to live with my wife in my home country is not being recognized. That's not OK. As a matter of fact, with the crime rate here and the fact that people assume that since I'm a Yankee I have money, I'm putting my life at risk being here. But taking it out on the illegals won't change our messed up immigration laws. One situation has nothing to do with the other. We need to fix these horrible immigration laws, and we need to deal with illegal immigration in a constitutional manner. If your girlfriend ever does get to the U.S., if Arizona has their way, she'll be a constant target for police harrassment no matter how legally she's there.

You are talking two directions... (none / 0)

If my girlfriend ever went to Arizona, she would have a passport and visa.  You would have zero harassment from police.  You can't pick and choose which laws to obey because they are inconvenient.

If you want to legally fly to America they treat you like a terrorist, a sex trafficker or someone trying to steal a job. If you illegally sneak across the border, they treat you like some poor cousin that needs a helping hand.  You get economic assistance, free education and health care.

Does that make sense?  Instead you should be fighting for your rights to bring your wife to America.  If it's okay for the wetbacks, it certainly should be okay for you.

Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.
