NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A Venezuelan salsa dancer who legally married an American man in a same-sex ceremony last year is scheduled for a deportation hearing Friday, one day after U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder ordered a similar case put on hold.
Henry Velandia says he should be allowed to remain in the U.S. as the spouse of a U.S. citizen Josh Vandiver. He's due for an immigration hearing Friday afternoon in Newark, N.J., and faces deportation to his native Venezuela.

This slimy little turd we call an AG does nothing for US citizens but goes out on a limb to assist a disgusting pair of perverts.
He’s only dancing the Salsa that Americans will no longer dance. If he was in the country illegally when they performed the farce then he is not legally married.
“Salsa dancer.” WTH? I thought salsa was a condiment.
Ignoring existing law to support their agenda.
It’s a hell of a long list too.
Seems to me the spouse is free to travel with the other spouse all the way back to Venezuela.

It is. Apply it to bulldozer tracks.
“Same sex couple” of what?
Salsa... I hope they don’t use that for lubricant.
this is the real reason I don’t want gay marriage.. every old queen will marry foreign gay boys and bring them over. Divorce, and do it all over again. No thanks.
As a matter of law, it's a bit more complicated and your statement is not entirely accurate.
First, there are two sovereigns we're talking about - state & feds. I'm not familiar with any state law that prohibits the recognition or allowance of illegal alien marriages. Most states (perhaps all states), just as a matter of law, don't make either of the couples' citizenship or immigration status a condition of marriage.
For the purposes of federal immigration law - if you want the feds to recognize your marriage in order to obtain a green card for one of the spouses, then that spouse must be able to unequivocally demonstrate that they entered the country legally, but it's not necessary for them to currently be in the country legally, per the Immigration and Nationality Act. IOW, a person could have overstayed their visa, gotten married and still have that marriage count for the purposes of obtaining a green card.
Having said all that, this story has absolutely nothing to do with immigration law, and everything to do with DOMA and homosexual marriage. Holder wants another prong of attack against DOMA's prohibition of recognizing homosexual marriage for the purposes of immigration law.
There is no way a salsa dancer is gay guys job. That’s a mans job just like pipe fitting or lumberjacking.
‘“Salsa dancer.” WTH? I thought salsa was a condiment.’
“Would you like a little salsa on your tossed salad?”

I just pinged out an article yesterday about another faggot "partner" who Holder made special arrangements for. Are all the Repubs in DC useless idiots or what? Why aren't they raising hell about this? Do they have terminal cases of Stockholm Syndrome? Skeletons in closets? Why have they not voted to defund the implementation of the repeal of DADT??? Why are less than 2% of the population - who are mentally ill sex perverts - allowed to run the show? And why do no Repubs mention this? They act as though the homo-nazi agenda doesn't exist, or is a fine thing!
Perverts.
He doesn’t want to go back to Venezuela? I hear Hugo Chavez likes a little salsa on his burrito.
