Rush blew it with the almost tearful babe who married a wetback. (She wanted to know why she should have to choose between going to Mexico or having her two children lose their father.)

"What if you (this woman) had married a bank robber on the lam, and started a family?" That's what I would have asked her.

I had almost the same thought. It's not our fault that she married a criminal.

I'm sick of hearing this one from stupid women. I married a man that is a citizen of another country. (We live outside the US right now) I thought of the ramifications before I married him. If we ever decide to live in the US, I realize that even though, at this time, my husband will have first priority on a green card, he will still have to wait in line to legally enter the US.

It's also not something that is guaranteed. The laws could change before we decide to move and I could find that my husband can't enter the US. I thought about this and whether I would be willing to live in his country BEFORE I married him.

Right now Mexico is entitled to more yearly visas than the whole of Europe combined.(the last statistics I can find are from 2004, Mexico 170k visas versus the whole of Europe 130k visas) I'm more than a little unhappy that they are talking about upping the number of legal visas Mexico gets each year because that will lessen the number of visas for my husband's country.
