I wish they would but every time they try to do it with the real illegals, we hear all kinds of whining about their *rights*. I wish they'd take care of those first and then worry about those here on visas and green cards.


However, this is not the first time by any means that I've heard of this kind of problem with people who have green cards and are married to American citizens. If she's been trying to do it the right way, she shouldn't be penalized for the system screwing up. Those here legally with green cards live in constant fear of doing something wrong and getting deported for good. Those who follow the rules are the ones penalized and they shouldn't be.

real illegals

A significant number of illegal aliens (40%?) came here legally on a visa (typically a tourist visa) with the intent of violating the terms - either by overstaying the time limit or by working when work is prohibited for their particular visa class.

worry about those here on visas and green cards.

If she had had a visa or green card she wouldn't have applied for political asylum.

She was here illegally.

The very thought that you should be allowed to apply for asylum from Columbia is stupid.

Good morning, metmom. How are you?
