Feels like a leftist is behind this to change our hearts and minds.

Kerry can blow me but I think we can make sure this soldier’s wife has nothing to worry about.

Current law should allow her to immigrate legally. I’m not sure what happens (legally) if her husband dies prior to her completing the paperwork - but I think she should be entitled to legalization of status.

I wouldn't have a problem deciding on this case if it wasn't another example of a liberal politician who can only get behind a soldier if some other liberal pet cause can be boosted at the same time.

In this case, if this woman is given protection, Kerry will be a hero of the left, and he will lead the calls for OTHER exceptions having nothing to do with military families.

Amnesty is perfectly justified in this case, IMHO. Just the right thing to do for a man who is fighting for his country.

A broken clock is right twice a day. And Lurch is right here.

Immediate family of military personnel honorably in service to this country should be granted an immediate visa or wavier of visa requirement. Their soldier, sailor, marine or airman has earned it for them.

Should not a citizen be able to bring a foreign wife home, legally? (or visa versa) Kerry is a law maker.

She has nothing to worry about, other than her soldiers where abouts!

Wonder if Spc. Jimenez knew that she was illegal. If, and I hope, he does come back then he might be in a bit of trouble if he knew.

Prayer for the MIAs.

I agree. That soldier’s wife has already paid a much higher price for citizenship than most native born Americans could ever imagine.

Jimenez's family has been leaning heavily on their faith and praying for a miracle. Jimenez, a Catholic, is deeply religious, according to those who know him.

The door of his Water Street apartment is adorned with a poster quoting from the Bible. One of the quotes describes a man who is blessed because he follows the laws of God:

"For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish."

Lots of responses in a short time; the vast majority of them being 100% supportive. And yet, opponents of this sell-out vampire bill are repeatedly called bigots, xenphobes, and other such choice words.

Have yet to see any paper work as to whether this story is true? Where is the marriage certificate, and would it not be a violation of umcj for an active duty person to marry an illegal?

I'm disagreeing here. Call me a purist or whatever, but I'm disagreeing. Military service shouldn't beget such a pass.

yes , there is a visa for it. but you come in legally. The wife came in illegally.
But as soon as she married a soldier, as far as I am concerned, she is legal.
Give her a waiver.

NewsCenter 5's Jack Harper reported that the federal government said it has no plans to deport the wife of Army Spc. Alex Jimenez despite the fact that Yderlin Jimenez entered the country illegally in 2001.

If the government has no plans to deport her .. especially since she is MARRIED to an American ... then why in the hell is Kerry making an issue about this???

She should be allowed to an extention until her husband is either returned or found.

She probably has already recieved this, and J F’ing Kerry is trying to score cheap worthless political points, knowing media won’t dig deep enough to figure it out. Kerry probably saw the memo or heard the case mentioned and figured he’d use it to blow up his sagging image.
