WASHINGTON - Spc. Moonsammy Narinesammy isn’t worried about dying in Iraq.

He’s worried about spending the rest of his life in Guyana.

Narinesammy, 31, who has months left on his deployment, spends all of his free time between missions trying to solve his wife’s citizenship problems. Immigration and Naturalization Services officials are finalizing deportation paperwork for Ratashwarie, while she waits nervously in New York.

"I don’t know if somebody is going to knock on the door one day and haul me away while my daughter is out at school," she said.

Aren’t the kids anchors and thereby allow the mother to stay to take care of them?

Guessing from the names he did not marry outside his tribe.

How about not hiring soldiers from outside your nation?

Shades of the Roman empire...

With 12 - 20 Million Illegal Aliens, you can't tell me there is no one within this Gubmint who cannot intercede on his behalf?

Was it not Bush who ordered a moratorium on deportations?

Hey until DEAR LEADER's aunt is on the plane heading to wherever, one of our Military who is serving in harms way, deserves special consideration

The government is quickly able to identify a reason to deport an illegal who is married to a serviceman fighting for this country out the 12 million or so illegals here at any given time. The goverment has more assholes than it has asses IMHO.

He wasn’t hired from outside his nation, he is a US citizen who entered the United States legally.

We couldn’t have held the American Revolution if we’d banned funny little foreign guys.

First of all, we are a nation of immigrants. This guy is in the right - he is risking his neck for this country and in the absence of other information I will assume he is an honorable soldier. What more can you possibly ask?

I believe in controlled but open immigration. Unlike Rome, we are a nation that is united around an idea: the impartial rule of law. Every wave of immigrants from each corner of the world has provided strength for the US (I’m withholding judgement on the Somalis) The fact is that beauracrats would rather harass an honest person than a true criminal. Hardened criminals are easier to catch. Just look at the ATF if you need an example.

Justice must be paired with discretion so that the goal of proper government, securing individual rights in an orderly fashion and punishing those who would harm or rob, can be fully accomplished.

You aren’t at all historically literate, are you? BTW, isn’t this the kind of citizen we would want? He’s doing a lot more for American than a majority of Americans will ever do.

She faces a possible lifetime banishment from the United States for entering the country on a forged passport in 2000.

“I had documentation to get into the country, but it wasn’t mine,” she said. “A broker gave me someone else’s passport to fly from Trinidad to Puerto Rico, and collected all of the paperwork once I got to New York.”

“The only bad thing I’ve ever done is enter this country illegally,” she said.

Moonsammy came to New York legally from Guyana with his parents in 1992, when he was a teenager.

He met Ratashwarie in 2002. She told him she wasn’t interested in short men, but his charm and persistence eventually won him a phone number and a first date.

They married three years later.

The pair had hoped that his status as a citizen would provide the protection Ratashwarie needed to eventually become a citizen herself.

your platitudes however noble and just have resulted in a brown wave that has engulfed us and delivered demographics that ensured Obama and may be irreversible with respect to a liberal majority for many generations

all well intended much like your post but the practical implications are killing us

immigration should have been far more controlled ...

this is Teddy Kennedy’s biggest legacy aside from Chappaquidik and the famous Dodd sandwich

Yup. Legal immigration is a good thing. And if you are willing to serve in the military to obtain citizenship, I say bully! And you should be able to have your wife and children naturalized, too. You have served your country. I just don't like the assholes who run across the border.

I’m a Huguenot descendant...

But my FIVE direct ancestors who were UEL were descendants of German and French settlers...

4 from Huguenots, and one had Palatine German parents...
