NEW BLOG OF THE WEEK!!!!! The DEPORTATION. I describe how Fabienne got deported in the Canada/USA border. Please check it out. This is a very hard time in our lives. We discover the hard way how unfair, cruel and broken our immigration system is. I also talk about of how and when we met, how my friends loved her, how she changed me, places we traveled, etc... I also have a facebook page called Gay marriage and immigration equality. please fell free to check it out.
I have pictures and videos as well. before all this happened I had no idea that things like these happens in the USA. The reason I am doing all this is to educate people about it. Feel free to send me your links, blogs, pages, etc. related to this topic. I am very interested to learn from everybody experience and we can all share and learn from each other.
The author presents calculations to support the position that the total number of same-sex binational couples with one U.S. citizen partner is far greater than the ubiquitously quoted "36,000."

The article explains the origin and the flaws of the 36,000 number and proposed that when we advocate for UAFA, we should stop using the outdated figure and use instead a range of 50,000 - 100,000.





I for one have always feared that UAFA will take a back seat as a stand alone bill to Comprehensive Immigration Reform. while I understand and truly appreciate the Senator and Congressman’s plea for inclusion in CIR, I fear that this may derogate from the work that still needs to be done to sweeten UAFA and pass it as a stand alone, this year. My own comments, together with the very valuable input by Lavi Soloway, founder of Immigration Equality, are noted in the posting’s comment section. I for one believe that if organizations such as Immigration equality worked directly with the Senator and Congressman, they could forward UAFA. Instead IE has nailed their hat onto the Comprehensive Immigration reform hat stand. This action could have served well to compliment out4immigrations letter writing campaign, but again we find our organizations’ inability to unite in strategy.
