  Broken Families: Tina in Irvine

  its not a being dishonest situation or not being upfront or even about the US Citizen having an opportunity to be objective about the heartbreak. Most couples don't find out about the draconian laws until post marriage and largely suffer from the same belief that most other americans have.. US Citizens are "Free" to marry whom they choose.

  Thanks for explaining an important aspect of Immigration Law that few people understand. So in essence US Citizens who marry foriegn nationals sacrifice a freedom that other Americans take for granted, the right to free association and family unity.
  
  Its a shame our Legislators are so callous and cruel, to devise a punishment as draconian as this for a civil violation of Immigration Law. I see no useful purpose in this law. Its purely punitive actually encourages illegals to stay here because of the bar activating if they leave the country, and as far as preventing other Immigration crimes it certainly is not relevant as once the bar is over the alien can apply for legal permanent residence.
  
  Can it be the goal of the US Government to put so much pressure on the marriage of a US Citizen as to cause the marriage to fail?
