Your Husband Died? Get The F*ck Out.

Wow, this is simply pathetic.  I would think we have more pressing immigration matters to deal with than kicking a widow out of the country, not to mention better things to spend our money on.

Oregon widow to be deported, judge rules

Her U.S. husband died less than 2 years after their marriage

The Associated Press
August 1, 2004

The widow of a U.S. citizen must return to her native South Africa because her husband died after less than two years of marriage, a federal judge has ruled.

U.S. District Judge Owen Panner ruled that immigration officials had reasonably interpreted that the two-year rule was firm, and that Carla Arabella Freeman must leave the country because she and her husband, Robert, hadn’t been married long enough before he died in a 2002 car accident.

Panner ordered immigration officials to wait 30 days before deporting Freeman, allowing the woman’s lawyer time to decide whether to take the case to the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

The attorney, Brent Renison of Portland, criticized the decision, saying it “is not what a civilized country does.”

Although the two-year rule doesn’t come into play often, Renison said that immigration attorneys have learned of at least 25 similar cases.

Immigration officials in Georgia, for example, are seeking to deport Olga Bota, a

38-year-old Romanian citizen whose American husband died from stomach cancer in 2000.

Bota has a 4-year-old daughter who is a U.S. citizen, said Cherie Elizabeth Patronis, the Atlanta attorney representing her.

Rubi Dobrenz, who lives in Mount Vernon, Wash., faces deportation to her native Peru because her husband committed suicide shortly after their marriage in early 2000, said Bart Stroupe, her Seattle attorney.

Renison said he is not aware of any federal court that has sided against immigration officials in such cases. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., co-sponsored a bill passed by Congress in 2000 that allowed Suchada Kwong, a native of Thailand, to become a permanent U.S. resident.

Kwong faced deportation after her American husband was killed in a car wreck in Clark County, Wash., in 1996.

Renison said Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, has introduced a bill to replace the two-year-rule with a standard that says the marriage must be entered in good faith.

About ten years ago or so, there was a Navy test pilot out here that died in an F-86. He was married to an Australian woman for just a year or so. She had to fight to stay in this country.

Think that's bad, they are trying to deport my wife, and I'm still alive. Had to go to court couple weeks ago, next date is in November, all because they want proof I make enough money after I gave them W-2's for 5 years. I was advised to get a lawyer to waste more money. I wonder if I ignore them if they will send in the ATF to burn my house down.

Forcing a legal immigrant out under these conditions while ignoring  millions of illegals is just plain wacko. I'm betting she wins this.

Seriously?  Make enough money to do what?  Be married?

What a total crock.

Fact.

And to be fair, it's so that if you get married, you can prove your not going to be homeless or unable to support yourself and your spouse, which is a good idea I guess, but whoopee.

Sitting in a court room with $100 a day lawyers and no one that can speak English isn't as fun as going to the dentist, and a complete waste of time. Maybe Kerry will tax all those rich bastards and pay for my public defender.

There is such a thing as a $100 a day lawyer?

Like you I'm astonished ... it's not improbable Creamo didn't read very closely his contract with his lawyer :)

No, you did not get it.


them... the wifes. I could "borrow" yours and keep her  for you... until you get back on your feet.


Nah... never mind this was a stupid joke. Forget it.

It is plain ridiculous to ask for the "proff" you can "afford" the wife. > I was just trying to highlight the absurdity, but it did not work the way I planned it.
