'Married' foreign homosexuals flood immigration offices

“Now, legally married same-sex couples will be able to apply for green cards for their noncitizen spouses. And U.S. citizens will be able to file fiancé visa applications if their future spouse lives in another country and does not have a visa, according to Immigration Equality, a group that works on immigration issues on behalf of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual (LGBT) couples.

"’From an LGBT perspective, at this point, immigration is going to be an even playing field,’ said Cara Jobson, a partner in Wiley and Jobson, a San Francisco immigration law firm.”

‘Same-sex couples flood immigration offices for green cards’

(Well, that’s the whole point of everything, isn’t it – a level playing field. Translated, that means “all things are equal.” No one thing is better or superior or more moral than any other thing. Moslem is as good as Jewish, Buddhism is as good as Christianity, polygamy is as good as … No, wait. Not that. No, no. Not yet, anyway. And, really, if two women want to marry the same man, why not? What right has government to stand in the way of happiness? What right has government to apply the concept of morality to anything? History shows … That does not matter. We are here, we are now.)

But, all fields are not equal. Not when sex is involved,

“Last month, Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) was forced to withdraw an amendment from the national immigration bill that would have allowed foreign partners in a committed same-sex relationship to become citizens. Republicans had threatened to scuttle the bill if the amendment was not yanked.”

“(F)oreign partners in a same-sex relationship.” What about foreign partners in a heterosexual relationship? And, government would decide what makes up a relationship?

All those people who say they want government out of marriage? They don’t.
