He is a bad man, a very, very bad man.
Why? don't you support our country's laws or are you just a bleeding heart?
Why??
I think they should deport her and her husband.
The law is the law. No one's above it, not even a state senator's wife.
Why not? She is here illegally.
Well, I gather you support her husband's pro-criminal policies too.
This is the second incident like this where they've gone after someone's wife.
Why don't they go after the rest of the illegals? The drug dealers, the gang members, the cop-killers, the rapists....
He is a bad man, a very, very bad man.
Another article and a pic of the Dem senator and his new bride in the country illegaly.

The senator must let her go back to Columbia. If she really loves him, she will eventually return. Democrats must live their lives according to Stings songs.
This whole thing confuses me. I thought that if you married an american, you were allowed to live with them in the US indefinitely. Am I missing something?
AP is true to form. Only in the tenth paragraph do they list the party affiliation of the Senator, in keeping with the DBM rule that, if it’s a Republican, you state that in the first sentence, if it is a Democrat, you bury that fact deep in the article.
That notario should have his butt kicked.
The notario thing is suspicious. If he did file an asylum claim without her knowledge and consent than he needs to be prosecuted (hopefully there are laws against that).
Not sure why an asylum claim would be appropriate anyway. Colombia has it's problems, but I don't understand why they would rise to the level of asylum.
I agree with you.
Moonman62, indcons, ConservaTexan, From One - Many, Dixie Yooper, she turned herself in, probably after finding an immigration lawyer that knew what he was doing. the system worked the way it is supposed to. There are no arbitrary deportations. She went in front of a judge in an immigration court. She entered the country legally and she had no intent to defraud immigration service and the judge recognized that fact. She did nothing wrong. Under immigration law, you are in legal status while your case is under review and/or appeal in the courts. In this case USCIS wanted to deport her, but still needed a judge's order. Judge would not give it and even wanted the guy who screwed up her case prosecuted. That guy is the scum bag in all of this. And some of you wanted the husband deported. You cannot deport a U.S. citizen.
I didn't see a party affiliation, so the Senator must be a "D".
I've heard of this before. There's a local tempest in a teapot - roughly the same situation and the illegal is claiming the same thing.
It strikes me as very convenient. Or, is it really common? Can anyone comment?
Maybe we should give her a car and a beer and let her drive 90+ mph in Northern Virginia.

There was a similar case in Iowa. The lawyer who was suppose to be doing the legal work stuffed the papers in a drawer, did nothing, and charged them for his services.
Senator Chuck Grassley's staff probably has quite a box full of information on the sleezy attorney. They might be of some help in sorting this out.
I have a great deal of sympathy for those who tried to do the right thing but were hung out to dry by inept lawyers who failed to carry out the assignments they are paid to do.
